ATTENTION !! MOBILE PHONE SCAMS - QATARLIVING
Hello All
Always REMEMBER : IF a deals sounds too good to be true, then the deal is certainly a scam !!
Pls exercise tremendous caution when purchasing phones from international sellers, using the qatar living website.
There are many scam sellers here who try to post fabulous mobile phone deals. These sellers are always based OUT OF QATAR and they ask you to SEND money to them.
PLS DO NOT EVER SEND MONEY TO ANY SELLER WHO DOESN'T SEEM LEGITIMATE.
Note these points :
Look at the attachments to see pictures of these scam artists in action !
1)
There are many sellers who claim to sell latest phones like Samsung S3 and IPHONE 4s for just QR 1500. They have offers of BUY 2 , get 1 FREE ! Let me ask you, can you tell me the name of 1 genuine retailer who offers 3 phones for $800 !!!It just isn't possible ! No way. They claim that they are genuine sellers. But if you ask them for an internet web site address of their company, they claim that their website is under repair !!!
2) Then these sellers send emails using yahoo and gmail. Now ask your selves, which genuine sellers use internet and yahoo email. Why don't they use their company email addresses ? Dont trust ANY SELLER who claims to work for a company that neither has a website nor an email server.
3) To seem genuine, These scammers post UK BASED telephone numbers which are call forward numbers. Note : These numbers may be based in UK, but the calls can be forwarded to any number in the world.
4) In my research , i have identified the following scam artists on qatar living. BE AWARE OF THEM !!!
SCAM #1)
Qatar Living ID : mohamedsaheedkair
EMAIL : [email protected]
SKYPE ID : mobilephoneslimited
TYPE OF SCAM : They claim to sell SAMSUNG s3 for QR 1500 ! Additionally, they claim to have a buy one get one offer !!!!
SCAM #2)
Qatar Living id : [email protected]
Skype ID: macurs6
TYPE OF SCAM : They claim to sell SAMSUNG s3 for low prices !!
Always remember, it is impossible for any honest retailer to sell latest phones like Samsung S3, or Iphone 4s for prices which are below the cost of manufacturing.
You must always buy from QATAR BASED sellers ONLY and that too, ONLY after visually inspecting the product !
If such companies provide contact phone numbers, you might try to look the number up on http://www.tellows.com or http://tellows.co.uk - depending on the country you live. It should work woldwide, though. It´s an anti-scam and anti-spam website where everyone can leave comments on suspicious numbers. Basically it's free reverse number search. Turned out to be the best spam prevention everytime I was receiving these cold calls.
were you a victim?
All i am getting is QL is turning into a site of scammers in classifieds and trollers (hope its grammatical correct, if wrong who cares) in forums ... no backups or links for news, bashing races ...and making fun for no reason....
hmmm what more to come
if there is a local contact number then ok......
What else ...
