Questions & Answers about بلغ الزبون عن احتيال وعملية مصرفية مشبوهة.

Is بلغ here pronounced balagh or ballagh?

Here it is understood as بلّغ = ballagh, not balagh.

Why this matters:

• بلغ without a shadda can be ambiguous in normal Arabic writing.
• balagh usually means he reached / it reached.
• ballagh means he informed / reported / notified.

In this sentence, the presence of عن strongly tells you the intended verb is بلّغ عن = to report.

So a more fully spelled version would be:

بلّغ الزبون عن احتيال وعملية مصرفية مشبوهة.

Why is عن used after بلّغ?

Because بلّغ عن is the pattern used for reporting something.

So:

• بلّغ عن احتيال = reported fraud
• بلّغ عن مشكلة = reported a problem

You can think of عن here as part of the verb pattern, not as a word you translate too literally every time.

A useful contrast:

• بلّغ البنكَ عن المشكلة = he notified the bank about the problem
  
  • البنك is the party being notified
  • عن المشكلة is the thing being reported

Why does the sentence start with the verb? Would الزبون بلّغ... also be correct?
