Dubai Police, through the Anti-Fraud Center of the General Department of Criminal Investigation, has issued a strong warning against fraudulent schemes targeting individuals with false promises of obtaining job visas without any legitimate legal basis or official authorization.

The center explained that fraudsters are increasingly exploiting job seekers by claiming they can secure work visas in exchange for money, despite having no official capacity or legal approval to process such applications. These deceptive practices are often carried out through social media platforms, unofficial advertisements, or direct communication, preying on individuals seeking employment opportunities.

Dubai Police stressed the importance of dealing exclusively with official government authorities and legally licensed offices when completing any procedures related to job visas. Individuals are urged to carefully review official requirements and conditions and avoid being misled by attractive offers or unrealistic promises that lack credibility.

As part of its ongoing awareness campaign titled “Be Aware of Fraud,” the Anti-Fraud Center emphasized that visa verification must only be conducted through authorized official channels.

The campaign aims to raise public awareness and strengthen community vigilance as a key defense against various forms of fraud.

The center also highlighted the importance of remaining cautious at all times and refraining from sharing personal or financial information with unverified entities.

Fraudsters often rely on psychological manipulation to gain victims’ trust before carrying out their illegal activities.

Dubai Police further called on the public to immediately report any suspected fraud or attempted scams through the Dubai Police smart application, the eCrime platform dedicated to cybercrime reporting, or by contacting 901.

Prompt reporting plays a crucial role in limiting the spread of fraudulent activities and protecting the wider community.

This warning reflects Dubai Police’s ongoing commitment to safeguarding society, enhancing public awareness, and combating financial and cyber-related crimes, while reinforcing trust in official systems and promoting safe and lawful practices across the emirate.
