Dubai police have awarded a woman Dh760,000 after she became a victim of an online trading fraud. The woman was deceived by a man who sent her a YouTube video explaining how the fake trading platform worked. He also provided a link for registration and fund transfer, successfully convincing her to send the money. This case underscores the increasing risk of online scams in Dubai.
Authorities have urged the public to:
- Remain cautious when approached about investment opportunities online
- Verify trading platforms thoroughly before transferring any funds
- Report any suspicious activity to the police promptly
In a separate development within the UAE, Ras Al Khaimah is taking innovative steps to ensure food safety in home-based food businesses by launching a new program that introduces a unique participatory governance model to monitor food quality and safety standards. This initiative represents the emirate’s first focused effort to improve standards in small-scale food enterprises operating from homes.
Moreover, Ras Al Khaimah is set to inaugurate a significant new recreational space, Al Riffa Park, by the end of the year. Construction started in May, giving the trees and plants adequate time to thrive ahead of the grand opening. The park is designed to increase green spaces and provide residents with more opportunities for outdoor activities.
These initiatives reflect the UAE’s ongoing commitment to:
- Protecting residents from fraud and scams
- Enhancing community wellbeing through improved food safety
- Expanding public recreational facilities
