The UAE Embassy in India has advised all visitors and clients to access the official website for necessary information. The UAE embassy has put out a tweet advising all its “visitors and clients" to only visit the official website. “Please avoid visiting suspicious sites, @UAEembassyIndia shall not be responsible if any damage occurs," the UAE Embassy tweeted.
