A Dubai Resident Speaks Out About The Islamophobia And Riots Happening In The UK

  • Riots ensued across the United Kingdom after the murder of 3 young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport.

  • There were false claims that the attacker (Axel) was a Muslim refugee; a claim that sparked riots and hatred towards the Muslim community.

Several Dubai Residents Shocked By A Threatening Scam Email

  • Quite a few Dubai residents have recognized a scam email that threatens the victim most scarily: the scammer says they’ve installed pegasus on your device and have videos of you in compromising situations.

  • Several websites have recorded these instances explaining why these scams cannot be real. For example, the Pegasus spyware is a high-level software that is only sold to governments. But most rest easy in the knowledge that they’ve never accessed a website like this at all!

  • Authorities always say never to respond. Never pick up the calls if you know it will be a trickster, and certainly don’t respond to the emails. Interacting with these texts, emails, and calls alerts these scammers (who often function in networks) that there is a real person on the other end.
