One day in August 1995 a man called Foutanga Babani Sissoko walked into the head office of the Dubai Islamic Bank and asked for a loan to buy a car. The manager agreed, and Sissoko invited him home for dinner. It was the prelude, writes the BBC's Brigitte Scheffer, to one of the most audacious confidence tricks of all time. Over dinner, Sissoko made a startling claim. He told the bank manager, Mohammed Ayoub, that he had magic powers. With these powers, he could take a sum of money and double it. He invited his Emirati friend to come again, and to bring some cash. Black magic is condemned by Islam as blasphemous. Even so, there's still a widespread belief in it, and Ayoub was taken in by the colourful and mysterious businessman from a remote village in Mali.

Police look through confiscated mobile phones used by Taiwanese, Chinese and Korean criminals arrested last month A Taiwanese-led criminal ring busted in Jeju, Korea last December is giving the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office an unusual headache. With both the Taiwanese and Chinese governments requesting prosecutors repatriate suspects, Korean authorities are trying hard to do their job while not damaging any diplomatic relations. The big problem is that China wants to try all the Chinese suspects, including the ones from Taiwan.  Last September, the Representative Office of Taiwan in Korea informed authorities that one of its nationals residing in Seoul was leading a voice phishing ring. After three months of undercover investigation, authorities identified two apartments in Seogwipo, Jeju Island as the phishing ring’s “call center.” On Dec. 20, police, fire authorities and immigration officials raided the apartments and rounded up 51 Taiwanese, seven Chinese and ...
