The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) alerts the community to false, misleading and deceptive statements made on the following website - http://www.difcuae.org/
 
The website states that “Dubai Investment Financial Capital UAE” is regulated by the DFSA.

 

This statement is incorrect. Dubai Investment Financial Capital is not regulated by the DFSA, and is not affiliated with the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), despite the use of the initials “DIFC” on the website.
 
It is a contravention of DFSA Law and Rules for a person to represent that they are regulated by the DFSA, when they are not. The DFSA strongly advises you not to deal with the Firm or persons connected with the website.

 

The DFSA has recently issued warnings and guidance in regard to the common types of scams perpetrated on consumers.  For more information on these scams, please go to:
