"There are certain bank details the customer should not reveal to anyone, not even to the bank customer service employees. The bank employees do not ever ask about confidential details pertaining to the account or to the debit/credit card. They only ask for information necessary for identity checks (like the personal mobile number registered with the bank, the person's date of birth or mother's name)," the lawyer said.
He added that customers need to be advised that the bank would not compensate in incidents where it is proven that they were not careful enough to prevent any hacking into their e-mails or mobile phones where they store the bank account details or if they were the ones to disclose in person such confidential data."
Al Tamimi advised that it would be best just to block suspicious numbers rather than responding to incoming messages or calls. "Most of those numbers, through which suspicious activities are carried out, are operational from outside the UAE. It would be better just to block them and be alert."
People, who are caught doing or attempting such fraud schemes, would face both criminal and civil lawsuits, Al Tamimi pointed out.
