Dear Dubai members, my friend was just taken by a dishonest business man in Dubai for nearly $60,000 us dollars. If I provide a cell phone number, name, and passport information. Then, can someone track down his address? Also, if any member has any contacts within Dubai, I would appreciate help. I am willing to pay reward to have info to locate and arrest him!! I'll pay for this information. Email: [email protected] Thanks, Uzy
60k? Plane ticket is around 2k I guess? The best is to fly over and nail the bastard with the help of local authorities?
I agree with Pav. Use the reward money to hire a lawyer in Dubai to represent your friend and file an official case in court. The police will do the rest. Regards
To the two membvers of F-chat who offered to help thank you. This scammer left a 48 year old divorced pennyless. The guy is an Indian National living in Dubai. Thanks, Uzy
Uzy, Just saw this... Pav is right...you have to pursue this locally in UAE... the police will figure if it's not important enough to you to go there, then it's not important enough for them to worry about. If you were not the direct victim, then you will have to have a power of attorney from the victim if you are going to come over, authenticated by the State Department of State for California (if that's the state you are in), and the Federal Department of State in DC, then authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in UAE. The alternative is to contact, through your local office of the FBI, INTERPOL and file a case through them. Don't expect anything quickly... expect the worst and hope for the best and you won't be disappointed. Mike
The way the Middle East works, the fact he is a foreigner rather than a local is a huge positive, I would try and get over there and go to the Police, I'm sure they will follow up on it.
