Hello fellow expats!

Greetings. I need a quick help, I'm a resident of Kuwait and was visiting dubai this weekend. I got swindled by a company in Dubai. A caller called saying that my number won 500,000 DHs price and asked me to do steps.

Bottom line, I ended up paying 360,00 DHs. To them. Is there a way I can file a case stating that I was swindled?

Hi there, sorry to hear that. That was typical scam. Report to the police and let them track the phone number they used, however in such cases it does take time and sometimes get ignored since the amount of money is not much unfortunately.

Hello!

thanks for the reply. Yes, being the Dubai shopping festival season, and news of winners making it big hit mainstream, we were convinced that it is legit聽

Ironic way to celebrate year of giving, ugh!
