Residents are again being warned about a fake 'legal notification' that has been circulating on WhatsApp and other social media platforms.
The notification reads: "Sorry, dear customers your bank account (ATM, debit, credit cards) will freeze due to some security reasons. Verify your correct details. Otherwise, your account will be suspended permanently."
The message has a mobile number which people are urged to call within 24 hours.
The UAE Central Bank and other banks across the country have repeatedly advised their customers not to disclose their account details to anybody so they don't fall victim to scams.
