Amman, August 3 (Petra) – The Jordanian Charity Medicine Bank hosted
an interactive panel discussion titled “Digital Awareness Protects
Against Misleading Ads” on Monday as part of the “Tawk Naja”
(Lifeline) initiative.

Mahmoud Maghaira, head of the Public Security Directorate’s (PSD)
Cybercrime Unit, pointed to digital literacy as the primary defense
against online fraud. He cautioned that scammers increasingly use
fake ads, fraudulent links, and deceptive offers to harvest personal
data and steal money.

Maghaira urged the public to verify ad sources before engaging, avoid
sharing personal or financial details on unverified sites, and report
suspicious content to official authorities.

He added that the Cybercrime Unit continues to prosecute online
scammers while running public awareness campaigns.

Ashraf Al-Kilani, Chairman of the Jordanian Charity Medicine Bank,
stated that the session aligns with the “Tawk Naja” initiative’s goal
of fostering community protection and supporting national
cybersecurity awareness alongside the organization’s core
humanitarian mission.
