Suspect Admits Using Fake Drug Sales Page to Defraud Buyers

A suspect accused of running a social media page advertising narcotics told investigators that the account was a scam rather than a genuine drug-selling operation.

In his statement, the suspect said he had created the page to target people seeking to buy illegal drugs and persuade them to send money.

The scheme involved receiving money transfers from prospective buyers before switching off the phone, cutting off their means of contact.

According to his account, the page’s apparent offer of narcotics was a lure. He said his aim was to take buyers’ money, not to trade in drugs.

The suspect made the admissions during questioning by investigating authorities. The information provided did not specify how many people were affected or how much money had been taken.
