How To Spot Fake Airline Promotions In Kuwait
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 1: Online scammers are stepping up their game, and thousands across Kuwait could be at risk. Fraudsters are now flooding social media with fake giveaways, too-good-to-be-true investment offers, and forged airline ticket promotions—all designed to steal your data or even your money. The tricks are so convincing that some major brands, including leading airlines, have been forced to temporarily halt their digital advertising campaigns to prevent users from falling prey to these cyber traps. So, what exactly are these scams—and how can you spot one before it's too late? According to cybersecurity experts and brand protection analysts, today's fraudsters aren't just amateurs working from the shadows. They're running slick operations using fake websites, AI-generated visuals, and even trending hashtags to appear credible. Popular, trusted brands—especially airlines, banks, and government agencies—are frequently impersonated. And while the logos and design might look official, what's lurking behind is anything but. Growing fake ad epidemic From false airline giveaways to bogus discounts, here's how cybercriminals are targeting unsuspecting users: Hijacking hashtags: Criminals ride on trending social media tags or brand mentions to give their fake posts a visibility boost. Lookalike domains: or might seem legitimate at a glance, but they redirect users to phishing pages designed to collect sensitive information or banking credentials. Tempting bait: From free flight tickets or discounted tickets to India/Egypt/Dubai to promises of doubling your investment in Kuwaiti dinars—if it sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is. How to protect yourself from fake ads Kuwaiti users don't need to be tech experts to stay safe. Here's what to watch for: Verify the profile: Only engage with verified social media pages with the blue checkmark. If the page has low engagement or was recently created, avoid it altogether. Scrutinise usernames: Fraudsters often use slightly altered usernames—like @Kuwaitairways_off1cial instead of @KuwaitAirways. Always double-check before clicking. Spot poor grammar: Official communications are professionally written. Be wary of posts using sloppy grammar or panic phrases like 'Last chance! Act now! or Limited time only! or Selling out fast! or Ends tonight! or Grab it before it's gone! or Offer expiring soon! or even Unlock this offer!' Hover before clicking: On a computer, hover over a link to preview its real destination. On mobile, use tools like to assess a site's safety. Ignore dream deals: Airline tickets for free or instant returns on financial investments rarely come without strings. Stick to offers announced on official channels. Report and alert: Platforms like Instagram and Facebook allow users to report misleading ads. Always notify the real brand via their website or official contact channels. Kuwaiti officials sound the alarm With summer travel in full swing, the stakes are rising. Kuwait's Ministry of Interior has echoed warnings, urging citizens and expats to avoid falling for fake promotional offers generally found via social platforms unless fully verified. The Ministry of Interior and Kuwait Banks have jointly flagged these fraudulent campaigns as a 'major digital threat,' especially during the holiday season when many are making last-minute travel and financial decisions.

The announcement came during a high-level meeting chaired by His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah at Bayan Palace. The session brought together members of the ministerial committee tasked with following up on agreements and memoranda of understanding (MoUs) between Kuwait and China. 'The official high-level communications with the Chinese government are progressing rapidly,' said Assistant Foreign Minister for Asian Affairs, Ambassador Sameeh Johar Hayat, in a statement published by Kuwait News Agency (KUNA). 'Next month, Kuwait will welcome four official delegations representing major Chinese state-owned enterprises to discuss avenues for cooperation and investment with the Kuwaiti government in areas such as infrastructure, logistics, and other development sectors.' The meeting reviewed the latest developments in implementing a number of MoUs between the two governments, covering strategic sectors like Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port, renewable energy, low-carbon waste recycling, public housing development, wastewater treatment, and free economic zones. Discussions also touched on joint efforts to combat desertification. HH the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Al-Abdullah underscored Kuwait's commitment to moving forward with large-scale development plans and strengthening its strategic partnership with China. 'What has been achieved in terms of positive economic growth indicators and attracting foreign investments confirms that we are on the right path,' he said, stressing the importance of 'promoting initiative and achievement across all aspects of economic development.' He added that the deepening collaboration with China 'represents an important step toward expanding major development projects in the country and strengthening economic ties between the two nations.' As part of recent collaborative efforts, a high-level technical delegation from Kuwait's Ministry of Public Works was set to travel to China early this week to discuss the launch of a major wastewater treatment initiative, the committee noted during its meeting last week. However, no further details were provided on the visit in this week's press statement. The meeting was attended by senior government officials, including Foreign Minister Abdullah Al-Yahya, Housing Minister Abdullatif Al-Meshari, Electricity and Renewable Energy Minister Dr Sabeeh Al-Mukhaizeem, and Director General of the Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority Sheikh Dr Meshaal Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah.

Both sides emphasized the value of strengthening their technical partnership, the ministry noted. The Chinese diplomat praised Kuwait's current presidency of the Digital Cooperation Organization, saying it reflects the country's active role in promoting innovation and shaping digital policy across the region and globally. 'This meeting comes as part of efforts to enhance constructive dialogue between the State of Kuwait and the People's Republic of China toward sustainable and fruitful digital cooperation,' Liu said in the statement. He also invited Minister Al-Omar to attend the upcoming PartNIR Forum—a global event on Fourth Industrial Revolution partnerships—scheduled for September. — Agencies
