Dubai Police said they took down 103 fraudulent social media accounts during the second quarter of the year as part of efforts to combat online scams and strengthen cybersecurity.
The figures were announced during a quarterly review by the General Department of Criminal Investigation, where senior officials assessed crime trends, operational performance and measures to counter emerging security threats.
According to Dubai Police, the meeting was chaired by Deputy Commander-in-Chief for Criminal Affairs Maj. Gen. Hareb Al Shamsi, who said tackling increasingly sophisticated fraud schemes requires close cooperation between law enforcement, public institutions and the community.
He urged residents not to share personal or banking information with unverified individuals or platforms and to report suspected fraud attempts promptly.
