Machang, meka hari dangerous scam ekak. I also got one email last month saying "Dubai Police" and asking for urgent payment — total yako move. Always check the sender's email address and never click links from unexpected messages. _(In plain English: This is a dangerous scam.

Machang, meka hari ekka issue — Dubai-la email scams patta gahala innawa. I also got one last month saying "DEWA bill overdue" with a dodgy link. Apita kohomada check karanna: always hover over the sender email, never click direct, call the official hotline to confirm. _(In plain English: This is a real issue — email scams are increasing in Dubai. I got one last month pretending to be from DEWA. To check: hover over the sender’s address, don’t click links, and call the official company number to verify.)_
