Concern or Complaint
It is important to establish the difference between a concern and a complaint. Taking informal concerns seriously at the earliest stage will reduce the likelihood of their developing into formal complaints.
If you have any concerns about our work please tell a counter staff or their manager as soon as possible, so they can quickly understand your concerns and try to put things right.
If you are not happy with the response to your concern and/or you want to make a formal complaint please follow the procedure below.
Complaints Procedure
Al Jadeed Exchange aims to settle the majority of complaints quickly and satisfactorily by the staff who provides the service. The complaint may be resolved quickly by way of an apology or by an acceptable explanation to the individual.
There are three stages to the complaint’s procedure:
- Stage One – the complaint
- Stage Two – investigation
- Stage Three – appeal
Stage One – Complaint
- The complaint can be written or if the individual prefers they can tell someone at AJX or someone else, who will write it down for them. The complainant will need to sign it.

- All complaints at this stage should be dealt with by a manager. If they need to meet with the complainant, they will do so within seven working days of receiving the written complaint.
- Complaints will be fully investigated, and a written response provided to the complainant within ten working days by the investigator.
- The complainant will receive written confirmation of the outcome of any investigation any recommendations/remedies made, such as reviewing of policies, staff development and training or appropriate improvement to our services.

Stage Three – Appeal

- Make changes to the Stage Two recommendation/actions
- The complainant should be informed in writing of the outcome of stage three, the decision reached about this complaint will then be final but other options available to the complainant (as listed below) should be detailed in the letter.

Typical consumer fraud examples
1. Internet Purchase Scams
Customers are led to believe they are purchasing an item from a legitimate company or seller through the Internet. The customer purchases an item on the Internet and is instructed to make a payment through AJX. The suspect receives the money but no merchandise is ever received by the customer.
2. Tax Scam
Victim is contacted by someone claiming to be from a governmental agency saying that money is owed for taxes, and it must be paid immediately to avoid arrest, deportation or suspension of driver’s license/passport.
3. Lottery / Sweepstakes Scams
Customers are tricked into believing they have won a lottery prize or sweepstakes, even though they did not purchase a ticket for the lottery or enter a sweepstakes drawing. Victims are notified by e-mail that their e-mail address was selected as the winner of a lottery or sweepstakes. In order to receive the winnings, the customer must send money to pay fees for processing, insurance, customs, tax etc.
- Overpayment Scam
The fraudster sends the victim a cheque that appears to be valid as payment for a service or product. Typically, the amount of the cheque exceeds what the victim expects to receive, and the fraudster tells the victim to send the excess back using a money transfer. When the cheque bounces, the victim is left responsible for the full amount.
5. Romance Scams
There are various forms of Romance Scams known as on-line dating, social networking and “mail order bride” services. All of these scams involve tricking the customer into providing funds to a person the customer believes he/she has a relationship with.

- Remain vigilant and do not share personal details with anyone.
- Confirm the credentials of the person contacting you.
- Never send money to unverified sources/unknown people.
