The $6 Million Fake Rice & Fruit Shipment Scam UAE

Amjad Ali Chajra and Faisal Raza Chajra were implicated in a massive $6 million trade scam involving the shipment of 6,000 tons of Indian rice and 800 tons of fruit to the UAE. Operating under the fake company name “Al Rawnaq Al Thahbhi General Trading,” they orchestrated fraudulent trade documents and agreements to lure international buyers into trusting the deal.

Once payment was secured, neither the rice nor the fruit was delivered, and the company behind the deal was discovered to be nonexistent. This case is now under active investigation by UAE authorities and has highlighted how shell companies are used as tools for high-value trade fraud.

Food Supply Insurance Fraud in Oman

In another cross-border scam, the Chajra network was linked to a food supply and insurance fraud case in Oman involving multiple victims. The duo reportedly faked delivery contracts for bulk food supply to government-linked organizations, backed by counterfeit insurance documents to appear credible.

Payments were made in advance by buyers, based on forged guarantees. However, no goods were delivered, and victims found themselves with invalid insurance coverage and no legal recourse. Omani victims have since filed complaints with both local police and international trade oversight bodies.

Mass Recruitment & Cruise Job Scam (Featured on BBC & AllAfrica)

Amjad and Faisal were connected to a fake overseas job recruitment ring, where they promised employment opportunities aboard cruise lines and in the Gulf hospitality industry. Victims primarily young job seekers from Pakistan were asked to pay “visa processing fees” and “placement charges,” with promises of contracts from international employers.

None of the jobs existed. Victims were left defrauded of thousands of dollars, without visas or offers. The story was picked up in international media, including BBC and AllAfrica, highlighting the emotional and financial toll on those affected.
