The Ras Al Khaimah Police General Command, in collaboration with the Department of Media and Public Relations, the Department of Comprehensive Police Stations, and the Department of Criminal Investigations, has issued a caution to the public regarding the potential threats associated with responding to calls from unknown or suspicious sources, particularly those where the caller claims to represent entities, companies, or banks. These fraudulent callers request individuals to update their bank account information, ostensibly to provide confidential data such as bank card numbers and financial account details, including the card number, OTP verification number, and CVV code, as a final step to complete a transaction, putting the recipient at risk of electronic fraud.
We urge the public to stay informed about the latest security trends and developments by following official police accounts. This knowledge will empower them to prevent and safeguard against potential threats, ensuring the protection of their rights, assets, and public funds.
We emphasize the importance of community members reporting any cybercrimes, blackmail, or suspicious behavior they encounter. They are encouraged to contact the police promptly on 901 to ensure a swift response and the widespread dissemination of security and safety.
