The Ministry of Interior (MoI) warned of suspicious messages through social networking that promote narcotic drugs.
In a statement, the ministry said that it has recently noticed that some UAE residents have been receiving random calls on their personal phones and messages via WhatsApp. “These contacts from foreign countries include messages from Pakistan that carry pictures of narcotic drugs, and ask for money transfers in order to receive them,” it added.
The ministry urged the public not to respond to those messages or reply them, adding that relevant authorities should be informed immediately about such suspicious messages.
