DLS and Fred MIA

Perhaps IMEX inside has a sort of a link or even an office like the one shown in the DLS picture, but it was closed when I got there, so I cannot tell for sure. I paid DLS and they got my renewal without any problem. I was afraid of being scammed but I called IFZA and verified it. Was anybody scammed here? Or was I too lucky? I do not know. What I can tell is that I find this "ghosting" approach very unprofessional.
IMEX appears to be a finished office centre. https://dubaimarina-businesscenter.imexre.com/
Seems like a legit place.
Glad to hear you had no issues! :)
 
sorry but extensive correspondence. Email only i guess. No phone number works, nor the ones on their website. Seems spurious to say the least.

Noone met Fred in the last year, "planning to meet?" just my two pence.

I have extensive correspondence alright, with IFZA doing my own renewal despite paying those **** for it.

This is not what it seems, it walks like a duck, it sounds like a duck, probably is a goose

I just described my recent experience with DLS, clarifying that their latest emails are not a scam. Communication with Fred has always been an issue.
 
I must also say that, to his credit, Fred has always replied, and he didn’t just disappear from the forum, leaving people hanging. I’m a bit surprised to see that two users have reported something negative about DLS. Anyway, you can never satisfy every customer, there will always be some who complain and feel cheated, no matter how well you try to do things.

thats what i mean, dls says, fred is back, you can meet. but never ever there is an actual phone call, or anything in person or at their offices. An email only, heaven knows who you actually dealing with. Unless anyone can confirm they seen or met or indeed spoke in person or even by phone to dls - it seems to be as mysterious as the bitcoin creator.

Via email you can be anyone.

am sure if you pay dls, they will pay the fees due to ifza, but you also would go for dls as there is added value there, which is no longer the case. If your renewal is anything but simply straightforward, they are nowhere to be found. We pay a premium for their service, which is nonexistent. The contact details on dls-dubai.com website are not being answered.


I would strongly advise not to use DLS as we do not know who actually runs the show over there.

In my case, the renewal turned out to be cheaper than directly through IFZA. DLS mentioned a discount for clients in the email, and I checked - it’s true. Additionally, I renewed for several years at once (IFZA allows renewal for up to 5 years), which allowed me to get an additional discount. However, this discount comes from IFZA, and DLS simply reflects it in their prices.
 
@M4S you said- when fred arrives back in the UAE. Is he not available currently? When will he come back? maybe thats a reason, why there was no recent communication from his side
No he is currently out of the country. He is scheduled back early November

Fred has never left us hanging for anything. Always great service, sometime slow in response but he always got back to us. Everything as advertised and made good on what he promised even if it was extra effort in his side, which is more than I can say for many providers I have dealt with in the UAE

Just my $0.02. Everyone has their own experiences ‍♂️
