Dubai Resident Warns People About A Fraudulent Phone Call Claiming They Were Dubai Police
Dubai Police have repeatedly issued multiple advisories warning people about fraudulent calls and messages. And now, a Dubai resident has warned people about a fake call from a number, verifying personal information.
The call was from a U.S.A or a Canadian number, pretending they were from CID or Dubai Police
They even verified some personal information with her and also sent an OTP using the Dubai Police system.
So, if you got OTPs from Dubai Police through an SMS but you didn’t try to verify anything, RUN IT’S A SCAM! Although getting a text message from the police seems legit as day, you have to be double careful because scams are everywhere these days.
