If you’ve been on the receiving end of some suspect messages asking for your bank details or saying you won a million riyals, please note: they ARE too good to be true.

The Saudi techie, Abdulaziz Al Hmadi, shared a warning to residents on Twitter, asking them to report any suspicious messages or calls that they have been receiving.

In the tweet, Al Hmadi shared a phone number that residents can use to report the suspicious activity, hopefully reducing the outbreak of these scams.

As it turns out, so many peeps have been receiving odd messages across the Kingdom

Many responded to his tweet with their own stories by sharing the fraudulent messages they had received in the last week.

“I’ve received this message and I laughed, because I was using the ATM when the sender sent it to me”

The timing couldn’t have been more coincidental for this one.

“A lot of Saudi numbers promote Forex. We should report it.”

Some even suggested how these scammers go about their ‘job’

“The problem is that they use IMO for their calls, so their numbers are hidden”

Eeeeek!
