Scammers might be getting smarter, and this Dubai resident learned that the hard way.<\/p>\n
A Dubai-based man recently came across what looked like a legit Instagram AD promoting concert tickets at a discount price. Sounds tempting, and surely too good to be true.<\/p>\n
A few days later, he had to say hello to fake concert tickets and goodbye to AED6,000 from his account.<\/p>\n
The ad was quite believably packaged with the Coca-Cola Arena branding, but with one minor difference – the Email ID was not that of Coca-Cola Arena.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey make it look all legit but the email is wrong. I\u2019ve checked the official Coca-Cola Arena box office email address,\u201d he told Lovin Dubai.<\/p>\n
