Dubai Police nab scammer for 11.8M theft
Dubai Police successfully arrested two individuals accused of professionally conducting phone scams worth over 11.87 million dirhams. They impersonated official and international officials to lure victims and transfer their money abroad. The suspects used tactics to undermine victims’ trust, such as claiming there were external legal cases against them and threatening them, then asking victims to sell their jewelry and transfer the proceeds. They also booked hotel rooms and falsely assured victims they would not be implicated in any legal issues. Dubai Police analyzed data, tracked the flow of funds, and lured the perpetrators into confessions. The suspects admitted to the scam and revealed they received instructions via social media networks. Dubai Police emphasize the importance of being cautious about suspicious calls impersonating official figures and encourage the public to report fraud operations through the "eCrime" platform or the 901 contact center to safeguard the community.
