Dubai Police’s Anti-Fraud Center has issued a stern warning to residents, urging them to exercise extreme caution regarding deceptive visa advertisements. Scammers are increasingly impersonating legitimate government entities or operating under the guise of unlicensed offices to swindle unsuspecting individuals. This advisory is a central component of the ongoing "Be Aware of Fraud" campaign, which seeks to arm the public with the knowledge needed to identify and bypass these sophisticated criminal schemes.

To stay safe, authorities emphasize that all visa-related matters should be handled exclusively through official government channels or recognized, licensed agencies. Residents are strongly advised to verify the legitimacy of any offer before parting with money or disclosing sensitive personal data. If you encounter suspicious activity, such as promises of suspiciously fast visa approvals or job offers from unverified sources, you should report it immediately via the Dubai Police app, the eCrime portal, or by dialing 901.
