Wangiri Fraud in UAE

Received a missed call from an unknown number? Be careful, this might be Wangiri Fraud. 

The residents in UAE are now facing a new scamming or fraud by international fraudsters.

Commonly known as the 'Wangiri Fraud' method, the scammers make money when the victim calls back on the expensive numbers. Victims get charged high amounts while on the call, which usually will play a pre-recorded message or tone which is designed to keep the caller person connected for long periods of time.

The scammer is tricking you into calling back this premium number for which you will incur costly charges. Stay vigilant, don’t call back. Legitimate callers will either call back or send a message. 

Du telephone users can report such phone calls by contacting their customer care at 800155 or email fc@du.ae
