The Consulate General of India in Dubai has warned Indian nationals in the UAE against unauthorised agents offering help with visa regularisation, Emergency Certificates, exit permits, Emirates ID and employment. The consulate said such agents are using these services to scam people and misuse their biometric and personal information.
The advisory said some Indian nationals, particularly blue-collar workers, have been asked by such individuals to provide face scans and fingerprints. The biometric data is then allegedly used to carry out financial transactions, open bank accounts or obtain loans and credit cards without their knowledge or consent.
