UAE telecoms regulator warns of new scam

Monday, 25 November 2019 12:35

Watch out for a new online scam promising prizes in celebration of the UAE National Day.

That’s the message from the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA), which says fraudsters have been circulating WhatsApp messages with the fake offers.

It’s urging the public to stay clear of these links that ask for the personal information of users.
