Invisible Bank Robbery Scam Unveiled

In Iran during 2002, authorities embarked on a quest to apprehend a fraudulent sorcerer who had deceived an unsuspecting man into believing he possessed the power of invisibility, allowing him to rob banks. According to reports from the Jam-e Jam newspaper, the misinformed robber's audacious attempts were thwarted by bank customers in Tehran, who promptly subdued him when he attempted to snatch banknotes from their grasp.

During his court appearance, the disillusioned would-be bank robber admitted that he had parted with 5 million rials (equivalent to $625) to a man who purportedly possessed mystical spells capable of rendering him invisible. He candidly confessed, saying, "I made a mistake. I now understand the extent of the elaborate ruse that was played on me."
