Authorities have issued an important warning to the public about fake SMS messages pretending to be from “eGovBahrain” or “eKey”. These fraudulent messages often ask recipients to click on suspicious links or provide personal information.

People are urged not to respond, click on any links, or share sensitive details—especially if they haven't recently used any government eService.

Officials clarified that real messages from eGovBahrain or eKey are only sent to notify users about eService updates or login activity, and will never include information about refunds or financial transactions.

This alert comes as part of ongoing efforts to protect citizens and residents from online scams. The public is reminded to always verify the source of any message and to contact official channels if in doubt.
