Scammers use various tactics by advising individuals to click on links to pay fines or service fees.
The public is advised to be cautious of emails received from Dubai Police and verify them, to avoid falling for phishing emails.
Some methods to avoid falling for scams are by ensuring that the e-mail address is correct, as well as backing up data on all devices and downloading software that prevent phishing e-mails.
