Dubai Police issue warning about increasing number of counterfeit Global Village online platforms
In the bustling city of Dubai, several noteworthy events have taken place recently. Let's delve into some of the key happenings.
Firstly, a word of caution for those planning to visit the Global Village this season. The Coca-Cola Arena website and the mobile application are the sole legitimate channels for purchasing VIP packs for Season 30. Dubai Police have issued a warning about fraudulent websites and links claiming to sell Global Village VIP packs at discounted rates. Approved outlets, as authorised by Global Village, are the only places where you can purchase tickets and packages.
Unfortunately, scams resurface each year, exploiting demand for Global Village tickets. These scams create fake websites that mimic official pages to trick buyers into sharing money and personal data. If you come across any such suspicious offers or fraudulent links, it is advisable to report them through the e-Crime platform or by calling 901. Dubai Police are involved in combating cybercrime and are determined to ensure the safety of its residents.
In other news, Dubai Police have also dismantled a gang running a fake trading scheme. The city has also taken steps to deal with abandoned vehicles, impounding 1,387 abandoned vehicles and issuing 6,187 warnings in the first half of 2025.
Meanwhile, in the realm of international relations, Saudi Crown Prince and the Pakistani PM have signed a joint defense agreement. This development is expected to strengthen the strategic ties between the two nations.
On a lighter note, the Global Village VIP pack launch dates for Season 30 have been announced. To add to the excitement, a prize of Dh30,000 will be given to one buyer during the launch of Season 30 VIP packs.
Lastly, Illinois has introduced a new benefit for senior drivers. Details about this initiative are yet to be disclosed, but it's a positive step towards recognising the contributions of seniors in society.
As for online shopping, a growing trend in tools and platforms is being observed. However, it's essential to remain vigilant and ensure that you're shopping from legitimate sources, especially during this holiday season.
For those considering Amazon Prime, it's worth noting that some shoppers are canceling their memberships due to a clever hack. It's always a good idea to stay informed about such developments to protect your online shopping experience.
