Dubai police have successfully jailed two men involved in a fake hotel floor lease scam that swindled an investor out of Dh210,000. The fraudsters had promised the investor that a hotel floor would be ready within 10 to 20 days. However, when the investor presented the contract to the hotel’s management, it was confirmed that the document was forged.
Following the discovery, authorities promptly arrested the suspects and are actively working to prevent such scams in the future. This incident highlights the growing risks faced by investors in Dubai’s booming real estate market.

The victim’s quick response helped bring the criminals to justice, but the case raises ongoing concerns about similar fraudulent activities targeting investors. The Dubai Police continue to emphasize the importance of vigilance to maintain trust and safety in the rapidly developing real estate market.
