Residents in Dubai have been warned about a new scam involving fraudsters impersonating companies or official bodies.

The scammers send a text message claiming to be from Emirates Post, stating that a package could not be delivered due to incorrect address information.

The message then redirects recipients to an unofficial website.

Emirates Post has warned customers to exercise caution and be vigilant against fraud.

The company advises that SMS messages from Emirates Post will only be from registered accounts and would not use personal numbers or emails to ask for payment.

Customers can make secure payments through the company’s website and mobile app.

In addition, Dubai Police has launched an awareness campaign to educate the public about the dangers of phone scams aimed at obtaining financial information.
