Naya Khery, a content creator, was taken advantage of by a con artist in the Achrafieh area of Beirut, Lebanon, during her recent trip to her home country for the purpose of tourism and to spend time with her family.
Khery stated that she attempted to rent an apartment from a person named "H.G." in conjunction with the property owner, "Sonia." This information was included in the facts of the occurrence, for which she was a witness. For the rent, she paid a total of $4,000. Nevertheless, she was taken aback when both parties refused to hand over the flat to her, citing the nature of her profession as a social media influencer and content creator as the reason for their lack of willingness to do so.

The two parties did not stop there; they refused to refund the money and filed a malicious lawsuit against Naya, falsely accusing her of wanting to use the apartment for illegal reasons. They also refused to return the money. As a result, she faced legal issues that prohibited her from staying in Lebanon.
According to Naya, the cost of leaving Lebanon and settling the implications of this malicious allegation was more than $10,000. This cost included the costs of legal representation and the support of logistical professionals to guarantee that she left the country in a secure manner.
She voiced her profound dismay at the "painful experience she underwent in her home country," describing the event as a psychological shock and a significant financial loss. She also considered the incident to have been in her home country. Additionally, she stated that as a result of the false charges, she is unable to re-enter Lebanon at the present moment. This inability to visit the country is due to the incident.
In his statement, Khery urged the relevant authorities in Lebanon to take action and ensure the accountability of those responsible for this incident. He also emphasized the need to safeguard citizens and visitors from manipulation and fraud, particularly from parties who take advantage of weak legal procedures in situations like these.
