Scams in UAE: Money 'wrongly' sent to your account? Do not transfer it to strangers
Scammers in the UAE are employing new tactics to lure unsuspecting victims out of their money, authorities warned. While residents have been often warned to avoid clicking on fraudulent links, different methods which play on people's emotions and sympathy are also used to deceive. Dubai Police shared a video advisory warning residents not to transfer money to strangers. In the video, a man finds a huge sum of money transferred to his account, and then gets a scam call telling him that the money was sent to him "accidentally". The scammer then asks the man to send that money to another account, who the scammer claims is a "friend in need of urgent cash for his daughter's treatment." Responding to the claim of money supposedly "needed for treatment", the victim hurriedly transfers the money to a strange account, unaware he is being duped. Two days later, the man receives a message from the bank, stating his account has been flagged due to a violation of policy. It is essential to take action if you receive money from someone you do not know, by immediately reporting it to the relevant authorities through the number 901.
