WhatsApp: Message from the police in Dubai – that’s what’s behind it


  • A bizarre message from a police officer is making the rounds on WhatsApp.
  • You should pay a fine under the pretext of breaking a law.
  • The wave of fraud is spreading in Dubai, but it could easily spill over to us

A really strange message is currently spreading on WhatsApp. It is sent from a profile that, according to the profile picture, belongs to a police officer. This demands a fine from you because you either supported illegal prostitution or got involved with illegal street vendors.

Scam message is circulating in Dubai

According to the Khaleej Times and Reddit, this scam repeatedly traps tourists and residents in Dubai.

Given the strict legal situation there, you could perhaps fall for it. Especially since the message is also sent to your own email address and you are addressed with your correct name in the text.

But if you read the text carefully, you should notice at least one inconsistency.

Habibi are you ready to pay this fine now and close your case.

The fact that a police officer addresses you with the Arabic term of endearment “Habibi,” which translates as “sweetheart” or “darling,” should make it clear to the last person that this is an attempt at fraud.

This scam could easily spill over into Germany

Even if the spelling of the WhatsApp message makes the whole thing seem more like a bad joke than a serious attempt at fraud, it should not be dismissed too easily. For example, numerous people in this country are currently being scammed using the grandchild trick on WhatsApp.

The fact that fraudsters pose as fake police officers here in Germany is by no means something new. They often do it in order to gain access to the homes of people in good faith and rob them under the pretext of preventing theft.

Criminals in this country also pose as fake police officers

Without a doubt, resourceful criminals could use the Dubai scam as a template and send out fines for illegal parking here in Germany, for example. You might think that’s far-fetched, but that’s exactly what happened in Oberhausen, as the consumer advice center reports.

That’s why we advise you to be careful. If you receive such a letter from the police, no matter how credible it looks, it is always worth calling the police and asking. If the letter comes via WhatsApp or email, you should ignore it and block the sender, as the police always only use the postal route.
