Dubai: Dubai-primarily based former Bollywood actress Ruchika Panday blinked in exasperation because the cashier at Godrej Nature’s Basket Grocery store in Mumbai again her debit card bringing up insufficient price range.
Surely this couldn’t be proper, Ruchika said to herself. Just days returned, she had offered her Dubai condominium and deposited around Dh800,000 from the proceeds into her UAE bank account.
In the mistaken perception that the transaction had been declined because of a defective card reader, Ruchika paid the store in cash and forgot approximately the incident.

It changed into the start of a downward spiral in the existence of Pandey, who starred contrary Akshay Kumar in Mr Bond and Asif Sheikh in Yarra Dildara in the 90s.
Unknown to her, someone had convinced her cell operator to problem him a replacement SIM card which becomes then used to empty her financial institution account. The cyber-thief left just a little over Dh50 in her account.
Pandey isn’t always the handiest sufferer of the insidious SIM swap rip-off – (see the field) – which has left a trail of devastated lives across the UAE.
A Russian expat misplaced Dh13.Four million, an Italian Dh24,000, a Moroccan Dh9 million, a Dubai businessman Dh1 million and yet some other victim approximately Dh800,000. The listing is long.
In maximum cases, by the point the victims ought to wise as much as the scam, the criminals had fled the usa.
An impressive 3.Seventy two million UAE consumers lost approximately Dh3.86 billion ($1.05 billion) to cybercrime in 2017, in line with US-based security software program giant Norton by Symantec. That’s more than half of the UAE’s adult population. In Dubai on my own, of the 1, four hundred ordinary cybercrimes recorded in the beyond three years, as many as 711 were associated with the hacking of financial institution debts. But uncooked figures cannot paint the horror identity robbery crimes depart of their wake.

Ask Dubai-based Mahammadali Kowtalam. The 36-yr-antique Indian expat is residing a nightmare in view that coming across that as many as 184 Sim cards had been issued in his name with out his understanding.
“I am a victim of identification theft. I did no longer swipe my Emirates ID anywhere. Instead, its photocopies had been used to issue 92 SIM cards every from the two UAE-primarily based telecom operators. What might I ever do with so many SIMs? The signature at the subscription forms are not mine and, nor for that count, the email deal with, touch numbers submitted along. I’ve knocked at various doorways for justice Now I’ve debt collectors knocking at my doors as there are exceptional payments on a number of these cellphone numbers. I am slightly able to sleep or consciousness on my paintings,” Kovalam advised Gulf News.
A similar ploy becomes used to achieve 25 SIM playing cards within the names of Pakistani expat Mirza Mohammad Azeem Mirza and four inside the call of Filipino Benrolin Morilla Lagarde.
Like Kowtalam, they may also be struggling with mental soreness after being threatened with capacity law fits over nearly Dh15,000 worth of unpaid bills.
“I misplaced my Emirates ID and got a new one issued but my lost ID keeps to hang-out me. It’s obvious a person used it to subscribe to 25 GSM postpaid and pay as you go cellphone numbers because the signatures on the paperwork aren’t mine and the documents attached with it are faux,” said Mirza who has been dwelling in the UAE in view that 1973.

Financially and emotionally wrecked, Ruchika, in the meantime, is struggling to make ends meet and present process mental remedy at Rashid Hospital.
“My life has been becoming upside down overnight. I am broke and ought to borrow cash from family and pals to survive. The money stolen from my financial institution is all I had. I don’t understand how long I can manage like this. My commercial enterprise is in ruins. I am shattered,” she said, choking between tears.
Another identity robbery victim, Pakistani motive force Zair Mohammad, 37, is no much less traumatised. His Emirates ID become used to lease a Mercedes SUV from an automobile condo firm which has filed case towards Zair for defaulting on price. Long after Zair left the UAE, he obtained the second one shock. As it turns out, a duplicate of his Emirates ID became used once more – this time to borrow Dh27,000 from a moneylender while he turned into nonetheless in Pakistan. “I am a bad guy with little resources. I don’t know what to do,” he said.
Instances additionally abound where citizens have become victims of ID theft after handing out their identification files to people they accept as true with.
A case in point is that of an Indian maid Pratibha Prakash Rao, 57, who was left aghast after locating that she’s the owner of an agency she hadn’t even heard of. She had given her passport to her company to cancel her visa. But rather, he got it stamped with a residency visa displaying her as an associate in a Dubai primarily based firm. As a result, Pratibha remained caught in the UAE until a Dubai-primarily based regulation company bailed her out.
