Why FanPro Management Operates from Dubai
FanPro Management PTY LTD is registered in South Australia (ABN: 45 668 369 524), but its founder Tyron Humphris appears to conduct business from Dubai, UAE. Multiple victims have identified this as a deliberate barrier to legal recovery.
The Jurisdictional Problem
When a company takes your money from Dubai but is registered in Australia:
- Australian courts can claim jurisdiction over the registered entity, but enforcing judgments against a person living in the UAE is extremely difficult
- Dubai authorities require victims to navigate a completely different legal system, often in Arabic, with different evidentiary standards
- Cross-border fraud cases are notoriously expensive and time-consuming to pursue
- Credit card chargebacks may be complicated if the payment was processed through a Dubai-based merchant account
What Victims Are Saying
Carla Holding, a single mother who financed her FanPro purchase on a 30% APR credit card, reported she is "currently unable to recover funds due to Dubai location."
Andrea Worldwide, who paid $40,000 for 10 models, reported she is "attempting to file a police fraud case in Dubai" — a process that requires navigating the UAE legal system from abroad.
As of February 2026, FanPro's website now publicly lists their Dubai office address as Elite Sports Residence 3, Victory Drive, Dubai, UAE. The Australian registration (ABN: 45 668 369 524) remains active. This confirms the dual-jurisdiction structure that makes legal recovery so difficult for victims.
