Dubai Police have issued a strong warning to residents regarding the increasing prevalence of fake ticket scams, particularly ahead of major concerts and travel events. Scammers tend to exploit the enthusiasm and fear of missing out by ramping up their fake ticketing operations during such times.
How the Scams Operate
- Creation of fake websites resembling legitimate ticket sellers.
- Fraudulent offers circulating on social media platforms.
- Tricking users into sharing card details or making payments for non-existent tickets.
Official Advice and Actions
The authorities urge the public to:
- Verify ticket sources through official and trusted outlets.
- Remain cautious about offers that seem too good to be true.
- Never share personal or financial information with unknown sources.
- Report any incident of ticket scams promptly to Dubai Police.
To counter this growing threat, Dubai Police are amplifying awareness campaigns and providing guidance on how to recover money in fraud cases when feasible. This initiative is part of Dubai’s commitment to maintaining safety and security for both residents and visitors.
