Received this a couple of days ago from someone purporting to be a lawyer or law firm in the UAE:
Dear Midex Airlines Crewmembers and other employees:
It has come to our knowledge that Midex Airlines is holding very significant amounts of money that you have honestly earned.
We are here to let you know that because you are an " expat " doesn't mean you are alone. The Labor Law exist and you can be protected under the legal parameters of the law. Don't be afraid to air your concerns. If you feel your contract or your rights are being violated then approach the U.A.E. Labor Department and seek assistance. Most of the companies don't want you to know that you have legal rights and continuously harass and threatens employees and seems this is exactly what you are experiencing now.
According to the U.A.E. Labor Law it is illegal for an employer to hold with no cause an employee's salary.
Therefore in order to take action against Midex Airlines and help you get back your salary A.S.A.P. you need to immediately go to the link we are providing to you at this time and file the appropriate complain.
Look on the left lower corner "salary complain".

Truly yours,
U.A.E.Labor Law
