Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) on Wednesday issued a warning to all investors, citizens, and residents in Qatar regarding the risks of engaging in any investment activities, signing contracts, or transferring funds to companies or entities claiming to offer investment opportunities without first verifying their legal status and commercial registrations.

The Ministry clarified that any unlicensed party is not legally authorized to carry out fundraising activities or provide investment services to the public, and that engaging with such entities exposes investors to significant legal and financial risks.
