Another Rental Scam...WARNING

Nyongs
By Nyongs

I need to expose MALABAR GOLD JEWELLERS so that anybody out there dealing with them as rental agents, know that they are a scam. I fell prey to their scam when i received a notification to evacuate my home despite having paid them upfronty for one year.

Their office either declines to answer my phone calls ,refuses to put me through to the manager or will lie that their manager is out of office/ out of the country.

I have to pay my landlord afresh and risk loss of moneys over 100,000 riyals besides the inconvinience.

Please be warned and any advise on how to handle this is welcome.

I wish to add two points :

1. there are several cases against the owner of Malabar

GOld jewellers. It is heard that he was already in

jail for one week and just realeased.

2. the name may cheat you. He cleverly put the name of

the popular Jewellery in Dubai - MALABAR GOLD

( there is no remote connection between the two

shops------ pls beware of it )

I think they are/were licensed to handle both Gpld and real estate businesses.

They are not honest at all.

The name suggests they are Gold Jewellery merchants and not a real estate agency. How come any one enter into any rental agreements with a party not licenced to do such a business ? If you have any documentary evidence you can seek legal protection.

If you have receipts, and contract and any other document stating they received the miney go to police file a case, then go to court and act accordingly.

Regards!!

PS: never ever ever pay upfront renting...better to talk to the landlord directly.
