Q: Hello. For an online portal similar to Dubizzle, Souq.com, Jadopado (major difference being instead of buying and selling, people will be renting stuff), what would be the class to select when applying for Trademark protection? and which services should be selected from this class? Thank you.

Q: Hi, Someone opened a home internet connection in my name using my documents in a place I have never stayed in, in November 2018. In September 2019, the Du recovery team contacted me to settle the unpaid amount of AED 1499. I went to Du's office and registered a complaint. The contract they provided is not signed by me, nor the phone number or email address mentioned on the contract is mine. I registered a complaint with TDRA and they provided me with all papers. With these papers, I registered a case with SPS, and later the case was registered in Bur Dubai police station. I got the case number and sent it to Du. Since then things have not moved forward. Du recovery keeps calling me. What should be done? I do not wish to have any travel ban.

Q: Good day, We are a group of people and residents of the UAE who invested in an international company that called themselves an investing company and promised their investors a big return. In the end, we realized that the company was a scheme/pyramid, but unfortunately, it was late as we faced a company scam. And we lost a lot of money. Cases were opened all over the world against them. The leaders of the company who called them "10* stars" were residents of the UAE; some of them still live here and they introduced us to Finiko schemes. We need advice on where to start the case in the UAE and what is the right department to go to as the partners who were the main people of the company are hiding in the UAE with all the money? Kindly note that all investments were done by crypto in bitcoin currency. All victims have the evidence. We have sent complaints to e-crime, but the applications of all the victims got rejected and we cannot understand why. Thanks in advance!
