Dear UAE Residents,
We are issuing an urgent warning to all residents of the UAE about a sophisticated online fraud scheme that is currently targeting unsuspecting individuals. It has come to our attention that a crime syndicate is using our company name, IstiZada, to deceive working individuals in the UAE into parting with their money.
Fraudulent Activity Overview
This fraudulent activity involves the crime syndicate copying our company name, logo, website, and various images and content to trick individuals into thinking they are dealing with IstiZada. These scammers are using WhatsApp and other online platforms to lure victims into performing small tasks with the promise of payment. Once the tasks are completed, victims are asked to deposit money into specific bank accounts for “credit improvement” before they can withdraw their earnings. These deposits are never returned, and the promised payments are never made.
How to Protect Yourself
-Verify Website Authenticity: Always ensure that you are interacting with our official website, istizada.com. Any other website claiming to be IstiZada is fraudulent.
-Be Cautious of Unsolicited Messages: Do not trust messages from unknown individuals or numbers on WhatsApp or other social media platforms that promise quick money for simple tasks. We will never contact you via a +971 number on WhatsApp.
-Avoid All Requests for Money: IstiZada will never ask individuals to deposit money into a bank account for any reason related to task payments or credit improvements. IstiZada only requests money from businesses, not individuals. No one working for IstiZada has ever had to send Istizada money.
Report Suspicious Activity
If you come across any suspicious activity or believe you have been targeted by this scam, please report it immediately to the Dubai Police and contact us directly at [email protected]. We are committed to working with authorities to bring these criminals to justice and prevent further harm.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Jordan Boshers
Istizada Founder & Owner since 2012
