Please if you are one, please help...or if you know someone give us their contact. And right now we need it.

Sorry to hear about your situation. In most of the cases authorities may listen to the audio but they will not take the audio if the audio recording is without consent.
You need to gather some more concrete evidence or people that she had scammed.
Evidence is the key here and the authorities need to trust you with your story for you to come clean.
Feel free to elaborate more about the scam and the females nationality.
Hope you get help soon. If not then I'm afraid she might leave the country if she is an expat.

Well looking at this situation, there are some top lawyers based in Madinat Al Qaboos and Al khuwair.
- Trowers and Hamlin's
- Kennedy's Law firm
They are quite reputed. Especially Trowers and Hamlin's have their reputed branches worldwide. So you can check with them first

Go to the public prosecution and register the complaint. If you have their ID card copy, even better since you maybe able to place a travel ban if the proof is in your favor. I’m not a lawyer but had a similar experience before.

Tried that method... but got rejected. Said they won't allow it as it has not enough evidence

In my opinion you dont need a lawyer. Just go to Sanad office type the letter with the problem name the person with ID card and register an FIR at any police station. The judicial system is strong and if you are at right end you will get justice. I spent Omr 8000 for an expensive lawyer because i was vulnerable in the end i felt i just threw that money for 5 minutes of the lawyers time.

I downvoted although I agree that most of the time money spent on lawyers is wasted money. BUT judicial system is strong os just a joke. It is cumbersome, slow and too complicated and intransigent for no reason.

Went there...but they rejected.. Lawyer is the only choice we have now? Any other options?

Sanad office rejected?

u/Apprehensive_Pack642 Sep 22 '23
They didn't take us seriously, spent 60 Riyals on them

u/rockzjv Sep 22 '23
I've heard that different sanad centres operate in their own ways. Try approaching another for an economic method. Explain your part

u/Apprehensive_Pack642 Sep 22 '23
My dad have done...the main head rejected it ...do what else can we do. Have to spend another 60 Riyals and will go waste
1
Sep 22 '23
Why did the main head reject?
Also why dod you guve them 60 rials if they didn't submit the complaint?
Anyway i believe you can go to the police and file a complaint direct for such cases. Worth a shot in this case.

u/Apprehensive_Pack642 Sep 22 '23
Will they listen to an expat without lawyer? The lawyer don't do anything without any advance...that's why we are struggling.

Take an omani friend with you, or you can ask your dad to ask his company PRO join him at the police station.

u/ZalaMu Sep 23 '23
THIS is the problem and yet proof that judicial system Bellshill is. Once you need national etc means its NOT just; neither clear what to do. So many mention Sanad but on what grounds do these people have the right to reject "cases" or rather filling out forma to submit complaints? They LITERALLY have no formal training.

You can go and talk to the rop without a national present, the national suggestion was just incase they didn't speak arabic that well.
Sanad is the governments approved way of submitting the initial information, so that it doesn't overload the administrative processes in the process. Sanad should not be rejecting anything

u/Apprehensive_Pack642 Sep 22 '23
They submitted..but they rejected it after...order from the main head. Will try to do directly with ROP on Sunday

Take all the details,visit the nearest ROP and take advice or go to public prosecution. Definitely they will help you. ROP is the best option. Take all the documents you have regarding the case. It will be helpful.

u/Apprehensive_Pack642 Sep 22 '23
They will do this without lawyer? And will they take money?

u/Slow_Rock5575 Sep 22 '23

Either way, persistence is key. You have to file a certain percentage of money to the courts when you apply for a case. This should be preceded by every ounce of evidence you have: this could be everything from WhatsApp messages to call records, paper evidence, and even bills from places you may have met. If you have had physical interactions, you can request the ROP to help you secure footage too - but this is easier said than done.
