Dubai Police have warned the public against fake websites and social media accounts promoting fraudulent packages for the new season of Global Village, as scammers attempt to exploit demand for Season 31 offers to steal money and personal information.

Global Village recently released the VIP Packs for its upcoming season, which will be offered in stages exclusively through the Coca-Cola Arena website. Pre-sales will run from September 21 to 25, allowing guests to purchase their preferred packs in advance for an additional fee, followed by general sales from September 26.

Dubai Police said this type of fraud reappears each year around the announcement of Global Village activities and packages. Fraudsters create or clone websites and social media accounts to closely resemble official pages, misleading users into believing they are dealing with an authorised platform.

Victims may then be directed to complete fraudulent purchases or to provide personal information that can be exploited by scammers.

The force urged residents to buy only through official channels, to beware of deals that look too good to be true, and to avoid sharing card or personal details on unverified sites.
