Online Scam Trading Thru Qatar Living Classifieds

rmel00's picture

After a real trial to make business on line thru Qatar Living with these people who located outside Qatar, such as UK; Nigeria and so on… it is very clear now and I can say it loudly all of these are scam and no one must contacted them, underneath you can find the story to be a sign for all of you..
They are starting to email you when you made the first connection with them, and for sure the price which they specified for any item is much convened to anyone to buy from them; almost less than the original price 50% or maybe more.
They will ask you to send them the money thru Western Union, and if you are afraid send it with any address and any name but it should be to their country, and they will check that you sent to money to the same country of them by the “Money transfer control number” something likes ID for each transaction, then you will receive the item which you bought it from them and after inspection you will go to western union again to change the name and the address to their benefit to be able to collect the money, as they said.
But the reality is they can collect the money with any name and any address if you gave them the “Money transfer control number” without sending you anything, and this is a very big defect in western union as a money transfer agent.
Please don’t contact these who located outside Qatar to make trading, just contact who are living inside it.
Qatar living made a huge warning on the above of classified page, but no one is reading.

QatarKiwi said Its a classic scam ...

So many people get sucked into this. I have a UK address and alwayssay send it to my UK address or I can collect it instead and there is always some reason for them not to meet you. Best excuse I got was "For Tax reasons" that they has to post to you instead. What a crock.

Another True Con story:

One of my close friend met a guy in a bar and after a few drinks the guy let my friend in on the "secret" of cashing in on counterfeit currency notes. The condition was for every rupee you pay they paid you double.

So the guy checked it out with Rs 1,000 and he was immediately handed Rs 2,000 & told not to come with such small amount next time as the Risks were not worth it.

Next time he called them & went with Rs 100,000. No sooner he went in they tied him up and ran away with Rs 100,000.

Only then he realised that they were bluffing him & the Rs 2,000 handed to him were original currency & was just a bait for him.

irwans said Some scammers such as ...

Some scammers such as wireless4ultd/-a-t-/yahoo.com posting tens of ads and filling mainly on the first page.It is really wasting our time while tracking the ads we need.

This scammer seem never gave-up. They have high patience to always keep posting because they get return of their act.

Is possible for the moderator/owner to delete their account, so they will not post again?.

I know they can create new account and continue their action. But again their account can be deleted. Just keep an eye on new classifieds for newly registered member.

I can help to monitor and sure others can do so, if requested.
