Be aware about a scam tourism company in Doha
Dear all,
Please, be warned about a scam tourism company located in Doha called '4 Seasons Marketing Travel'. I personally was a victim for their scam, and many others.
They are located in the admin. offices building, next to Home Center in Musherieb - 1st Floor.
They will try to offer you a time share in one of the resorts outside Qatar, provide you fake contract and ask you to pay an advance till the contract gets signed & attested from the respective country where the resort is located. Then they will inform you that some issues has occured and they won't be able to get the singed contract. Instead they will refund back the amount you paid in installments.
After many follow ups they will pay an installment then stop till you raise a police case (this will take over a year).
I've raised a police case, contacted the chamber of commerce, consumer protection department, Qatar tourism Authority, and till now I've not got my money back (more than QAR 6000).
Just wanted to highlight this for others, as this scam company is still operating till now despite of many people being victims of it!!!
Would appreciate if anyone provide an advice on such case.
Thanks
