Authorities caution that divulging personal information may enable SIM swap scams and illegal access to mobile bank accounts.
Dubai: Dubai Police have warned residents about fraudulent schemes in which scammers impersonate employees purportedly from a “Dubai Crisis Management” department, falsely claiming affiliation with Dubai Police.
Authorities said the fraudsters are exploiting current developments to contact individuals and solicit sensitive personal information, including UAE Pass login credentials and Emirates ID details.
“Authorities warned that providing such details may lead to SIM swap scams and unauthorized access to mobile bank accounts.
Dubai Police emphasized that official authorities never request confidential information, passwords, or verification codes via phone calls or text messages under any circumstances.
Residents are urged not to share personal or financial details with unverified callers and to report any suspected fraud immediately through official channels, either by calling 901 or using the eCrime platform dedicated to cybercrime reports.
