Investment fraud occurs when individuals deceive you into investing money. This can involve stocks, bonds, notes, commodities, currency, or real estate. Scammers might lie or provide false information about a legitimate investment or create a completely fake investment opportunity. If you fall victim to investment fraud in the UAE, you can file a case with the police or in the civil court. However, you must have evidence to support your claim that the individual borrowed money from you with a promise to repay by a specific date. Without such evidence, you cannot file a case in the UAE.
