Saudi Arabia Warns Residents About Rising Cases of Electronic Fraud and Blackmail

In a recent public safety notice, the Ministry of Interior in Saudi Arabia has issued a stern warning regarding the alarming increase in electronic fraud and blackmail attempts targeting residents. As the Kingdom moves forward in its digital transformation journey, cybercriminals are adopting new methods to exploit unsuspecting individuals.

What Is Happening?

Fraudsters are sending fake messages and making calls pretending to be officials from the Ministry of Interior. Their primary goal? To trick victims into sharing personal or financial information, which is then used for identity theft, financial fraud, or digital blackmail.
