KUWAIT: A Lebanese man paid for the rental of an apartment that he had only seen via photos. A Lebanese man working in Kuwait saw an ad about an apartment in Salwa so he called the owner and asked to see it. The owner then convinced the Lebanese to meet him in Hawally and showed him several pictures of the flat. The man agreed to rent it and paid the rent in full. The Lebanese man then moved his furniture to the address he was given but upon arrival in Salwa discovered that there was no flat at the location he'd been given. The alleged owner did not respond to phone calls so the man filed a police report. Detectives are investigating the case.
