How can victims file a group case for fraud, bounced cheques, and misuse of credit cards?

Hello,

I would like to ask for legal advice regarding a fraud case in Abu Dhabi involving multiple victims. The suspect issued bounced cheques, received AED with a promise to exchange it into IDR but failed to deliver, misused other people’s credit cards, and operated an unlicensed travel/tour business.

Many clients paid for Umrah or vacation packages that never happened. The total loss is significant, and many victims have evidence such as WhatsApp chats, bank transfers, and bounced cheques.

We believe this involves a breach of trust and embezzlement. We would like to know if we can file a group case, what legal steps to take, and the cost of legal representation.

Thank you!

Dear Inquirer,

Thank you for reaching out!

Based on your description, the case appears to involve serious criminal offenses under UAE law, including fraud, breach of trust, issuing bounced cheques, and operating without a license.

With multiple victims and supporting evidence, it is possible to consider a group criminal complaint or coordinated civil claims, depending on the objectives.

We recommend initiating immediate legal action to preserve your rights and recover losses. Our firm can assist with:

- Filing complaints with the relevant authorities in Abu Dhabi,

- Representing victims in criminal and civil proceedings, and

- Advising on the most effective legal strategy for group claims.

To proceed, we invite you to book a consultation through our website or authorize our office to represent you so we can take prompt legal steps on your behalf.

Best regards,

In the UAE, you can pursue a civil claim for compensation alongside the criminal case.

Often, the criminal court might award a temporary civil compensation, or the criminal conviction serves as strong evidence for a separate civil lawsuit later.

Once a criminal conviction is secured, it becomes much easier to file a civil case for the recovery of your money.

The civil claim will be based on the financial losses incurred due to the criminal acts. All victims should immediately gather and organize their evidence, including bounced cheques, bank transfers, WhatsApp chats, and detailed statements of losses.

You can file individual criminal complaints with the Abu Dhabi Police, which will likely be consolidated by the Public Prosecution into a single investigation, leading to potential travel bans or arrest warrants for the suspect.

We will discuss the procedures in detail.

Kindly share your WhatsApp number to discuss further.

Thank you for reaching out with the details of this concerning matter!

Based on the facts you've shared, this situation clearly involves multiple criminal offenses under UAE law, including fraud, breach of trust (the UAE Penal Code), misuse of cheques, and operating a business without a license.

The use of WhatsApp messages, bank transfer records, bounced cheques, and other written communications will be crucial in building a strong case.

Yes, a collective or group criminal complaint can be submitted to the Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution or the competent police station, especially if there are multiple victims harmed by the same individual or company.

This strengthens the prosecution's position and demonstrates a pattern of fraudulent conduct. Parallel civil claims can also be initiated to recover funds.

I can assist you with:

- Filing the criminal complaint and ensuring it is registered properly,

- Preparing a joint victim statement and evidence submission,

- Coordinating with Public Prosecution and following up on the progress,

- Filing civil claims for recovery of amounts (where feasible), and

- Advising you on asset freezing options where applicable.

My fees will be structured reasonably based on the complexity and number of victims, and we can discuss a joint engagement structure to keep costs manageable for everyone involved.

Please reach out to me directly via WhatsApp or phone so I can assess the situation further and guide you through the next steps.

Kind regards,

Suhail Rana

Hello,

Victims can collectively file a complaint. In the UAE, especially for financial and commercial fraud, a group complaint strengthens the case, especially when supported by consistent evidence from multiple parties.

If you require our assistance, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

The victims should proceed by gathering evidence, reporting the crime to the authorities, and consulting with a legal professional to navigate both criminal and civil avenues for redress.

The victims should be prepared for a potentially lengthy legal process and should maintain close communication with their legal representatives.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for reaching out regarding the fraud case involving multiple victims in Abu Dhabi!

Based on the details you've provided, this matter involves serious criminal offenses under UAE law, including fraud, breach of trust, issuance of bounced cheques, misuse of credit cards, and operating an unlicensed travel business.

Given the number of affected individuals and the nature of the evidence (e.g., WhatsApp communications, bank transfers, and cheques), you are advised to file a group criminal complaint with the Abu Dhabi Police and request escalation to the Public Prosecution.

A separate civil claim can also be pursued for financial recovery.

To proceed efficiently, we recommend organizing all supporting documents (evidence, IDs, contracts, etc.) and appointing a legal representative to coordinate the group’s case.

Please let us know how you'd like to proceed or if you'd prefer to schedule a consultation to review the case in more detail.

Best regards,

Thank you for reaching out and providing detailed information regarding your situation.

Given the circumstances described, including the issuance of bounced cheques, misuse of credit cards, unlicensed business activities, and significant financial losses affecting multiple victims, you and the other affected parties have strong grounds to pursue legal action in Abu Dhabi.

1. Filing a Group Case:

Multiple victims can file a joint criminal complaint against the suspect. Consolidating your evidence and presenting a unified case can help demonstrate the scale and seriousness of the offenses to the authorities.

2. Legal Steps to Take:

Collect and organize all available evidence, such as WhatsApp communications, bank transfer records, bounced cheques, and any other relevant documentation.

File a police report at the relevant police station, clearly outlining the facts and providing all supporting evidence.

The police will investigate and may refer the case to the Public Prosecution for further action. Depending on the findings, charges may include fraud, breach of trust, embezzlement, and operating an unlicensed business.

You may also consider pursuing a civil claim to recover financial losses in addition to the criminal proceedings.

3. Legal Representation and Costs:

Legal fees for such cases can vary depending on the complexity and number of victims involved. During an initial consultation, a law firm can provide a detailed breakdown of costs and the scope of services offered.
