Greetings of the day,

If you believe you've been scammed by a company in the UAE that offered a fake job and took your money, you can take the following steps to try and recover your funds and report the fraud:

1. Gather all relevant documentation such as emails, job offers, payment receipts, and any other communication with the company that indicates the job offer was fraudulent.

2. If you made a payment through a bank transfer or online payment service, contact them immediately to report the transaction as fraudulent. They may be able to help you initiate a chargeback.

3. Report the incident to MOHRE. They handle issues related to labor and employment.

4. You can file a report with the local police. They have cybercrime units that deal with online fraud.

5. If the scam occurred in a free zone or specific economic zone, you can also report to that authority.

6. You can report the fraudulent company to the Economic Department of the emirate where the company is registered. They handle commercial fraud.

7. Work with your lawyer to prepare necessary legal documents, including a formal complaint or lawsuit.

Best regards,
