Doha, Qatar – The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has issued an urgent warning about a growing trend of fraudulent property rental advertisements appearing online. These scams primarily entice individuals with suspiciously low-priced offers on residential properties and recreational facilities.
The MoI emphasizes the importance of exercising caution and conducting thorough due diligence when encountering any unusually low-priced listings. Scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it crucial for potential renters to verify the legitimacy of rental offers before making any transactions.
To combat these scams, the MoI has established several reporting channels. Residents can report suspicious online activities via the Metrash app or by emailing the Economic and Cyber Crimes Combating Department at cccc@moi.gov.qa.
By being vigilant and sharing this information, the community can work together to avoid falling victim to property rental fraud.
