Police warn citizens and expatriates about fake ads

Dubai Police have warned citizens and expatriates about the fake advertisements on employment and humanitarian aid being circulated by the smart devices. They added in a statement that the messenger BBM used by the BlackBerry subscribers and other smart devices, have been manipulated to circulate the fake ads about jobs in some departments, public agencies or private companies, or provision of humanitarian aid to needy. The Police added the advertisers do not even refer to official source of the ads. The Police Al Ameen Service warns that mischievous people use personal e-mail to receive applications and CVs from applicants, but the main purpose behind this conduct is to identify the girls and exploit their needs for any job or humanitarian aid. Hence, the Al Ameen service warns the public not to disclose their personal files and CVs to phoney advertisers, urging them to apply directly to the public institutions or private companies or head directly to the office of charity organisation in case of humanitarian issue whether donation or request for humanitarian assistance.
