The rental fraud plaguing Oman's property market
A concerning pattern of corruption has emerged within Oman's rental property sector, with fraudulent practices becoming so commonplace that they risk undermining the integrity of the entire real estate market. What began as isolated incidents has evolved into a systematic problem that exploits tenants, property owners and municipal authorities alike. The scope of the problem is worrying. The rental fraud scheme has infiltrated even established estate agencies across Oman, where some managers choose to look the other way rather than confront the illegal activities occurring under their noses. While these established firms may not officially endorse such practices, their passive tolerance allows the corruption to flourish unchecked. The most vulnerable parties in this web of deception are ordinary tenants seeking housing and property owners trying to rent their assets legitimately. Meanwhile, municipal authorities lose substantial revenue through systematic tax evasion, as perpetrators deliberately avoid the mandatory 3 per cent municipal duty required for new tenancy agreements. Here is how the scam works. The fraudulent scheme operates through a carefully orchestrated deception that exploits legal loopholes and preys on people's desire to save money. Here's how the scam typically unfolds. An individual establishes himself as an estate agent without properly registering his company — a clear violation of Omani commercial law. Operating in this legal grey area, the fraudulent agent targets both tenants and property owners with promises of financial savings. Here is the scammers pitch to the tenant. The fake agent approaches prospective tenants with an attractive proposition: accept a verbal agreement instead of a written tenancy contract and you can enjoy reduced rent. The agent explains that this arrangement allows the property owner to avoid municipal fees and legal documentation costs, savings that can be passed along to the tenant. Simultaneously, the fraudulent agent contacts the property owner with a different story. He claims that the best achievable rental rate is significantly lower than the property's actual market value, positioning himself as the intermediary who can secure the best possible rental income. In a typical example, a property worth RO 525 per month in rent becomes the centre of a three-way deception. The tenant pays RO 500 monthly, believing they're receiving a RO 25 discount. The owner receives only RO 450, thinking this represents the best available market rate. The fraudulent agent pockets the RO 50 difference in rental income while also collecting a 5 per cent commission (RO 25) from the owner, totalling RO 75 in unearned monthly profit. When maintenance issues arise, the fake agent directs tenants to contact the owner directly, absolving himself of any agency management responsibilities while continuing to collect his illicit profits. Unfortunately corruption extends beyond property rentals into employment practices, where similar patterns of deception target expatriate workers. Employers lure foreign workers to Oman with comprehensive contracts promising accommodation, competitive salaries and other benefits. Upon arrival, these workers discover that their promised accommodations have vanished, their salaries have been reduced or their employment terms have been unilaterally modified. This bait-and-switch tactic leaves expatriate workers in particularly vulnerable positions, as they often lack the local knowledge, resources or legal connections necessary to seek redress through Oman's Court system. Despite Oman's deserved reputation for maintaining a well-organised and comprehensive legal framework, these fraudulent operators continue their activities with relative impunity. The gap between the country's robust legal infrastructure and the enforcement of regulations against these small-scale but systematic fraudsters represents a significant challenge to market integrity. The reluctance or inability to bring these cases before the Courts allows the perpetrators to operate without meaningful consequences, emboldening others to adopt similar tactics and perpetuating a cycle of corruption that undermines confidence in Oman's property and employment markets. This widespread fraud creates multiple layers of harm across Omani society. Tenants pay inflated rents while believing they're receiving discounts. Property owners receive below-market rates for their assets while paying unnecessary commissions. Municipal authorities lose tax revenue that should fund public services and infrastructure development. Perhaps most damaging is the erosion of trust in legitimate business practices. When fraudulent operators can function alongside established agencies without significant consequences, it becomes increasingly difficult for honest market participants to compete fairly and for consumers to distinguish between legitimate and fraudulent service providers. Addressing this crisis requires coordinated action from multiple stakeholders. Enhanced enforcement of existing business registration requirements could eliminate unregistered operators from the market. Stronger penalties for rental fraud and employment deception would create meaningful deterrents. Public awareness campaigns could help potential victims recognise and avoid these fraudulent schemes. Most importantly, the legal system's capacity to process these cases efficiently must be strengthened to ensure that Oman's comprehensive legal framework translates into practical justice for fraud victims. The integrity of Oman's property market and its reputation as a reliable destination for international workers depend on swift and decisive action to address these systemic problems. Only through comprehensive reform and vigorous enforcement can the Sultanate of Oman restore confidence in its rental and employment sectors while protecting the interests of all legitimate market participants.

Plea for heightened vigilance as electronic fraud is uncoveredPlea for heightened vigilance as electronic fraud is uncovered
The recent arrest of a female tourist in Muscat, found carrying out a complex electronic fraud operation using advanced transmission and communication devices, has sparked strong reaction on social media platforms. According to authorities, the tourist used these devices, which functioned as miniature transmission stations and placed them in a rented car to steal money from citizens and expatriates by coordinating with international gangs outside Oman. These devices would temporarily disrupt local telecommunications networks and send fake text messages bearing fictitious names of local banks and telecommunications companies containing links that appeared to be trustworthy and official, from which they would steal the victim's banking information and money. The Royal Oman Police, through its tireless efforts to raise public awareness of these attempts, posted a video clip on its website, the X platform and in local media outlets. The footage shows the woman's movements from the moment she entered the country via Muscat International Airport. The footage also included comments from responsible members of the police force who revealed the details of the case and the complex fraudulent operations carried out by the tourist. Footage of the operation revealed that the tourist used advanced equipment to carry out the operation in a manner that demonstrates the precision and high level of professionalism in such operations. The tourist roamed public and side streets, broadcasting fraudulent messages in an attempt to catch her victims. The police statement indicated that she was arrested while she was carrying out electronic fraud operations in cooperation with an organisation specialising in transnational fraud crimes, using complex technical means to broadcast fake messages to surrounding phone numbers. This operation reveals that it is one of the most novel electronic fraud cases the country has witnessed recently. With the aid of these devices, the culprit transformed the rented vehicle into a mobile electronic broadcasting station that disrupted local networks. This enabled her to create a temporary fake network that broadcast deceptive messages to nearby phones, bearing the names of Omani banks and telecommunications companies, along with fake links aimed at stealing users' banking data through the continuous transmission of fraudulent messages. The Royal Oman Police has requested citizens and residents to be cautious and vigilant in the face of such cybercrimes. The general public represent the first line of defence against such criminal activities. We should also become aware of apps which, combined with the abuse of AI applications, can contribute to the growth of financial fraud. Not all technological processes have positive benefits and advantages in their use. Some even harm individuals in their daily lives, as hackers use them to commit fraud and financial extortion, harming numerous individuals and financial institutions. This is something to be wary of in all cases, especially as cyber fraud cases are increasing in the region year after year.
