Recently, Dubai land authorities cracked down on misleading listings and gave real estate agents an ultimatum to remove all properties unavailable for sale or rent from their digital platforms. The Dubai Land Department gave agents a three-day deadline to remove property advertisements that are no longer up for sale or rental.
Property listing websites were asked to integrate their systems with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) website to ensure that all the listings are valid and there are no fake ones.
Abu Dhabi Police also warned job seekers about 'fake hiring' schemes. Scammers hold formal events and create fake online company pages, posing as authorised recruitment agencies to fool people. They demand fees for these fake jobs, leaving applicants defrauded.
Authorities urged residents to report suspicious calls from anonymous individuals or any form of fraud by going to the nearest police station or contacting the security service at 8002626. People can also text 2828 to help the police combat these fraudulent activities and protect society.
