For your security, do not send money or share financial or personal information to a seller on the internet. Do transactions in person. When conducting a property transaction, make sure you are dealing with a landlord or a registered agent. In Dubai, you can check with the Dubai Lands Department if an agent is verified by the Real Estate Regulatory Authority. To spot job scams, do some research on the company, check scam lists, be wary of offers without interviews and never part with your money to get an interview.
