It will also launch awareness campaigns to educate the public about negative social behaviors and offer advice on how to handle them.

Earlier, Salik, an electronic toll road system in Dubai, issued a warning regarding the spread of fake messages asking UAE residents to pay a “vehicle trip fee.”

In a tweet, Salik urged residents not to share personal or financial credentials with any unknown party to avoid getting scammed or losing their money.
Salik sends official payment messages under the name ‘SALIK’ rather than a number. This ensures that the message is legitimate and is from the actual company. People can also use the Smart Salik app to make payments in a secure way.
