•             You will receive an OTP from Dubai Police. The other person will ask you for the OTP, don’t share that.

•             They can ask you for your Emirates ID number; don’t share that.

•             They can ask you to authorize a request through the UAE Pass app; don’t do that.

To convince you further, they might WhatsApp you a fake Emirates ID of a Dubai Police officer.

They can also ask you to check your email, saying it is from Dubai Police and Central Bank of UAE. These are fraud emails; don’t trust them.

They might use threatening language and try to threaten you that if you don’t cooperate, Dubai Police will take strict action against you.
