The Ministry of Interior has firmly denied any involvement with fraudulent messages or forged documents circulating in its name that request individuals to disclose financial information. In a recent press release reported by Al-Seyassah daily, the ministry emphasized that it does not solicit bank details through any unofficial communication channels.

Authorities have urged the public to disregard such fraudulent messages and to report any suspicious activity through the officially recognized channels. The ministry also reiterated its commitment to protecting public trust and ensuring cybersecurity, warning that such scams are part of a broader pattern of digital fraud targeting residents.

Government Actions to Curb Digital Fraud

In recent years, the Kuwaiti government has stepped up efforts to combat digital fraud through its Cybercrime Department and inter-agency cooperation. These efforts include public awareness campaigns, stricter regulations, and enhanced surveillance of online criminal activity. This latest alert is part of a continuing campaign to protect citizens and residents from falling victim to deceitful schemes.
