In view of the recent incidents of people falling prey to dubious dating websites and getting robbed or blackmailed, the authorities have warned people to keep away from such platforms and sites.

In a video posted on its official Twitter handle, the Dubai Police have pointed out the dangers of coming into contact with scamsters on these online dating apps.


Bad desires of people may make them communicate with unknown persons, the text on the video says, while highlighting how dating apps or unlicensed massage centres lure victims through messages following which they are either robbed or blackmailed.

If anyone has become a victim of a dating scam, they should inform the Dubai Police immediately.
