Fez – Moroccan content creator Dounia Bomba shared an emotional video saying she was scammed and that “my account today is completely dry because somebody stole everything that was in it.” Posting to her Instagram account, @DouniaBomba, she said she has opened two cases in Dubai and urged followers to slow down, verify, and protect themselves.
In the clip, Bomba explains that the ordeal began after “a company took my money… and I asked for a refund,” but said she received no response for two months. She said she then contacted what she described as consumer-protection services in Dubai and “opened two cases for the same problem.”
Bomba says the situation escalated during a screen-sharing session in which the scammers could see her incoming codes and messages. “Some payments went through, some payments they didn’t get to extract them,” she said. “In all of this, keep in mind that the screen is open so they can see the OTPs. They can see my messages to the bank.”
She adds that the person on the other end “asked me to open my bank application and to add a beneficiary… and he asked me to call it refund and a code number.” She says she followed those instructions but the “beneficiary did not want to be activated on my account,” noting that banks issue warnings when customers call about such changes.
The creator became visibly upset recounting the moment she realized the money was gone. “All of the hard work that I did for all these months, years, and everything got completely lost and it’s completely evaporated,” she said. “Don’t ever cry for money. I’m crying for the situation.” She added: “We make money—money doesn’t make us… Now I have to restart my life from zero, which I have no problem in doing… I already did once and I can do it again.”
Summing up the shock, Bomba warned that a “single button can cancel all of your life projects, all of your ambitions, dreams, and everything.” Her message throughout the video is to stay vigilant: pause, ask questions, and avoid acting under pressure—especially when someone asks for screen access, one-time passwords, or new beneficiaries.
Bomba said she would keep the focus on the legal process: “I opened two cases… because they were not being very responsive, which I understand.” She did not name the company or individuals involved, but said her goal in speaking out was to help others avoid the same experience.
