Guidance on obtaining refund from a developer who forged my signature

Hello everyone,

I bought an off-plan unit from a developer around Feb. 2018. They promised to deliver by March 2019, but they kept on postponing.

Along the way, they asked me to sign the SPA. I said I won't and requested them to refund me my payments. At one point, they agreed and later they said no. I have all these correspondences on email.

Finally, the developer forged my signature and signed the SPA by themselves and registered it with DLD, and processed the cancellation.

When I visited DLD, I have been shown a SPA signed under my name on May 13, 2021. The signature was done fraudulently because I did not sign it. I made a payment of more than AED 130K.

I would appreciate your guidance.

Dear User,

Kindly note that we would need to conduct a forensic report in order to prove that the signature was forged; we can then file a civil claim to demand a full refund.

Kindly provide us with your phone number in order for us to set up a consultation with one of our lawyers and discuss your case in further detail.

Moreover, a consultation will be AED 500.

For sure, you have the right to get your money back as long as you have the proof of payment.

And regarding the fraud signature, you can do a criminal case against the company which will give the responsible person a sentence and you can get compensation.

For further details, please contact us on WhatsApp.
