Q: Hello lawyer!
I need an expert advice from you.
I was married 3 years back and my husband and inlaws cheated me on his medical condition (i.e. he had both kidneys removed and transplanted his mother kidney).
A year after my marriage, I was pressured and tortured for not having a baby. I was very worried, and hence, got all my tests done and alhamdulillah everything was normal.
The doctor also checked my husband and as a result, his reports were negative and the reason for that was associated with his transplant and medicines.
He and his family behaviour is getting worse day by day, and hence, I am planning to get a divorce from him and wanted to know my legal rights and process to go further.
I am living with my parents since 9 months and my husband hasn't supported me in any way. Now, he has started defaming me on social media also. I would be very thankful if you can help me in this regard.

Filing a case against a defaulter for a crypto scam

15
Q: I believe that I am a victim of a crypto scam. I met a girl on tinder on 17/06/21 and after talking, we exchanged numbers. She onboarded me to Binance using step-by-step screenshots, helping me to set up an account.
She then asked me to set up an account on another platform which I now believe is a fake platform. Over a period of three months, she consistently encouraged me to deposit more and more money, and I was making huge returns.
In total, I deposited around 250k USD and supposedly had returns of 850k USD. But just recently when I tried to withdraw some of this, my withdrawal was declined and customer services told me I had to pay 150k USD in tax in order to access these funds.
I was very suspicious now and refused to pay. It was at this point that customer service stopped replying to me. I hope I can recoup some of the losses and this person can be brought to justice.

A scammer took the money and did not deliver the items. What to do?


1
Q: Hello all,
I am based in the UAE; however, I have been a victim of scammers recently and am facing much distress.
I ordered some items like an iPhone, a laptop, AirPods, a Play Station, and smartwatches, and paid the whole payment upfront, but that scammer didn't deliver anything to me.
I lost almost 15,000 AED, and now I have opened a case against the scammer with Dubai Police.
I transferred the payment through an exchange by domestic transfer inside the UAE via 10 transfers because the scammer kept citing the delay in delivery and asked for more and more money to deliver the order.
I admire that I had enough stupidity to transfer the payment with almost blind faith in the scammer.
I have all the WhatsApp conversations which happened between me and the scammer, and all the payment confirmation slips, and the Emirates ID of the scammer.
My concern in writing this email is to get the money back from the scammer.
Thanks!

A client tricked into transferring funds to a fraudulent account. What to do?
2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
Unfortunately, I have fallen victim to cybercrime.
One of our clients received a suspicious email containing a forged letterhead with a photoshopped signature and stamp, as well as an unauthorized IBAN (International Bank Account Number) that does not belong to us.
As a result, the client transferred funds to that fraudulent account without confirming with us.
Regarding our legal rights to recover the payment, it is essential to seek advice from a qualified attorney who is familiar with cybercrime and financial fraud. They will be able to guide us on the best course of action.
Depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances, we may explore options such as initiating a legal case against our client to recover the funds.
However, it is essential to have proper legal counsel to ensure that we take the appropriate steps and protect our rights throughout the process.
