Hi, a few years ago I enrolled in a distance University based in the USA (they claimed to have an office in Dubai). I paid registration fees and soon I discovered it was not accredited anywhere. Today I received a call from someone from the MOI in Dubai saying I had a file opened and needed to cancel it in order to avoid investigation as the university was involved in money laundry and connected me with someone in USBES in Washington. It seems I have to pay 2,600 US$ to have the credentials cancelled or face investigation. They sent me an email inquiry@moi.gov.ae and another one from ESBES which seem legitimate but something doesn’t sound right. Do you know if it could be a scam? Thanks.

My question really is if the call I received from the MOI and the ESBES was genuine. Basically if the Government of Dubai are investigating people who enrolled in universities which later on proved to be unaccredited. Mind you I never got a degree or anything from this University (they only took my money).

UAE police cannot detain a person who committed a crime outside the country of UAE. However, if a contact was made between the UAE police and US Authorities for a case file of fraud, the offender could be caught and detained for re-gaining the money
