IMPORTANT NOTICE

Hi Friends
Three weeks back we went to Pizza Hut near Airport next of Asiana Restaurant and one Bangladeshi boy happened to stop us all of a sudden near the parking (it was around 9:30 pm) and begged us to buy the small perfume bottle (something like Oudh) saying he has no money to eat and is surviving by selling the perfumes. And we gave him QR. 15/-. He told us to smell and take any one, but we just took one without taking the smell (though the kids wanted to smell, we didn't open to smell it).
As we don't like the smell of the perfume, we just kept in the car (now at home) and thought of giving it to one of the labourers in Lancy's office.
And today at office, I received the below email from our Manager (forwarded by one of the QP colleague) and was shocked after reading. Just want all of you to be careful and don't make the mistake we did. Thank God we did not give the perfume to anyone as yet. I haven't told Lancy yet as he is not back from office. I don't know how far the below is true. but I guess there are people unemployed who would like to do anything for money.
The below is as received...
Important notice please read DANGER in DOHA
PLEASE SPREAD THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN, HELP SAVE LIVES OF OTHERS.
READ CAREFULLY
PEOPLE IN DOHA SHOPPING MALLS AND CROWDED STREETS (like: National area, Najma, industrial area and Al Wakra) might approach you to buy a perfume if you refuse they may still insist you try the sample smell. The smell has a killing gas, which will eventually kill you .
Reported by the Qatar government and Qatar police, 18 people have already died and 35 are still in hospital.
Please pass this message around to everyone you know, or may know via e-mail.
They spoke about it live yesterday.
Beware: do not, I repeat, do not smell any perfumes from any random people outside, unless they are from authorized agents in proper perfume stores.

We saw a man in maybe his ...We saw a man in maybe his sixties,selling artificial jewellery in the parking lot of Lulu. We did'nt want the jewellery and just gave him 10 Riyals.
We saw few people giving money, without taking the jewellery from him. He must be earning quite some money every evening. But you just cannot walk away in peace, ignoring them too.
Begging is banned in India. You dont see as many beggars as before when you go for vacation, nowadays.
