Among them is fake employment.. Abu Dhabi Police warns the public of renewed fraud methods
Abu Dhabi, 5th August, 2018 (WAM) — Abu Dhabi Police has warned against the renewed methods of fraudsters and scammers who lure victims in misleading ways, whereby they are defrauded by paying a deposit to sell fake vehicle numbers, or photos of properties, or through links to fake fraud websites that bear the names of famous restaurants and shops and offer special offers to the public in exchange for paying fees through which the balance is withdrawn after completing the payment process from the credit card on the fake website.
Abu Dhabi Police warned job seekers against “fake employment” and believing the lies of fraudsters, who are currently exploiting the opportunity of holding official events and activities to defraud them by creating pages for fake companies on the Internet as accredited recruitment companies or programs on social media sites and allocating them to pay sums of money as fees for these fake jobs, so that applicants eventually discover that they have fallen victim to fraud and deception.
It called on the public not to share confidential information with anyone, whether account or card information, online banking passwords, ATM PINs, security number (CCV) or password, as bank employees will not ask for this information.
Abu Dhabi Police called on the public, in the event of falling victim to fraud, to go to the nearest police station and quickly report any calls they receive from unknown persons asking them to update their bank details, by contacting the Aman service number 8002626 or by sending a text message to 2828 or by email aman@adpolice.gov.ae.
She called for activating protection programs to ensure the efficiency of eliminating harmful sites that contain electronic codes that aim to steal their savings, and not to be led by false temptations.
