The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) issued a public service announcement on Wednesday, alerting the financial services community and the public about a fraudulent scam promoted by “Skyo Microfinance Bank Limited”.

The scam offered “easy loan approvals in return for a fee to be transferred”.

As part of the scam, Skyo Microfinance Bank Limited requested individuals to transfer a fee to finance an insurance policy against the loan in addition to the administrative fees. It also displayed a false Certificate of Incorporation purportedly issued by the DFSA.
