Lost savings to a 'Raymond' on Tinder and a fake forex platform. How do I report this in UAE?
I'm still in shock and tbh, a bit embarrassed to even post this. I met this guy, Raymond, on Tinder a few months ago. He seemed really nice, we talked a lot about life and future plans. Then he started talking about how he made his money – forex trading. He was so convincing, showed me screenshots of his 'gains'. He got me to sign up for this platform, I won't name it directly but it was a forex one he said his 'uncle' developed. Everything seemed legit at first, I even saw some small returns. But when I tried to withdraw a larger amount, they hit me with these 'tax' fees, then 'liquidity' fees, then 'compliance' fees... it never ended. Now the whole site is gone, and so is Raymond. I'm in Sharjah, UAE. I've lost about 15,000 USD, which is a huge amount for me. I feel so stupid. What's the best way to report this from here? I feel like the police won't even understand.
