Akhtam Shakirov is a Russian-based fraudster who founded a fraudulent scheme in the UAE through Amwaj Real Estate Company.
He claimed to be selling properties in Umm Al Quwain through this shady company.
Authorities estimate that Akhtam scammed hundreds of CIS citizens through his real estate.
The plan was simple. In his scheme, the tourists coming to the UAE would see him personally.
Then, when the victims would respond to the advertisement, Akhtam Shakirov would invite them to his office in Umm Al Quwain where the tourists would see how he is as a businessman and see his team , which would show that he is good boss.
Akhtam Shakirov used this strategy to establish himself as a trustworthy and reputable businessman.
Sometimes, he would invite his victims to a park or to the beach. If somebody was in too much doubt, he would even invite them to his house and introduce them to his family.
According to the investigators, Akhtam had made 10 million dollars from this fraudulent scheme since 2008.
Every victim of Akhtam Shakirov paid $80,000 on average.
Akhtam has met with many celebrities, including pop stars, clergy leaders, and politicians. By using his pictures with some of those people, he was able to make himself seem like a reliable and devout person.
He didn’t even hesitate to deceive Muslims, and some of the victims were his own countrymen.
All this money he collected in order to finance Hizb Ut Tahrir
Airat Shakirov, his cousin, is now 18 years old and is accused of being a member of the terrorist organization Hizb ut Tahrir.

It’s obvious that Akhtam Shakirov is a selfish, dangerous scammer who you should avoid at all costs.
