A fake transfer of 10 thousand dirhams .. The fraud claims to treat his son his friend

Dubai Police warned of a fraudulent style, in which the fraudsters send fake messages stating that financial transfers have reached the victim’s account, with the aim of persuading him to re -send money, which may involve him in suspicious financial transactions.

In an awareness video published on her official platforms on social media, one of the victims appeared receiving a text message indicating a sum of 10,000 dirhams in his bank account, and immediately after him, he received a call from a stranger claiming that he sent the money by mistake while trying to transfer him to one of his friends, claiming that the money is dedicated to treating his sick daughter, and asked the victim to return it immediately.

Pointing in good faith, the victim sent the amount to the account provided by the caller, and after two days, he received a notice from the bank that a “precautionary procedure” was imposed on his account due to a financial activity in violation of the organizational instructions.

Dubai Police confirmed that the methods followed by fraudsters to carry out their fraudulent operations are numerous, but enhancing awareness and vigilance can be addressed efficiently, warning against transferring money to any unknown person, calling for informing the competent authorities immediately by calling on the number 901.
