- Do not share your personal Emirates ID, Passport, OTP, bank details, Mobile, Mobile Sim or sensitive information over calls or links or person. Dubai Police, government offices or banks will never ask for such details. Scammers often use mobile numbers, so wait for a call from a verified landline and confirm the identity before sharing any information and always verify through official mobile apps and stay cautious.
- Do not share your Emirates ID with anyone or use it to deposit money at an ATM. Doing so could put you at risk of being involved in a fraudulent transaction.
- Employers Cover All Costs: In the UAE, employers are legally responsible for all recruitment-related costs, including visa processing, medical tests, and Emirates ID applications.
- Asking for money during the recruitment process is a common scam in the UAE and is strictly illegal. They may even provide fake appointment letters or contracts to appear legitimate. Scammers advertise fake job opportunities, often promising high salaries and attractive benefits.
- Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, and other online investment scams are significant risks in the UAE and globally. These fraudulent schemes promise high returns with little or no risk, but in reality, they rely on new investments to pay returns to earlier investors, making them unsustainable in the long term. It’s crucial to be aware of these scams and to carefully research any investment opportunity before parting with your money.
