Dubai Police arrest gang for cyber theft
15 June 2025 14:58 DUBAI (ALETIHAD) As part of their ongoing efforts to combat cyber fraud, Dubai Police, represented by the Anti-Fraud Centre, arrested a gang that routinely stole funds and banking data by luring victims through fake links. The suspects impersonated various organisations, including restaurants, delivery companies, and promotional outlets. Dubai Police warned the community to avoid clicking on links from untrustworthy sources, even if they appear to come from recognised entities. They also encouraged community members to report suspicious links immediately at the nearest police station, or through the 'Police Eye' feature on the Dubai Police App and the eCrime platform. The Police revealed that in this particular instance, the gang's scheme involved sending SMS messages or links with fake names and offers from well-known organisations to deceive victims into thinking they were legitimate.'Once a victim clicks on the link and enters their banking information, the gang uses that data to withdraw funds,' the Police said. "Specialist teams at the Anti-Fraud Centre, in collaboration with relevant authorities, successfully analysed the patterns of these fraudulent messages and tracked suspicious online activities, resulting in the identification and arrest of the gang members, as well as the seizure of the electronic tools used in these crimes," it added.
