Q: What is the best way to recover money from a cryptocurrency exchange scam?
The platform I'm using to trade cryptocurrency is based in Singapore but operated by Chinese people. I have invested 150k AED into it, coming all from my credit cards.
When I wanted to withdraw money, the customer service said that I need to pay taxes on the profit amount. After paying taxes to them, they are now saying the financial intelligence department found that my account is abnormal and suspected of money laundering due to recent frequent trades and excessive txn volume.
They want me to deposit 20% of my account amt (10k USD) within a week to prove that I didn't launder money, or it will be frozen and will report me to the FI dept.
Can you please advise if this is legal according to the laws and regulations of Singapore?
I don't have money anymore to pay them and I think it's just a scam. The platform recently had the system upgraded and changed; no license, no t&cs, no physical address, no phone number. Shall I report to the police now?

المطالبة بعوائد منتظرة غير مدفوعة مقابل الاستثمار مع شركة للعملات المشفرة


2
س: مرحبًا سيدي،
الموضوع: أول شركة إسلامية للعملات المشفرة.
بدأت شركة استثمارية تسمى [------] مقرها إمارة رأس الخيمة في تلقي استثمارات باعتبارها أول شركة إسلامية للعملات المشفرة عام 2019.
في شهر مارس 2019، استثمرت 50,000 درهم إماراتي (تبلغ قيمة رمز العملة الرقمية الواحدة 0.10 دولارًا أمريكيًا) وعرضوا أيضًا مكافأة أولية بنسبة 30٪ من إجمالي الاستثمارات.
بعد عام واحد من الاستثمار، أبلغوني أن كل استثماراتي الإجمالية قد تم تحويلها إلى حساب [أس].
وبعد مرور بعض الوقت، أبلغوني أن الحساب [أس] قد ارتبطت بالمنصة [----] وأنه يمكننا بدء التداول قريبًا جدًا.
لسوء الحظ، لم يبدأ التداول بعد، كما أنني غير قادر على التواصل مع أي شخص في هذه الشركة [أيه] أو [أس].
يرجى تقديم المشورة بشأن كيفية استرداد أموالي، وهل يجب عليّ رفع قضية جنائية ضدهم؟ هل تعتقد أن هذه عملية احتيال؟
في انتظار ردك الكريم.
ك. م.

ضحية لاحتيال بالعملات المشفرة. هل يمكنني استرداد أموالي؟


2
س: أعتقد أنني ضحية لعملية احتيال تتعلق بالعملات المشفرة. تواصلت مع فتاة على تطبيق مواعدة في ديسمبر وأدخلتني إلى منصة للعملات المشفرة وساعدتني على الاستثمار خطوة بخطوة باستخدام لقطات شاشة.
طُلب مني باستمرار إيداع مبلغ 20 ألف دولار أمريكي. جمعت 5 آلاف دولار أمريكي وأودَعت هي 15 ألف دولار أمريكي في حسابي للعملات المشفرة. تم رفض السحب وطلبت مني خدمة العملاء دفع 12 ألف دولار أمريكي كضريبة على الأرباح المحققة لكي أتمكن من الحصول إلى هذه الأموال.
جهزت 9 آلاف ودفعت هي 3 آلاف دولار أمريكي نيابة عني. نظرًا لأن مبلغ 3 آلاف دولار لم يكن من حسابي، طلبت مني خدمة العملاء دفعه من حسابي وهو ما فعلته كما ينبغي. طُلب مني بعد ذلك إيداع 15 ألف دولار أمريكي كضمان لأن الأموال التي دُفعت في البداية كانت من شخص آخر.
فعلت ذلك وتمت الموافقة على السحب ولكن أبلغوني أن السماح للأموال عالق ويتعين عليّ دفع 8.3 ألف دولار أمريكي كرسوم قناة كبرى وسيتم ترقيتي إلى عميل مميز.
بعد الدفع، يُطلب مني الآن دفع 6.3 ألف دولار أمريكي كرسوم تعدين على رصيد حسابي بالكامل للحصول على المبلغ.

عرض الجميعDo I need to inform my current employer 2 months in advance if I plan to leave? 0
Hello,
I am planning to change to another company and I am waiting for the offer. The visa from the current company is going to end in 2 months.
Should I inform them about my leaving? I haven’t received any offer yet, so I didn’t inform them, and they’re asking about the renewal every day.
Is it mandatory to inform them 2 months in advance?

Is a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications? 0
Hello,
My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.
Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter?
If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?

Can the debtor file a bounced cheque case against a car loan I took if it is a guarantee cheque? 0
Hello,
I'm from the Philippines, working here for 15 years. I have a big problem, and they have repeatedly given me a case of a cheque worth AED 73,000 for almost 9 years.
Recently, they filed a case again after knowing that my case was done last October. This cheque is a guarantee cheque only for my 5-year monthly car installments.
I paid for almost 2 years and have 3 years left to be paid, but I gave the person who guaranteed my car a cheque worth AED 73,000 at that time.
I don't have enough requirements to get the 5-year monthly installment car, so I asked someone to help me, but my biggest mistake is that I don't have any agreement for this cheque because I totally trust him as my family.
After delaying payment for 2 months because I went on vacation and came back, he asked me to visit their shop. When I went, they just called me and told me to get his things.

How to file a case against my former company for unpaid salary I was not on their visa? 0
Dear Legal Advice Middle East,
I hope you are well.
I am seeking legal advice regarding an unpaid salary issue with my former employer, [-----]2 LLC. I was employed with them from December 4, 2024, to January 7, 2025, on a monthly salary of 5,000 AED.
However, I only received a partial payment of 2,473 AED on February 24, 2025. The remaining 2,527 AED is still unpaid.
I submitted a complaint to MOHRE on March 2, 2025, but I am unable to proceed further through their official channels.
This is because I was working under the visa of my previous employer, [---] LLC, and not under [----]’s sponsorship.
As a result, I do not meet the criteria to file a labor complaint via the MOHRE app or hotline.
Given this situation, I would appreciate your guidance on how I can legally pursue the recovery of my remaining salary, considering the complications related to my visa status during the employment.

I sent the landlord a notice to renew the lease 90 days earlier as per the contract. Can I change my mind if he didn't respond? 0
I live in Dubai and I have a one-year rental contract with my landlord. According to the agreement, I must tell the landlord at least 90 days before the contract ends whether I want to renew it or leave.
I followed the rule and sent them an email before the 90-day deadline, saying that I want to renew. They replied and said okay, and they asked me to send the new contract so they could sign it.
I prepared the new contract (with the rent price fixed according to RERA rules) and sent it to them about two weeks ago. But since then, they haven’t replied or signed the contract.
I think maybe they are waiting to see if someone else will offer more money to rent the apartment, so they are delaying their response.
Now I am wondering: if they finally send back the signed contract after a long delay—let’s say in one more week—and by that time I’ve changed my mind (for example, I found a better apartment or I’m leaving the country), am I legally required to continue with this landlord?
