Dubai authorities have jailed three Asian men for six months each in a mobile signal hijacking scam in Dubai Marina. The criminals used special devices to jam real mobile signals and made phones connect to a fake network. They then sent fake SMS messages pretending to be from banks with malicious links. These links stole personal and financial details, allowing the scammers to steal money. Dubai Criminal Court records showed the men imported and used jamming equipment, signal receivers, and computers inside a vehicle. Forensic police found this vehicle near Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah. The suspects denied guilt, claiming they were paid just to drive or install the devices. But prosecutors presented strong digital proof, and the court rejected these claims. The judges ordered all equipment seized and ruled the men will be deported after serving their sentences. Police said others involved are still at large, suggesting a larger network. This method of fraud, creating fake mobile networks by signal jamming, is a new cybercrime threat. It can bypass usual security systems unlike normal phishing scams. A similar case happened in 2024 in Dubai, involving fake networks sending phishing SMS to install malware. Dubai Police warned people to avoid suspicious messages from banks or government agencies, even if they look real. Cybercrime is rising in the UAE despite strong enforcement. Millions of cyberattacks are blocked yearly, but scams like phishing, smishing, and hacking remain high. Authorities urge people to be careful with unknown messages and use only official channels for sensitive communication. Experts advise UAE residents and visitors not to click links in unsolicited texts, verify sender numbers, enable two-factor authentication, and report suspicious messages to police. These steps reduce risks from signal hijacking and digital fraud. The 2026 convictions show Dubai’s crackdown on new cyber threats targeting residents' safety and money. Authorities continue strong policing, legal action, and awareness efforts to fight high-tech fraud in the region.
