Abu Dhabi Police and the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department have warned residents about a surge in online fraud during Eid Al Adha, a period increasingly exploited by scammers.

Fraudulent schemes have surfaced targeting those seeking Eid-related goods and services, including sacrificial livestock, sheep and cattle sales, and even 'fake banquets'.

These scams typically involve the publication of deceptive promotional advertisements through fake websites and social media platforms, offering various Eid products and services, such as meat, sweets, catering, and event planning.
