The Dubai Police Are Getting Seriously Strict On Beggars This Ramadan

Avatar

Unfortunately, Ramadan always sees a sudden surge of scammers in the region. This year, the authorities are pulling together their resources in order to get tough on people who pose as beggars for money. Last year alone, Dubai Police revealed that, of a total 1,021 arrests, more than half were caught during the month of Ramadan. 

Stay aware of tricks

Non-needy beggars often fake ailments, as well as doctors notes and prescriptions in order to retrieve money from citizens. If you have any suspicions, contact the Dubai Police Al Ameen service on 901. Genuine people in need will be directed to registered charities in order to get the help they need, whilst scam artists will face deportation.
