Q: Hello, I had recently signed a sale contract of my property through a broker in Dubai. The broker was supposed to have the deposit 10% cheques. When I had asked for a copy of the deposit cheques, I realized it was from a third party. Doing a background check of the third party company, I discovered that the third-party company had an expired trade license (they provided valid dates on trade license, meaning government trade license document was forged) and now the sales agreement dates are coming to an end; I don't have managers cheques nor valid deposit cheques. The only documents I have are deposit cheques from a third party, letter of assurance from the third party company (with forged copy-pasted signature and no stamp, forged trade license of the third-party company). What can I do?

Q: My husband's twin brother used my husband's degree certificate to make a fake certificate to obtain a job in the UAE. His brother is working in a company for the past 25 years or more. But now only we came to know about this truth. What should my husband do in this case? He used his certificate without his consent. Will my husband be responsible for this if he does not report this to the authorities? If so where should I report this?
