In the face of increasing online frauds in Dubai, one of the major tourist cities of the world, Dubai Police has come up with defensive mobile apps. Although the authorities are constantly warning people about online scams, the complaints received by the police show that the scams are increasing day by day. The police have also realized that there are many incidents that go unreported. In this situation, various types of mobile apps have been introduced as part of making people more aware.
Four types of apps
The old system of reporting fraud online to police phone numbers is still in place. Apart from this four mobile apps are working for this purpose. They have an easy complaint mechanism.
