Dubai Police set trap to nab criminals DUBAI - Fraudsters are targeting unemployed people who search websites to get a job, according to Saeed Al Hajiri, Director of General Department of Cyber Crimes of the Dubai Police. Al Hajiri, said that some fraudsters and companies are targeting unemployed people who searched websites to get a job. "The cheaters set traps to trick them," Al Hajiri said, adding that scammers are causing huge losses to jobseekers as they ask them to pay money to process fees to convince that their job offer is serious. Al Hajiri said that cheaters are taking advantage of social media and emails to carry out their fraud plans. He added that victims of job scams paid money as they have no doubts in the offers as the work contract seem to be real. "Cheaters also use logos of famous companies," he added. He warned people from falling into this trap run by unknown people or companies or unreliable recruitment offices. Al Hajiri said that police has received several similar complaints. "We have launched investigations and set traps to arrest the criminals." Last year the Dubai police arrested last year a gang that offers jobs on the internet. He said that some gangs advertise online that they want people who can work from home against commissions and then they ask them to open bank account in order to send laundered money to them. He said that people who accept these type of jobs will be legally responsible. Separately, he urged people also to avoid answering phones calls that tell them that they have won prizes. "This is fraud." In 2015, the Dubai Police registered last year 361 cybercrimes while 160 people were referred to court including 43 fraud cases. amira@khaleejtimes.com |
