There are a number of fake emails and telephone calls that claim to be from Dubai Duty Free advising individuals that they have won one of the Dubai Duty Free promotions to win a luxury car or to win a million dollars. These fake emails use addresses such as Yahoo, AOL, Gmail etc and are being sent by lottery scammers, not by Dubai Duty Free. If you receive such emails or telephone calls, please refrain from sending any personal details, money or respond in any way. Dubai Duty Free encourages all individuals to be aware of potentially fraudulent behaviour by malicious parties.

I checked this on dubai duty free website instead of responding in any way and saw the news on a lot of scammers doing this. Please warn others that they are not only scamming thru email or thru phone calls but also thru other social media apps.

Thanks and regards,
