The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) issued an urgent warning on Saturday 23 May to both international and local visitors regarding a renewed wave of cyber scams that impersonate the museum and target people attempting to book admission tickets. In a statement, the museum’s CEO, Ahmed Ghoneim, said specialized teams are continuously monitoring dozens of fraudulent websites and fake social media pages that lure unsuspecting tourists with promises of “immediate booking” or discounted tickets, with the aim of stealing credit card details and personal data.
