Colonel Saeed Al Hajri, Director of Dubai Police’s Cybercrime Department has warned the public of the latest phone scams carried out to embezzle and seize money out of people.
It was pointed out that such criminals carry out their scam by contacting their target victims and pretending to be bank employees.
The scammers convince victims that their credit cards will be blocked if personal information were not renewed, in order to illegally obtain various amounts of cash.
Another scam which they use is by impersonating employees of some random company, making their victim believe they have won money in a raffle draw.
Dubai: Around 8,000 phone numbers used by scammers have been blocked this year, Dubai Police revealed on Wednesday.
Launching a campaign to raise awareness among the public about fake calls and tricks people use to extort money, Colonel Saeed Al Hajiri, Director of Cyber-Crimes Department in Dubai Police, said that despite law enforcement teams cracking down on scammers, such scams can be effectively dealt with only when people are aware and do not fall prey to them.
“Dubai Police arrested 86 suspects in 400 fraud complaints this year. We need more people to be aware of the scam and not to give their bank details to anonymous callers who pose as bank employees or government officials,” Col Al Hajiri said at a virtual workshop organised by Dubai Police.
