What are the common scams to avoid when buying used items in Dubai?

When buying used items in Dubai, it's essential to be aware of common scams to protect yourself. One of the most frequent scams involves sellers asking for a deposit via bank transfer before showing the item. I recommend always meeting in person and inspecting the item before making any payment. Another red flag is listings that appear too good to be true, often with vague descriptions or stock images. In my years here, staying cautious and asking for a video call to verify the item can help avoid potential fraud.
