6. Fake vehicle number plate frauds

Thinking of getting a unique car plate number? Beware of online scams offering them at
suspiciously low prices. Abu Dhabi Police have warned about fake accounts offering ‘exclusive’
vehicle number plates at discounted prices.

Stay safe:

• Only participate in auctions hosted by official transport authorities.
• Report scams to Abu Dhabi Police’s Aman service at 8002626 or email
aman@adpolice.gov.ae.

7. Bogus bank calls - Don't disclose your details!

Received a call claiming your bank account is frozen or needs updating? Think twice before
going into panic mode. Banks will never ask for sensitive details over the phone. In April 2024,
Dubai Police arrested 494 people involved in 406 such fraud cases and stated that fraudsters
often use fear tactics to steal banking details.
