Fraud Warning
Attention Property Seekers:
To ensure the safety and legitimacy of your property transactions, please be aware of potential fraud indicators and follow the recommended precautions.
Fraud Indicators:
- Impersonation of Licensed Property Agents: Fraudsters often pretend to be licensed property agents and will avoid meeting you in person.
- No Physical Business Location: Be cautious if the agent does not have a physical place of business.
- Forged Documents: Fraudsters may forge official documents to make fraudulent transactions appear legitimate.
- Requests for Personal Bank Transfers: Be wary if the agent requests money transfers to personal bank accounts instead of using the official government portal, Ejar.sa.
Use of Ejar.sa:
Ejar.sa is the only official portal for documenting rental contracts and conducting financial transactions related to property rentals. This platform ensures transparency and security by requiring user confirmation before committing to any rental contract. All agreed rent amounts should be transferred through Ejar.sa, not to personal bank accounts.
Recommendation to Seek Licensed Property Agents:
If you require assistance navigating Ejar.sa or have any doubts about the legitimacy of an agent, seek help from a licensed property agent. Licensed agents can provide guidance and ensure that your transactions are safe and compliant with the law.
Stay vigilant and protect yourself from fraud. Always verify the identity of the person you are dealing with and prefer face-to-face interactions before proceeding with any financial transaction.
