Dubizzle Middle East
Reviews and Complaints

I had applied for a job which was posted in Airlines/Aviation sector as Team Manager.I got the message from a number asking about my figure measurements.I didn't find it appropriate as company name /identity was not given.After few days I got message again on what's app from a different number .The person who contacted advised her name as Fatma and gender as Female.Again she asked the same thing and told it's just our process to know if the candidate is suitable for this post or not as it's related to aviation.She told me that online interview will be conducted with Director of the company .During online interview the person on the other line did not show his face and didn't speak staying that he is engaged in conducting several interviews.This seemed to me as inappropriate.He even wrote wrong comments during this chat after which I cancelled video call .It is a complete fake job posting and these people might harm any woman who will not realise on time what are the intentions of such people.

I've publish the advertisement for my business sale with the payment of 399aed for 15 days of publication by my Dunia Credit Card. The amount has been deducted from my account and I got the confirmation of my live ad. After 5mints it has been deleted from the site automatically. Dubizzle took the charges of 399aed.without publishing my ad. This is really a big fraud from such a big and popular promotional website.
I need the clarification with immediate effect also the return of the amount which has been deducted from my Dubai Credit Card for ad posting payment .

Warning to anyone using dubizzle! do not! it is the worst constructed website ever made for selling your second hand goods! i spent two hours posting ads selling my items as i am moving and need to get rid of them only for dubizzle to remove all my ads because it was flagged as spam? after filing a complaint they assured me it was a mistake and wouldn't happen again. They unblocked my account and told me to re-post the ads. I did so only to find 24 hours later the exact same thing happened! i don't know what kind of idiotic monkeys are working behind the computers at dubizzle but they need to really get their [censored] together! in fact the entire website is a complete waste of time! their in-built so called messaging chat is so stupid and poorly constructed. Their android and iphone app doesn't work for [censored] either. Here's a suggestion, close your stupid company down because someone is going to come along and kill you in the market with the way your stupid company/website works!

This would require a more detailed discussion, but in summary:

- Dubizzle no longer delivers the service it states and appears to support primarily trader buyers

- For over a year, confirmed phishing/fraud buyers continue to operate without fear of reprisal despite a number of reports exposing their activities

- Paid subscription to "increase visibility" of sale posts do not actually translate into higher profiles (tested via third parties)

- Fraud and fraudulent sales appetite to be on the increase with numerous complaints recorded in the public domain and among contacts

- Customer Service impossible to reach and when finally through, stonewall requests to speak to a supervisor. Concerns remain unresolved

Sad to see such a wonderful franchise become corrupted, would like to help protect unsuspecting members.

Thanks and regards

I would like to report a seller

As part of the sale during negotiations the seller sent some hurtful messages and claimed someone else took his phone and sent those .

User name : syed fawad faizi

Here are his messages :
"yea so i wont sell for even 200 lol when i hardly use it
not interested in selling to a cheapass like you please go spend 600😂 which im sure you wont .hahah good luck"

If the seller thinks the price a buyer quoted Is low he should just deny the offer . People would not use dubbizle if such sellers are taken lightly .

Kindly take action against the seller .

I purchased iphones 8 plus from one of the seller. We met at midnight. The phone was ok box emei number serial number and warranty. But when i came home and put the charger the iphone started again showing android. I wasted 1800 aed. So guys please be aware while dealing from dubizzle.

If dubizzle can track the ip address of the posted ad i would much appreciate. The ad was posted on 21st July, 2018. And phone number of that fraudsters was
+[protected].

I have seen Advertisement in Dubizzle for British Shorthair Kitten for Free Adoption in Abudhabi the contact No What's up given was [protected] than I contacted and she took Amount AED 442.00 and cheated.

Then one more add for pets I contacted No. [protected] she also asked for Transportation Money I refused but today again she contacted saying in Dubizzle I have given your no and you will get Verificate Code and from Dubizzle I am getting the Verification Code. I don't understand what type of cheating is this.

I put an advtz in dubizzle just 30 min back & now my advrtz is vanished & i got a mail saying - your ad is deleted due to x, y reasons.

Why dubizzle has to charge 1st & then automatically deleted the entire advtz.? & then no one to answer as their customer service - no one picks up.

Customer service of dubizzle is very bad - no one picks up, only automated answers comes & then gets disconnected.

Please sort the matter out.

My ad was - upscale beauty salon for sale

Good morning
I would like to complain about a fake employer pretending to be Mr Tim Clark from Emirates airlines.
His mobile number is +971 [protected]
I applied few days ago in dubbizle app for cabin crew with Emirates airlines.
I received an email that I am shortlisted and they want interview me
I gave my WhatsApp number and Skype ID.
The person was sending me messages on WhatsApp and today I had an interview.
I wasn't able to see his face.
And I think he is Hindi or Bangladesh because of the accent.
The person asked me to show my arms and feets and legs to take pictures and send back to the airline company to see if I correspond to the standards.
Here attached screenshot photos from all the conversations.
I realized that the person is liying because he said it's evening time and when I searched on Google I saw that it's morning time in USA.
After I sent him a message telling him I will report him he sent me an email with pictures he took from the video call and harassing me that he will use my pictures and put on YouTube and naked female body in magazine.
You have to do the necessary with this person as I am not in Dubai.
This person is doing this with many girls for sure.
And also it's not good for your image and Emirates airlines reputation.

I have been posting an advertisement of my leather sofa, italian made.
It is always getting rejected.
Normally I live in Abu dhabi and place ads for Abu Dhabi. However i do have a house in Dubai as well and want to sell few things to Dubai audience. Please let me know if the issue is about the city and how I can resolve.

Kindly help me place the advert

Also I am posting the ad in furniture category under sofas and futons

I paid dubizzle to featured my ad (same ad was there on dubizzle for almost 4 days before featuring), but when they featured my ad, within 4 hours they remove my ad and send me mail showing reasons which you can find in attached screen shot. I write mail twice on 5th/6th June 2018 for explanation but till now after 5 days passes haven't get any respond, which is truly disgusting. this behavior of you to me is not appreciated and highly condemnable. hope to hear from you soon.
please find my details as below in case you feel to contact me.

Last february 12, 2018 I made a deal to buy nikon d7100 model to this seller ([protected]), so we meet up around 7pm at palm deira metro station to complete our deal. But the following day I notice that it is different unit as we agreed by the seller. He trick me with the original box of nikon d7100 but he give me wrong model nikon d7000 which is not our deal is, I send him message and picture of unit telling that he give me the wrong model and he said maybe he made mistake because he has also another camera body, so I told him to replace the unit or return my money because this is not deal we agreed.

Seller was didn't go as agreed upon, went all the way to he's home when the deal struck and was agree upon. However change he's mind because he's friend said he will buy it. A [censor] seller and word is trash. I was there and ready to take exchange payment when he's [censor] ask friend stop the deal and say he want it and ask me to wait before taking the item. Then he call the seller and say he wants to take it the damn stupid [censor] as friend tell me to sorry and say he will pay for my transpo. I swear if this wasn't Dubai I would have beat the hell out of then and be happy about it [censor] seller and website.

Dubizzle is a scam.
They keep my money I spent on ads, that's never been posted.
No reason for that. It's was unique, contained no abusive language or swearing, consisted of needed number of letters and was pretty informative. I have never posted anything on this website hence my reputation is not ruined by anything, my ip is clear too.
Sooooo what's the problem? And why is it so hard to get my money back? It irritates me the most. I paid not because I wanted to give them a present, I wanted to get service! Refund as soon as positive or I will report to the authorities. I'm not joking.

As my first time using Dubizzle to give things away instead of throw them in the waste bin, I posted few folders for free.

Suddendly, I got 3 people interested, however, not for the folders.
All of them, asking me for my pictures of myself and still insisting after saying no, asking for nationality and etcetera. I felt humilliated, It is not a dating website and I am even thinking of creating a fake male profile If that is the only solution. At the end, none of them showed up to pick the things that I really wanted to give away, wasting my precious time.

My question is, Is there any option on the web or way of giving them bad reviews so they can be banned or at least, being known their behaviour for other people in the future?

Thanks,

I have purchased used washing machine and fridge from dubizzle. The seller told me that it is good working condition and I booked these two items. After that he told me that if any complaints he will change the product. I got this items yesterday afternoon. But the delivery man said he doesn't have time for waiting while we check the product, so he told to give the money and he said you have the number so you can call if any problems you find. But the washing machines are not working we are tried to call the owner and the driver after the checking, the phones are not reachable and also no reply for the whatsapp messages.

We have whatsapp chat history messages as a evidence and also two mobile numbers.

There was an advertising placed today for puppies on adoption. When I what app this person asked me money to transfer to another country with other name. The guy kept on chatting send me pictures. He told me his name is Husain & doin a deal for sm1 else.
I urge all the readers to be careful. When I googled Abt this I came to know it's scam.
U send money & no dog nothing .

I have paid for 3 items today. Dining table, sofa and computer table. Infact I was trying to add another sofa and by mistake computer table appeared. Can you please change the computer table to another sofa? Do I have to pay separately for each items? Please advise. Please change the paid advt of the computer table to sofa or cooking range.
