I just am facing "scam" with DU sim card which I have never signed up and asked to pay AED 3500. If anyone had same/similar issue?
Someone signed up DU post paid card Jun 2014.
According to D...
I am also facing the same type scam with DU SIM , which I never signed up for. I too asked to pay around AED 3500. It seems that someone signed up for a DU postpaid card in June 2017 using my canceled Emirates ID.
That person has incurred charges of around AED 3500 on iTunes, and payments were made from the DU postpaid account and it due to me. In 2019, when I try to purchase a DU prepaid SIM card, I came to know about this scam. The person who fraudulently obtained the SIM card used a fake Etisalat Abu Dhabi-based landline bill as address proof, and I was unaware of this for two years. Du never sent any e-bill or any notification about it to me.
I remember canceling my visa in 2016 when I was working in a company at that time. The PRO did not return my canceled Emirates ID, stating that he did not get it back from where he cancelled it. Later, I learned from DU that the same canceled ID was used to apply for this SIM card in 2017.
I have made several complaints about it to Du, but they don't want to listen to me, they just threatened me saying that if I don't make this payment, they will put it in the Etihad Credit Beauro and it will affect my credit score and all. I still didn't pay this and it is showing in the credit score.
