Public parking solutions provider Parkin has urged residents to remain vigilant against online scams and take steps to protect their digital identity.
In a recent advisory, the company warned users not to share personal information through suspicious messages or phone calls. Officials stressed that legitimate organisations will never ask customers to log in to their accounts or disclose confidential details through unsolicited communications.
The warning comes amid a rise in cyber fraud attempts targeting residents across the UAE.
Do not share sensitive information
Parkin advised residents to avoid responding to requests for personal details, passwords, or verification codes, especially when they come from unknown or unverified sources. Fraudsters often pose as representatives of official services in an attempt to gain access to accounts.
Residents are encouraged to verify the authenticity of any message or call before taking action.
Verify sources and report suspicious activity
The company also urged the public to check the official source of communications and report any suspicious activity through legitimate channels.
Authorities in the UAE have repeatedly warned residents about online scams, fake calls and phishing messages, which attempt to trick people into sharing sensitive information.
Cybersecurity experts recommend staying cautious and avoiding links or login requests sent through unfamiliar messages.
Residents who receive suspicious communications should ignore the request and report it to the relevant authorities.
