Muscat – Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) in Oman has issued a serious public advisory, urging consumers to exercise extreme caution and avoid rushing into attractive, yet potentially deceptive, ‘fast offers’ across the marketplace. The Authority stresses the paramount importance of consumer diligence before committing to any property or service.

According to the TRA’s guidance, individuals should first physically verify the existence and details of the property or service being offered. Furthermore, the Authority strongly recommends that all transactions should be conducted exclusively with licensed and fully guaranteed entities to ensure protection and recourse. A crucial step for consumers is to actively seek out and review the opinions and experiences of others regarding the specific offer or provider. Finally, the advisory mandates that consumers should formally request and secure a written contract or an official document before transferring any funds or finalising an agreement. This measure is positioned as vital for safeguarding consumer rights in the face of quick, unverified proposals.
