How to report phone and online fraud in Saudi Arabia
In Saudi Arabia the channel depends on the problem: scam or fake-prize messages, repeated nuisance from one number, or money already lost (start with your bank).
Scam and fake-prize SMS
Forward the message to 330330. It is free for all mobile users, according to the Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST).
Fraud report to Public Security
Report to the regional police or through the Kollona Amn app. For emergencies: 911 in Riyadh, the Eastern Province and Makkah, 999 elsewhere.
Repeated nuisance from one number
The CST “Spam Reports” service, signed in with Nafath, with a screenshot or call log attached. Free for individuals; handled within 30 working days. CST call centre: 19966.
If you lost money
Call your bank straight away to block the card or account, then file the report. Official bank numbers are on Wikinumber’s “Official numbers” page.
Legitimate ad SMS show a sender name ending in “-AD”; most scam messages come from unknown numbers.
Before you report, anywhere
- Delete nothing: screenshot messages and calls so the number, date and time show.
- Save the scammer’s profile or page link (not just the name) and receipts for any money sent.
- If money left your account, call your bank first to block the card or account, then report.
- Don’t pay a blackmailer or keep talking to them, and change your passwords from your own device.
- Look the number up on Wikinumber and write a short note so others are warned.
