Dubai Police issue alert over ‘Magic Ink' scam
Authorities in Dubai have apprehended a suspect for orchestrating a fraudulent scheme involving disappearing ink, targeting individuals seeking bank loans. The fraud entailed using fake documents printed with ink that vanished soon after delivery, as reported by the Dubai Police Fraud Prevention Team under the General Department of Criminal Investigation and Criminology. The perpetrator persuaded victims to pay fees by presenting bogus forms described as 'Account opening fees.' Additionally, cheques were manipulated by writing crucial information with magic ink that would later disappear—allowing for alterations to names and amounts. After receiving complaints from several victims, police uncovered that the suspect had used counterfeit business cards and employee IDs to impersonate banking staff. Officials urge residents to steer clear of informal individuals promising assistance with bank-related processes in return for money. They recommend verifying the authenticity of representatives' credentials by reviewing official identification and using personal pens when signing documents. Dubai Police encourage the public to report any suspicions of fraud promptly via the Dubai Police smart app or the eCrime platform. What is Magic Ink? Invisible Ink (Physical Magic Ink) Often called 'magic ink' in everyday language. Used for secret messages, it becomes visible only under certain conditions: Heat (e.g., lemon juice ink revealed by candle flame) UV light (special ink only seen under blacklight) Chemical reaction (inks that appear with another reagent) Common in spy toys, novelty pens, and escape rooms. How To Detect Magic Ink Detecting magic ink (typically invisible ink) depends on the type of ink used, as different inks require different activation or detection methods. Here's how to identify if magic ink has been used, based on the most common types: 🔥 1. Heat-Activated Ink (e.g., lemon juice, milk) How to detect: Hold the paper near a heat source, such as: A candle (carefully) An iron A light bulb The ink browns and becomes visible as it oxidizes with heat. 🔦 2. UV/Blacklight Ink How to detect: Use a UV flashlight (blacklight). In a dark room, shine the UV light on the paper — the ink will glow or become visible if it contains fluorescent compounds. Often used in: Security documents Nightclub stamps Toys and games 🧪 3. Chemical-Reactive Ink How to detect: Some inks become visible when another chemical is applied. Example: Phenolphthalein in ink turns pink with a base like ammonia. To test: Apply lemon juice, vinegar, or baking soda water to the paper. Use litmus paper to detect any pH changes indicating hidden ink. 🌡️ 4. Pressure or Indentation Clues How to detect: Even if ink is invisible, writing pressure may leave indentation marks.

Griesbach after pleading guilty to child enticement and committing a felony sex offense against a minor. Richard G. Frohling, Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that 43-year-old Kelly Rosemore, who was living in North Dakota around the time of the offenses, was sentenced on May 15. Wisconsin man arrested at his workplace for possession of child pornography Rosemore, a previously registered sex offender after a prior felony offense in 2010, was living in North Dakota in late 2023. Before December 2023, he met a 14-year-old Wisconsin girl online and groomed her with sexually explicit photos. Rosemore knew she was underage and traveled to the Green Bay area in March and April 2024, renting hotel rooms, where he sexually assaulted her. According to the release, he restricted her breathing, restrained her wrists and had her blindfolded as he took explicit photos of her. The girl reported the sexual assaults to the Brown County Sheriff's Office. Rosemore, who had returned to North Dakota, sent her an explicit photo taken without her knowledge in an extortion threat. Investigations were coordinated through the Brown County Sheriff's Office and the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
