Dubai Police Warn Public of SIM Swap Scam Amid Regional Tensions

Dubai Police have issued warnings about fraudsters exploiting regional tensions by impersonating officials from a so-called 'Dubai Crisis Management' department. These scammers seek sensitive personal data, including UAE Pass credentials and Emirates ID details, to conduct SIM swap frauds that could grant access to victims' bank accounts via mobile apps. Authorities emphasized they never request confidential information via calls or texts and urged the public to report suspicious activity through official channels. Security systems remain operational amid ongoing monitoring.
