Trends in Dubai
Burglary
A housekeeper's trial turned into a theft. The thief, caught on camera, stole jewelry (worth $5000) and $600 in cash. I have her passport details; she lied about her work permit and visa. What shoul… more
Contact the Dubai Police immediately. Providing them with the CCTV footage, passport details, and evidence of the falsified documents will significantly strengthen your case. Getting her blacklisted is a separate process and might not guarantee her arrest, so focus on the police report first. They're best equipped to handle this situation and pursue legal action.
Dubai/Sharjah Road Scam?
I helped a guy stranded on the ring road, gave him a ride to Ras Al Khaima after he claimed to have lost his wallet. Turns out he was fine, just jumped out and vanished. Did I get played?
Yeah, you got played. Hard. That's a classic scam. Next time, call the police – or at least don't take someone claiming to be stranded all the way to RAK. Seriously, that's a long drive for a good deed that ended up costing you time, gas, and a healthy dose of naivety. Lesson learned, I guess. Don't feel too bad, though. Lots of people fall for this one.
Yeah, I know, I feel like a total idiot. RAK?! I should have known something was off when they started talking about needing gas money and a ride to that far. I was just trying to be helpful, you know? Ugh. Live and learn, I guess. Thanks for the honesty, though. At least it wasn't a huge amount of money, but the time wasted... and the gas... that stung.
