Winning Etisalat Lottery !

February28

Who doesn’t Like to win a lottery ?  Everyone does ! But sometimes greed is a bad thing and reality is just too good to be true.  I recently got a call from some unknown number speaking in ‘Urdu’ and telling me that I had won some lottery for 50k AED  courtesy etisalat.

But I was fortunate enough of hearing such scam cases before.  They get calls from such people claiming they have won a lottery and then they ask them to send them 1000 AED worth of etisalat credit as Processing charges and then disappear. Few of my folks were stupid enough  to transfer such big amount to them.

My response when they said I won the lottery was simple . ” Wow , so good, do one thing keep the prize to your self ” . Nice ye ?

    Happened with me. I didn’t understand a word, so I asked him to speak either Arabic or English. Then when I realized what he was telling me, I told him I would call the police. Not surprised, he hung up. Not very fond of Dubai police, I decided to leave the scammer alone.

I received sms from etisalat, I called him back to give the code and he passed me to the name of Mohd. Abdulrahman asking me to go outside and pay 1500aed for him to give my acoount to dubai islamic bank he opened. I said to him that I have only 200aed, and still insisting me to go to nearest supermarket to send the 200aed. I tolfd him im at work and cannot go out, after that he said to me enjoy myslef and he cut the line.

    I only just received a call today and i was stupid enough to believe it. I got the call from this number; +971502864677, they claimed to be from Etisalat’s financial center, they knew my name and my email address. As well as that, they asked for my emirates ID which i stupidly gave to them as i believed they were actually from Etisalat. My greed and stupidity made me lose AED 2200.
    Guys, please be careful and dont believe anything, always ask them for proof and don’t fall for what they say even if they did send you a text from etisalat.

    Today I got a call a number saying that he is the head office of etisalath and he is called me to tell that I have won 500,000 DHS. I had a doubt but I still was very exited to buy a brand new TV and stuff. I still had a doubt, I gave him a call and he was like “hello” usually when we call etisalath they tell thier name and tell us how may they help us. Then I told him “is this a scam ?” He told yes. I asked him why are you doing this he said “for money” and hangup the phone. Please be care full to whom you are speaking with……

    I’ve also faced this type of spam right now from the number 0566218674. I think this is a kind of cyber crime and Etisalat should take action against them.

    Sept. 3, 2015

    On 3rd September I received a call from this number +971567739147 and +971567739092 and asked if the number at the back of my Sim card 8997 1122 or check in setting general about and go to ICCID then I check and told him confirmed and then he told me that I won AED 500,000 in Etisalat Promotion Lottery. after he told me Etisalat will not pay the transfer fee from western union so he asked me to send AED 2500 and he asked me also to pay 1500 dollar for processing the document and on the 2nd day he ask $ 2300 dollar for the tax approval. On the 2nd day he asked me again to send 1000 dollar because I won another lottery of AED 100,000 dirhams and he told me to wait at Western Union and once they receive the money he send me the MTCN number of Western Union. Two days I waited but he did not call me back. On the 3rd day he called me and said there was a delay so he ask me again another $ 720 dollar. Because of big amount worth AED 600,000 I gave all what he asked. I was been fooled by this people until I search this ContactUs@Etisalat4me.ae. at Internet and I found that I am not the only one.
