What scams should I watch out for when buying property in Dubai?

Classic red flags: pressure to pay within 24-48 hours, payment requested to a personal account instead of escrow or a DLD trustee, prices well below market, listings only on WhatsApp or social media with no Trakheesi permit, and 'send the documents after the deposit'. Never transfer money before verifying the title deed, the agent and the listing through official DLD channels.
