Online property scams typically follow a familiar pattern. Knowing the warning signs can save you a lot of money and stress.
Common red flags
- The "owner" is unavailable to meet or video call, always citing being out of town
- Pressure to pay a deposit or advance before you've seen the property
- Prices significantly below market rate for the area
- Requests for payment via unusual channels instead of standard, traceable methods
How Naya Address helps
Every listing goes through admin review, owners can be KYC-verified, and you can view contact details only after OTP verification — reducing the chances of dealing with a fake profile. Always insist on an in-person or video visit before making any payment.
