Ras Al Khaimah: Consumers have been warned by Ras Al Khaimah Police of fake websites offering attractive discounts on fast food.

As customers make online payments on these malicious websites through their debit or credit cards, the details of their card accounts are later used to withdraw funds from the customers’ card accounts.

Ras Al Khaimah Police have warned members of the community to be cautious when visiting such websites and advised them to first ascertain the physical location of the stores before entering their card or account details online. Ras Al Khaimah Police said: “Be careful and don’t lose your money by ordering a meal from a fake website.”
