KUWAIT CITY, April 16: Kuwaitis and expats are being warned about scammers posing as Kuwait police officers via WhatsApp video calls. These individuals appear in fake Kuwait Police uniforms and attempt to extract personal information such as Civil ID numbers, bank details, and other sensitive data.

Authorities stress that the Kuwait Police will never contact individuals through video or voice calls to request personal information. All official notifications and violation records are handled securely through the Sahel app. Expats are urged not to respond to such calls and to report any suspicious activity to the proper authorities.
