How To Spot Fake Airline Promotions In Kuwait
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 1: Online scammers are stepping up their game, and thousands across Kuwait could be at risk. Fraudsters are now flooding social media with fake giveaways, too-good-to-be-true investment offers, and forged airline ticket promotions—all designed to steal your data or even your money. The tricks are so convincing that some major brands, including leading airlines, have been forced to temporarily halt their digital advertising campaigns to prevent users from falling prey to these cyber traps. So, what exactly are these scams—and how can you spot one before it's too late? According to cybersecurity experts and brand protection analysts, today's fraudsters aren't just amateurs working from the shadows. They're running slick operations using fake websites, AI-generated visuals, and even trending hashtags to appear credible. Popular, trusted brands—especially airlines, banks, and government agencies—are frequently impersonated. And while the logos and design might look official, what's lurking behind is anything but. Growing fake ad epidemic From false airline giveaways to bogus discounts, here's how cybercriminals are targeting unsuspecting users: Hijacking hashtags: Criminals ride on trending social media tags or brand mentions to give their fake posts a visibility boost. Lookalike domains: or might seem legitimate at a glance, but they redirect users to phishing pages designed to collect sensitive information or banking credentials. Tempting bait: From free flight tickets or discounted tickets to India/Egypt/Dubai to promises of doubling your investment in Kuwaiti dinars—if it sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is. How to protect yourself from fake ads Kuwaiti users don't need to be tech experts to stay safe. Here's what to watch for: Verify the profile: Only engage with verified social media pages with the blue checkmark. If the page has low engagement or was recently created, avoid it altogether. Scrutinise usernames: Fraudsters often use slightly altered usernames—like @Kuwaitairways_off1cial instead of @KuwaitAirways. Always double-check before clicking. Spot poor grammar: Official communications are professionally written. Be wary of posts using sloppy grammar or panic phrases like 'Last chance! Act now! or Limited time only! or Selling out fast! or Ends tonight! or Grab it before it's gone! or Offer expiring soon! or even Unlock this offer!' Hover before clicking: On a computer, hover over a link to preview its real destination. On mobile, use tools like to assess a site's safety. Ignore dream deals: Airline tickets for free or instant returns on financial investments rarely come without strings. Stick to offers announced on official channels. Report and alert: Platforms like Instagram and Facebook allow users to report misleading ads. Always notify the real brand via their website or official contact channels. Kuwaiti officials sound the alarm With summer travel in full swing, the stakes are rising. Kuwait's Ministry of Interior has echoed warnings, urging citizens and expats to avoid falling for fake promotional offers generally found via social platforms unless fully verified. The Ministry of Interior and Kuwait Banks have jointly flagged these fraudulent campaigns as a 'major digital threat,' especially during the holiday season when many are making last-minute travel and financial decisions.

KNPC to build 16 fuel stations in Kuwait
KUWAIT CITY, July 31: Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) has obtained approval to build 16 fuel stations this year, say sources from the oil sector. Sources disclosed that the stations will be located in new residential cities, while some densely populated residential areas will have additional fuel stations. Sources said the company aims to increase its sales of all types of gasoline to at least seven million liters by 2030, considering that its sales exceeded 5.105 million liters of gasoline by the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025; compared to 5.016 million liters in the previous year and around 4.891 million liters in 2023. Sources confirmed that the company is targeting increased revenues from car wash stations, whose revenues declined in fiscal 2024/2025 to KD393,300 compared to KD432,000 in the previous fiscal year. Sources indicated that KNPC is planning to develop its car wash stations to achieve the targeted returns. Sources stated that KNPC will establish new fuel stations in line with environmental cleanliness and international requirements, particularly the strategy of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) to achieve carbon neutrality. Sources added the company intends to implement many initiatives related to its projects and refineries in order to reduce carbon emissions. Moreover, sources confirmed that the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of KNPC Wadha Al-Khatib ensured that around 120 Kuwaiti employees under contractor contracts were treated fairly as their salaries, which exceeded the top of the grade scale, were not affected. Sources said these employees remain entitled to promotions and job placements under the regulations. Sources added that the Kuwaitis employed at Al-Dar Company, which implements service projects for KNPC, will soon receive their end-of-service benefits. Sources also stated that the executive management of KNPC prioritizes nationals, such that it periodically announces job advertisements to increase the percentage of nationals working in the company to compensate for the decline in 2025. They revealed that in the first quarter of this year, the number of Kuwaiti workers reached 5,864; compared to about 6,007 during the same period in 2024. The percentage of national workers in KNPC stands at 92.4 percent, which, sources stressed, is a good percentage. They went on to say that Al-Khatib's recent instructions to the leadership of the company center on the need to increase the national human capital and develop their functional capabilities. They added that KNPC organized many training courses for the national workforce in cooperation with local and international institutions.
