Employment fraud and working just for a visit visa period
Dear Sir/Ma'am
This is Muhammad Usama Ali with you.
Actually, I'm from Pakistan and I was interested in working in Dubai. Meanwhile, my contact was with a person who used to say that I am the owner of the company in Dubai.
At that time, that person needed staff for his company and I also wanted a good job. Meanwhile, he talked about my job and told me that he will get some money from me for the visa.
So I asked him how much money I have to pay for the visa. He told me all the money. And then I asked him about the post and he said to me we hire you for a job of a purchaser.
I agreed to this post and he told me that you have to pay visa money in advance. The money he invited me to his Pakistani friend's account.
I sent the full amount to the account listed and given by him in Pakistan. Instead of giving me a work permit he gave me a visit visa.
I worked for him for one & half month and my visit visa was also for one month and my visa period has expired.

It is illegal for an individual to work without a valid employment contract/visa approved by the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation ("Ministry of Labour") or the concerned Free Zone Authority.
I don't know what I can do to help. He lied to you by making you pay a very high price. There wasn't any job. He just wanted your money.
