Suspension Of Flights From India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, And Sri Lanka To UAE May Go Beyond December 31
Verification: Edited Gulf News Screenshot is shared with information about the suspension of flights
The fake screenshot of the Gulf News article with the edited date for the suspension of flights from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka to UAE is shared on social media. Recently a fake website of the UAE Embassy In India was blocked after the COVID-19 travel scam. Delhi-based gang extorted money purportedly for ‘special approval’ for India-UAE travel. Be very careful while sharing important files and documents. The fraudsters were using the fake website with a ‘.in’ domain [uaeembassy.in] cloning information — excluding the contact details — on the original website of the UAE Embassy in India that uses a ‘.ae’ domain. They were targeting expatriates seeking special approval to return to the UAE. Fraudsters are asking huge amounts from the people stuck in their trap.
