The organizing committee of the exhibition "EXPO 2020", which will be held in Dubai, has disowned telephone lotteries with large cash prizes.
Dubai, UAE. The organizing committee of the world exhibition "EXPO 2020" warned all residents of the UAE that it has nothing to do with phone lotteries, which supposedly promise great cash prizes.
It is worth explaining that recently ostensibly more often messages have been received on UAE residents’s mobile phones allegedly on behalf of the EXPO-2020 organizing committee: if earlier scammers sent SMS with a notification of winning large cash prizes, now they are not shy and are doing mass mailing in the messenger Whatsapp
In addition, users of du and Etisalat mobile numbers repeatedly received calls allegedly from telephone operators who asked them to remove the SIM card and provide its number. Fraudsters also reported that in order to receive a prize it is necessary to transfer a deposit.
The organizing committee of the exhibition asks to report all suspicious activity to [email protected]. They also noted that at present they do not hold any lotteries and prize draws. Information on all campaigns can be found on the official website of the exhibition.
