Report it in 3 steps

How recovery works
Call your bank’s fraud line first to freeze the transfer and the receiving account, then file the police report. UAE Central Bank consumer-protection rules require banks to handle fraud complaints, and fast reporting gives the best chance of clawing funds back before they leave the country.

- The scammer’s number, profile, website or IBAN
- Screenshots of messages and payment pages, and your Emirates ID
