The public prosecution has referred a salesman to trial on forgery, Dh16,000 fraud and impersonation charges.
Mitra Madani, a Bur Dubai prosecutor, who handled the probe, said that the accused used eight fake job letters to get the victim to believe his claims and then pay him the money. "The victim was at work at a recruitment agency when the accused came and claimed he was a manager at a technical service business and they needed to hire eight workers.
The complainant then showed him several resumes of job seekers who were then in the UAE. The accused then picked eight persons out of the applicants and asked "for copies of their passports, photos and Dh2,000 on each of them to pay for the costs of their visa papers".
The victim met the accused a couple of days later and the latter handed him eight employment letters which bore seals and which the accused alleged to be formally issued by the company where he worked.
"The victim then paid him Dh16,000 for employment and visa costs. He had promised those men, on tourist visas, he would land them jobs at the defendant's company.
Over the period of three months, the complainant kept trying to reach the accused, who would ignore his calls and later switched off his phone. It was only then that he realised he was victim of fraud.
During public prosecution investigation, the accused admitted he posed as a manager at a technical service company. That company was in fact the workplace of his friend. He told his friend about the workers' names and the latter later handed him eight fake job letters bearing the company's seal. That friend received Dh10,000 for getting the accused the forged documents.
Prosecutor Madani advised the public to deal only with the licensed companies, which are officially accredited, as per formal agreements, to avoid falling preys to fraudsters as it happened in the present case.
