Like a wolf in a police uniform, these calls try to convince you they’re official Dubai authorities. Callers spin a story about CID or the police needing an OTP to verify your Emirates ID, then pressure you to share personal data. The trick works best when you’re unfamiliar with UAE procedures, so they count on confusion. Hang up immediately, never give out OTP, passwords, or any personal info. Block the number on your device and report it to your carrier or local consumer protection agency. Keep a log of suspicious numbers, and educate friends and family about the common “fake police” script.
