I have received a Whatsapp message this morning from the number 1 (902) 702-2385 mentioning,
"Dear Customer, congratulations. You are selected for a reward from DU,ETISALAT,EXPO 2020 and DubaI Duty Free.

I am sure this is fake as I checked the said web address and neither the raffle number nor my details are available there.
Please address this.
Thanks,
Sreedevi

Received via email: "I got a call from the following number 971509232457 claiming that the caller is from DDF and I won a lottery of USD500K in their random selection. Then they asked me my bank account details, then I got suspicious and asked whether it's genuine. Immediately caller disconnected the call. I'm sure it's a fake call. Please address it on your end Regards Denny"
