GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Dozens of citizens in Gaza have fallen prey to fraud on the part of the Palestinian YouTuber Jalal al-Najjar, who collected $1 million from investors and then disappeared. He had followers interested in investing in digital currencies but suddenly vanished and stopped responding to individuals who paid him money for investment purposes.
Amid the deteriorating economic conditions plaguing the Gaza Strip, citizens are deploying strenuous efforts to make ends meet, as they have recently started venturing into pyramid and network online shopping programs. However, many have fallen prey to fraud.
