Ajman Police have successfully dismantled a 15-member gang involved in a significant phone scam operation in the UAE. The scammers reportedly impersonated officials to extract sensitive bank information and personal documents from unsuspecting victims.
Using advanced tactics, the gang posed as bank representatives and government officials, earning the trust of individuals before stealing their information. Victims reported receiving calls that requested confidential details under the pretense of “updating bank accounts” or “verifying documents,” which resulted in considerable financial losses.
In response to multiple complaints, Ajman Police acted quickly, initiating a thorough investigation that culminated in the gang’s arrest. Authorities confiscated evidence, including mobile phones, fake IDs, and other tools utilized in the scam. Police have urged the public to stay alert and refrain from sharing personal or financial information over the phone.
This operation underscores Ajman Police’s dedication to combating cybercrime and protecting residents from fraudulent activities. Officials also stressed the importance of reporting suspicious calls and educating the public about the risks associated with phone scams.
