The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) has issued a notice for UAE citizens and students residing in the US.

The MoFA called on them to beware of fraudulent messages that appear to be sent from UAE’s diplomatic mission abroad.

Citizens and students have been asked not to respond to any requests by phone or e-mail for financial transfers by any of the UAE missions abroad or their employees (e.g. requests for financial transfers to pay for admission to universities, or advance payments to obtain a scholarship).
