Dubai is one of the fastest-growing business centres in the world, but unfortunately it is also a place where serious investment fraud is becoming increasingly common. In recent years, thousands of people have fallen victim to criminals operating in the United Arab Emirates. Investment scams, fake companies with "sheikh" in their name, non-existent funds and fraud in the crypto and fuel sectors - these are just some of the methods used by fraudsters in Dubai.
The most common types of fraud in Dubai:
- Cryptocurrency investment scams
Fake projects and platforms that promise a quick return on investment and then vanish without trace once the funds have been paid in. - Schemes involving the fuel and oil trade
Entities posing as reputable oil companies offer non-existent fuel supply contracts. - Phantom investment funds and bonds
Promises of regular payouts and high returns from "guaranteed" financial instruments that never existed. - Fake companies involving a "sheikh" or an Arabic surname
Many of these companies operate only online, often offering "exclusive" investment opportunities to a select few.
