A fake website with the photo of Salik's Chief Executive Officer Ibrahim Al
Haddad is doing rounds. The website states that the CEO has “just concluded an
agreement with the government to allow all citizens to invest in Salik shares
through its new trading platform.”
It adds: “You have a unique opportunity to generate $9,700 (approximately
Dh35,600) monthly by investing in Salik shares starting at $250 (approximately
Dh917).”
The website asks individuals to submit their name, email address and UAE mobile
phone number.

not dollars as claimed by the website. On Friday, the toll gate operator’s shares
closed at Dh3.380 per share, up 0.595 per cent. Salik is one of the most sought-
after shares as the business model requires low capital expenditures.
