The popularity of Dubai chocolate has inspired fraudsters who seize upon the latest trends and copy certain ecommerce sites as they seek to collect as much money as possible, without delivering a single bar of the sweet treat.

Dubai chocolate is a confectionary from the United Arab Emirates that has a distinct green pistachio cream filling. It has recently gained popularity on social networks, notably on TikTok, where influencers have successfully shared numerous videos of themselves enjoying this unique delicacy. This viral trend has led to high demand around the world, making the product difficult to obtain and prompting some chocolatiers to create their own versions. And it's precisely this covetable quality that has caught the eye of pirates.
