UAE scam warning: Fake toll and parking messages circulating again

Published

If you’ve received a random message asking you to pay a parking fine, don’t click anything just yet.

Dubai residents are being warned about a new wave of scam messages targeting drivers with fake payment links, and it’s catching people off guard.

According to Parkin, fraudsters are sending texts that look legit, claiming you have outstanding parking payments and urging you to pay immediately.

Here’s the catch
These messages include unverified links designed to steal your personal or financial information.

What the warning says
• Don’t click on unfamiliar links
• Always verify payment requests
• Only use official Parkin channels for payments


Earlier this year, similar scams targeted UAE residents with fake toll messages pretending to be from Abu Dhabi’s DARB system, some even threatening fines to pressure users into paying fast.

In one case, a message claimed a small pending fee, but warned of a Dh100 fine if not paid immediately 

How to spot the scam
Watch out for these red flags:
• Messages from international or unknown numbers
• Generic greetings like “Dear Customer”
• Links that look official, but aren’t
• Urgent threats pushing immediate payment

Authorities, including Ras Al Khaimah Police and the UAE Cybersecurity Council, have repeatedly warned residents not to engage with such messages.

The golden rule
Real toll or parking operators in the UAE don’t ask for payments via random SMS links, and they won’t pressure you with threats.


If it feels suspicious, it probably is. Pause, verify, and protect your information. Because one wrong click could cost you more than just a parking fine.
