Police in Makkah arrested an Egyptian man recently. He posted fake advertisements on various social media platforms. These illegal ads falsely promised official permits to enter the Holy Sites.

He also offered fake Hajj services to unsuspecting victims online. Authorities transferred his case directly to the Public Prosecution for legal action.
