The Makkah Al-Mukarramah Region Police arrested two residents for publishing fake and misleading Hajj campaign advertisements that featured deceptive information about providing accommodation for pilgrims.
The Directorate of Public Security of Saudi Arabia called on citizens and residents to avoid responding to fake social media advertisements. These may include fraudulent information about services such as "performing Haj on behalf of others, securing and distributing sacrifices for the guests of God, selling Haj bracelets, and providing means of transportation", the authority said in a post on X.
According to a statement by the directorate, 'The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Project For Utilization Of Hady & Adahi' is the official authority for selling and marketing sacrificial animals, ransom and charity bonds for Haj pilgrims.
Purchasing these services and tracking their implementation can be done through official platforms such as adahi.org website, Ehsan platform, or the unified number 920020193.
