Dubai Debt Collector after receiving PCC

[Mavin74]

I am a Permanent Resident in Canada. Recently morning I recieved an email in my office inbox from an alleged Dubai debt collecting agency. I’m not quite sure how they got my office email address (maybe I through LinkedIn).Furthermore, the same person, who sent the email also send me a friend request on Facebook and LinkedIn. I felt harassed and intimidated.

I cannot remember the debt being referred to here as it’s been over 10 years since I left Dubai. If the bank had filed a police case against me, I would not have been issued a PCC by Dubai Police—a requirement for PR application. Is this possible? Please advise.

It sounds like the bank handed your account over to a collections agency.

It's pretty easy for people to figure out your company email address based on your name and who you work for. So that is very easily explained.

This really isn't an immigration issue. Just ignore them.
