Have you received messages claiming to be from DARB?

from The Agenda · host Dubai Eye 103.8

We’ve had multiple messages from listeners alerting us to what appears to be a new scam targeting drivers right here in the UAE and it all centres around DARB, the Abu Dhabi toll system. We ask cybersecurity expert Amir Kolahzadeh how you can tell the difference between a real notification and a fake one and how are scammers even getting your number in the first place? There's been a surge in civil marriages and wills registered at the Abu Dhabi Civil Family Court, marking a remarkable jump in demand for services introduced under the UAE’s non-Muslim personal status law. Family lawyer Byron James shares more details. Earlier this week, the Dubai Land Department and the Higher Colleges of Technology launched a new Real Estate Diploma Programme, a major initiative aimed at empowering Emiratis to play a bigger role in this critical industry. How significant is this move for Emiratis planning to move to the real estate industry? More than 170,000 creators submitted proposals to take part on the UAE and Mr. Beast's "One Billion Acts of Kindness" campaign, and just 10 were selected. And one of them is joining us on the show today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
