anybody here been a victim of her illegal business transactions in her office just near Central Cafe? bcoz i was... she took 68K Riyals frm me with all her "sweet" promises about bznz partnership, visa and drivers license for my hubby...
i am holding a bounced cheque with an amount of 68,320 Riyals to be specific, been to the Police Office last October 07 but it seems that Law here in Qatar is as useless in the Phils. unitl now, nothing happened with my filed case against her.

Why don't you file a formal complaint with our embassy or the courts (those with pending court cases cannot get an exit permit).

sorry about that, ...sorry about that, treysdad...

Thanks rtuanquin8877 ...Thanks rtuanquin8877 !
I think if you have an evidence such as the bounced check you can file a case in court. I think there is a legal service offered by our embassy.
Or you can try the POLO office at the back of CHN university (back of Hamad near Little Manila rest.)

--->rtuanquin8877 ...that person you are referring to had been brought out to the news yesterday (ref: TFC- Balitang Middle East). If your story holds true, then you're probably one of her victims too. Sad to say but...you have the right to file your case to the authority concerned.
fan_ni_sarap said
yes ...napanood ko rin un sa tfc. kung n file mo n case d sya makakalis sa qatar.
but if just went to police office and told them your story and did not file any comlaint wala mangyayari.
working_mom said
victim ...My friend is one of her victim tsk tsk she offerred a qadama visa and now the person is here hindi pa natransfer inabot na sila ng 6k QAR penalty nasa kanya ang passport.

fan_ni_sarap, i already ...fan_ni_sarap, i already filed a complaint at the police station near HSBC at the souq and last october 07 pa un... i didnt know na mabagal pala proseso nla dito, parang pinas din kesyo may koneksyons daw... though i already have a strong evidence w/c is bounce cheque niya worth 68,320 Riyals...
alecscotland said
rtuanquin8777 ...for such issues, we cannot offer you any help except for a piece of advice. granting na-estafa ka ng tao, just make sure that the circumstances surrounding the transaction(s) you entered with her is legal. otherwise, baka pati ikaw ikulong. you know most of us here are not allowed to conduct business & the money you put forward is an evidence that can be used against you.
marami na ring pinoy ang na-involve sa ganyang kaso. malakas ang loob nila kasi bago pa sila mag umpisa ng raket nila, meron na silang "exit plan". alam nila kung paano nila lulusutan o tatakasan. especially that she's not working alone...
wag ka ng umasa sa police dito. it will take years before they will even hear your case. bumawi ka na lang sa ibang paraan... and next time, DO NOT TRUST YOUR MONEY WITH SUCH INDIVIDUALS. a background check will help before you do business with anyone.

napanood ko din sya sa ...napanood ko din sya sa balitang mid-east (if that's the same case), tapos nagsalita din ung asawa nya na local, willing daw sya harapin lahat ng naging biktima ng asawa basta pumunta lang daw sa office nya tapos tutulong din daw sya sa paglutas ng kaso kasi nagagalit na rin sya dahil nagagamit ang name nya. sad to say marami pala kayong biktima. try to communicate with POLO/OWWA para magkasama-sama kau lahat ng victims para maplano mabuti kung pano mapapabilis ang paglutas ng case nyo.

I did not get to watch it ...I did not get to watch it (don't have TFC and even kapuso connection... pity me....)
Anyway, I met the person at least 3 times when I was going there for lunch. And she was really bragging about her local husband and connections she has with Traffic Dept and MOI. She said she can easily help with driver's license, visa, etc.
When she showed me her fees it was then I had some doubts and did not deal with her.
Incidentally, we don't go for lunch there anymore - not because of her - but because of their service and price. You have to wait more than an hour to get your food.
alecscotland said
overpricing ...i only eat there out of convenience being near to my friends place. but im not exactly a fan of their price & service. imagine a "binalot" meal for QR.45!!! well i could get a more decent meal from marriott for that price! at sus day, super tagal ng service! one time we ordered bulalo, malamig na at nag sebo ng i-serve sa amin.
siguro kung totoo na ma-raket ang may-ari, then we should stop patronizing her resto. who know's what kind of ingredients she's putting in your food... i mean, if you're into dirty tricks then what else is clean...
Karin said
. ...gusto ko pa naman ang seafoods sa central cafe diba sila rin ang may-ari nuon? though bihira narin ako pumunta kasi tumaas ang presyo at the same time lumiit ang portion ng pagkain. sana kung nagtaas na sila ng presyo dapat yong serving ng pagkain di na nila binawasan.
i got a chance to talk with her as well one time na kumain ako duon. magaling syang mag sales talk. from beauty saloon, facial to driver's license dami nyang raket na ihahatag sayo.

admittedly nakakalungkot ...admittedly nakakalungkot ang mga ganitong news... fellow pinoy.. who would have thought... but sabi nga nila, kahit saan meron ganyan, sadly nadadala tayo sa mga sweet words ng mga taong katulad nila....
i hope everything would be settled.. she should face the consequences..

Driver's license victim ...Wow friend ko na biktima niya for driving lincense chuva.. She asked QAR 2 k pasado na daw yun instead of paying full course na 1800 yata or something tapos ang result bagsak kawawang inday. Maraming nagising sa balita kahapon pati asawa hmmm nagkukunwari ba siya or hindi mo rin maintidihan statement niya sorry po for my misjudgment pero parang ganon na rin. And kung asawa talaga niya yun of course siya ang sponsor so isang click lang sa MOI alam kung nag exit siya and he should know her whereabouts pati yung anak niya sa Central Cafe nakauwi na. Kawawa naman naging biktima niya muntik na rin ako kasi nga she offered a nanny visa but the price was very high that's why I rejected her offer.

hanngang qatar dinadala ang pag ka corrupt... ...haay naku! kayo kasi ang hilig nyo sa mga palakasan & other forms of corrupt schemes! pwede naman mag apply ng visa at drivers license sa tamang paraan bakit padadaanin pa sa ganyang systema.
sa ganang akin, kung pumatol ka sa ganyang corrput practices, you are bound to be in trouble sooner or later. kaya payo ko sa mga kababayan natin, do not patronize corruption para hindi kayo ma-corrupt! get the logic?

karin, hindi sa knya ung ...karin, hindi sa knya ung salon, central cafe atbp... ina-angkin nya lng,pati ung arabo di nya asawa... gngamit nya lang ata pra bumango name niya...
may 3 anak siya dito, isang bnatang lalaki, isang dalaga na nagbabantay ng Puerto at si ineng na bata pa at nag-aaral sa PSD...
i spoke to her before she wnt MIA... nagsorry sakin about sa kalokohan niya at nagpromise na magbabayad na daw siya sakin ng pa-10K per month hanggang sa mabalik ung pera ko... but sad to know, MIA na siya... i heard lots of rumors from her old 'sidekick' ,sabi may utang pa daw siya sa isang Arabo na gusto dw siya ipa-MIA... may utang pa daw siya sa isang British or American Guy na gusto din ipadeport buong family niya but i dont know what happend...
right now, ipinagdadasal ko nalang siya na sana harapin niya lahat ng kalokohan niya/-a-t-/bayaran ung mga taong kinawawa niya... i know God wont leave us empty handed, God has plans for all of us... alam kong d SIYA papayag na may na-aagrabyado sa mga anak NIYA dito sa mundo....

treysad is superduper ...treysad is superduper right, knowing ung ugali ng mga local, kayang kaya nila gawan ng prob ung mga expatriates na nanloko sa kanila so kung sya nga naman ang sponsor, pwedeng pwede nila ipa-hold un, unless naunahan sya, out of the country na ung tao b4 pa nagputukan ung mga ganitong balita. pag nasa pinas or other country na ung tao, medyo mahirap na sa kanya mahanap un, ang pwede na lang nya gawin is i-ban ung asawa nya dito sa qatar. ung american guy, nakaprocess na ata ung case nya. still working everything out with his lawyer para mapadali ung case. sana masolve pa ung case nyo.

we cant help but feel sad ...we cant help but feel sad for the victims of this lady, but we also have to realize that "walang manloloko kung walang magpapaloko". pasintabi po sa mga tatamaan but aside from those whose evidently victimized by estafa, most of our ordinary kabayans turned out to be visit visitors buying kadama visa for QR6-7k, not to include the processing of transfer of sponsorship (daw!) which ranges from 500-1k. panlagay (daw!) sa immigration. they gave their hard-earned money then find themselves faced with daily penalty because there was no transfer made. marami po ang lumapit sa OWWA thru Honorable Hector Cruz pero ano po ang magagawa ng gobyerno natin? sa totoo po "wala" dahil unang una sa lahat bawal po ang gumamit ng ibang visa kung iba ang trabaho natin. we should be under the sponsorship of our own employers.
bottomline is: lets just do what is right and follow the labor law of qatar. sana po lumapit na lang tayo sa mga legitimate agencies who can find decent and legal jobs for our relatives rather than getting the services of these kind of people who thrive on the hardships of other people.
alecscotland said
tama si glecs ...tama ka glecs... but we should not feel sad for the so called "victims". why? because they have tolerated these vultures & gave them means to do their dirty business. in other words, nobody will supply such services if nobody demands for it. the victims themselves are encouraging these type of corrupt business to thrive & they should not be called "victims" but rather, "partners in crime".
so para sa mga nabiktima, pasensyahan na lang kasi kayo naman talaga ang may kasalanan. kung dinaan nyo sa legal, eh di mas may habol kayo.

Pinay troll, isang..... manloloko! ...mag-ingat din po kayo sa isang pinay na QLer din, nagbenta ng work visa "kunoh" sa kababayan nating si "nilann" na isa ding QLer.
Sa una, humingi siya ng 3k kay nilann as paunang bayad daw sa work visa, at kung lalabas daw ang visa may kulang pa na 3k + 2k na dagdag hinihingi niya sa mister ni nilann.
In short, ang binigay niya kay nilann ay tourist visa 28days lang, worth QR3,000 + Qr400(utang niya sa biktima)= QR3,400!!!
Kamahal namang tourist visa yan? sa travel agency Qr500/ lang. sa Airport Qr50/lang. Mag-ingat po kayo sa taong eto, at wag po kayo makuha sa mga matatamis niyang salita na kunyari tutulungan kayo. Hindi na rin siya makontak ni nilann, at umiiiwas na kung tawagan. Sa isang ordinaryong pinoy, malaking halaga na yung QR3,400.
Hmmm mare, isoli mo na ibang pera ni nilann, kausapin mo siya, kawawa naman yung tao pinangakohan mo ng work visa, may problema na nga siya niloko mo pa! Tigilan mo na rin mga kalokohan mo sa QL. Alam mong ikaw ang tinutukoy ko, kung mabasa mo eto sana makinig ka naman at tigilan mo na ang kalokohan mo at lalo na pagtotroll mo dahil reputasyon ng asawa mo ang nasisira kasi di bale na ikaw wala ka namang reputasyon kasi matagal ka nang walanghiya, kaya..... Magbago ka na!
Clue: Numero unong pinay troll.

ms. apple..is this an advisory? ...is this QLer troll you mean here have posted ads regarding visa processing, etc. here?
treysdad said
Mga kabayan (countrymen) ...Maging maingat po tayo at huwag basta paloko. Nasa website po ng Qatar Government ang mga dapat bayaran.
At magtanong po muna tayo bago tayo maniwala at magbitaw ng pera.
(Let's be careful and not get duped. The Qatar e-government websites contain the fees to be paid. Ask those in the know first before giving away your hard earned money)

allowed po ba tayong ...allowed po ba tayong pangalanan (kahit username lang) ang nabanggit na tao ni Apple? para po maiwasan natin ang mga ganito. gaya po ng sinabi ko sa last post ko, mabuti ng lumapit sa agency. well, in my case that's what i did to my cousins and parents who came here for vacation. lately po mahirap daw talaga kumuha ng visa. buti na lang i dont need it these days. baka next year na lang ulit.

Hi mga kabayan! ...nica--> As her known username, she didn't post an ads here at least to my knowledge, but she contacted the victim privately. Though, they never met in person yet til this very day but they communicate through text messages according to the victim. Hindi ko lang alam kung may ginagamit siyang ibang names para magpost ng ads niya? I consider her troll kasi lagi siyang punotdulo ng mga gulo dito sa QL lalo na sa fil-expat group.
treys--> The problem is, nilann already paid her initial deposit before she told me about their deal. Otherwise, I should have cautioned her.
glecs--> Nangigigil akong isulat ang pangalan niya dito, pero ayaw kong pangunahan si nilann sa desisyon niya. Anyway, i'm giving this link to nilann, and let's hear her says!
Regards.....

hindi ko muna sya papangalanan...iintayin ko ibalik kahit kalahati ng pera ko..baka makonsensya kahit konti..
alam ko mababasa mo ito...please balik mo naman kahit konti ng pera ko...maawa ka naman...ilang latang gatas na ng anak ko yan...at pede ko na yang ipang tuition ng anak kong mag aaral na sana pero hindi makapag enroll dahil kapos ako sa pera..dahil iniintay ko ang pangako mo na ibabalik mo ang pera ko nung nakaraang MAY...
