WELCOME TO THIS WEBSITE. It is dedicated to warning people about professional scammers operating in Dubai, UAE. The company falsely claims to run a legitimate Dubai seafood chain, managed by a husband and wife team who are actually con artists. They assert that they operate the largest seafood chain in Dubai, but this business collapsed years ago. The managing director, Shannavas Valiyavalappil, also known as Shannavas Mohammed, is a convicted criminal with 40 cases to his name, making this a vital source for scam warnings.

- We want to share our story to shed light on a troubling investment journey that many of us have faced, particularly concerning a Dubai seafood chain that has left numerous investors in distress.
Initially, we were excited to invest our hard-earned money into a project we believed would succeed. However, as time passed, it became increasingly clear that our trust was misplaced. While we thought our partner had invested his share, the reality was starkly different.
Several crucial payments were never made, including:
- Deposits to the hotel
- Initial rental payments
- Staff visas
- Contractor fees
- Import of furniture from China
Regrettably, we found out that our investment had been spent on personal pursuits, notably at the Crown Lounge in Conrad Hotel, where the money appears to have been lost. To keep the project afloat, we had no choice but to pay for furniture and point-of-sale systems ourselves just to get operations underway, yet even today, many contractors remain unpaid.
What’s more alarming is the recent discovery that this individual has sold 50% of our company, Jala, to another investor for 1 million AED — using falsified paperwork. This agreement will not hold up in court as our ownership is clearly documented in all legal documents.
As an unsettling side note, this new investor is now facing financial loss, just like us. Despite our numerous attempts to find justice in the court system by investing thousands of British pounds, we have seen little to no results.
Recently, this individual spent 40 days in prison for issuing bad cheques but was released, now under a travel ban that conveniently allows him to continue operating in Dubai. Unfortunately, the repercussions extend beyond finance as 15 other investors have lost millions, and over 60 staff members worked tirelessly without receiving their wages. Many of these employees now face complications due to their visa cancellations, incurring fines and unable to find new employment until their status is resolved.
The impact on lives has been devastating. While we’ve reluctantly accepted that our investments may never be recovered, we believe it's critical for this individual to be held accountable for the life-altering consequences he has caused. We want to expose this couple, who are nothing short of professional scammers, to stop them from doing this to other people, and we urge others to heed these scam warnings.
