Real Estate SCAM, BE AWARE "NANA GROUP"
I have got scames by NANA GROUP, for the below ad in Qatar Living:
If you see this ad, do not go there, they have got about 90K QR from me in advance, when I felt that something is suspicious about what is going there, I returned my contract, and got a check, and there is no balance in the bank account.
the way they are advertising on Qatar living is strange, they are creating accounts and ads, then delete the accounts and ads after a couple of hours, they have it under different names, A_M_A , wait_realestate, meno_meno25 .....
After calling them, they said I have to talk with NANA GROUP, as they are just renting the building for her... but I know that they are partners....
Here is the Ad., I will wait for a couple of days than will go to the police, however people told me it will take time, specially if I am suing a Qatari Girl....

Hello friends any luck with the cheater lady, is there anything we can discuss to get our hard earn money back okamalo I think you called me once please do call whenever you are free
Note:- We need to pull this Waits group in the case, as we all paid upon advice and rush to this guy Mohammed Amin
Hello, just wanna inform all, if anybody need ID copy of Mazna Alhajri, i am holding her ID copy.
That is so alarming.I wish that they will be penalized for it.
Man i got the same problem with Nana Group I am working in X Travel & Tours, she came & she took business class tickets to Dammam, she paid by cheque, she said that the 2nd day she'll come & replace the cheque with cash. One week later i deposit the cheque & no funds in the account. So, am suing her to the court now. I warned her several times but she doesn't care, & i send her more then ten messages, every time i am trying to call her she'll turn off her mobile, so this's the best thing 2 do with such people.
If u want to contact somebody, just contact the owner of Nana Group.
I know that she's the owner as i am holding copy of computer ID
& copy of her national ID
Name: Mazna Madi KH M Al-hajri (As per ID)
ID # : 28463402102
Mobile # : 6799130
who ever having case with her you can contact her through her mobile, but be sure she'll never answer, or if she answered & she knows who's calling, she'll never answer again & she'll turn off her mobile.
Hello Okamalo I would like to discuss on subject I have already file the case but no calls yet this lady is really a big cheat further please do contact me on 6086359

Everyone has a contract with NANA Group should expect that, this is how they are making money (Mazna and Mohamed), get 1 year in advance, and stop paying the owner after few months.
I have just got some information about her:
- there are over 100 case against her
- total amount of cases checks is reaching 20 million QR, yes twenty million, not a typo.
- she was in jail 2 weeks ago, and they released her after paying 1500QR fine.
so I guess the police is doing nothing, and will do nothing.I already have contact details for 6 victims including myself:
"Francis, Osama, Ahmed, Tamer, Simon, Diaa", and I am willing to coordinate our efforts and arrange for a meeting to discuss a group action.
If you are interested please PM me with your name and phone number, and I will get back to you after the vacation.
We have a contract with nana group since june and nw we recievd a notice that we should leave the house b4 jan 2009. We paid 1 year advance and we r at a big loss!
please update hw u r doing wid ur case because we r going to file 1 soon.
hello Friends,
This is to inform you that the real estate has published the ad again and giving the same tele phone number please refer to below, AND PLS POST THIS ON MAIN PAGE I DONT KNOW TO POST COMEON LETS SAFE OTHER PEOPLE GETTING IN TO THEIR GAME

I will have to wait for another 2 week, I am currently discussing a settlement agreement with them.
Hello Friends what a silence lets break the silence any update we can’t leave our hard earned money guys lets wakeup
silence lets break the silence any update we can’t leave our hard earned money guys lets wakeup
Hello friends,
Any update, when and where are we getting together to go to gulf news office, did anybody manage to get the money, This lady still she is not answerring the call, we all need to pull this agent. The agent knew where she is and they are talking every day, the reason I knew this is.
She did not answer to my calls, and she does'nt knew that I am in the office of agent, and she called on the agent Phone (Mohammed Amin)and the story goes on...., therefore, we need to tell the police to catch M.Amin to find where Mazna is
All The best Friends
aisha... you're quite right...
open... why did you gave the money without any assurance?
i dont understand, how this guy had talked to you and convinced you to give the money without anything..
I think police cought her, her phone is closed now, we need to pull this agent in to case, can we file the case with this sales manager who is involved with her and i am bit sure this guy knew where this mazna is
please leave me a message so as to meet and arrange to go to news paper
I have nothing concrete against "Wait RealEstate", all papers and checks have the name of NANA Group. All I can do is filing a case with the bounced check, which I did. That is it.
For my case, my lawyer advised me not to go for a fraud case, it will cost money and the probability of winning it is minimal.
I do not know about the other guys, but it is a good idea to go to the newspapers together, drop me an email to arrange for that.
Mark, go to the Capital Police near the airport, ask for the Checks devision, file a complaint, you have only 30 days if the check is bounced.
Guys come together and approach the police. Also, visit Gulf times office in a group requesting them to publish this news, take all documents copy like returned check, contract etc.
Police will not come to u neither will the media, you have to goto them...its your hard earned money dont let any crook get away with it.
what is procedure to book the case, and pull both of them Agent and Nana group. Is there any time limit? if the check is return from bank due to no balance. Do we have to file the complain to police, contact lawyer and file case in court etc...
Honestly we all should book the case on wait real estate I think sales manager is involved with Nana Group, he is the one who encourage and rush to pay the money to Nana Group, all the blame and claims of responsibility of getting money back should be on wait real estate, what do you think friends?? pls advise and lets join our hands to get our hard earned money
Please advise
1)open2008 said Did not go to the Police, ...
Did not go to the Police, can not post the update on public, but all what I can say is that the Qatari girl is wanted by the police, they can not find her, there are several cases against her,
2)the police is looking for her, just go to the police station and ask if they know "Mazna Al Hajri".
over 20 cases in the court, and 10 police report that will be added to the court list.
how do you know that the police is looking for her and that she has 20cases in the court,if you never went to the police? how can you still have that much time to stay on the computer posting comments if you lost 90k? i think you should be crazy running to and from the police station.i am not sure if your story is true, i do hope its not, cus if it is, iam very sorry for you. good luck to you and hope this story did not happend.
Trofy, this is the whole true story, she is not arrested even after more than 20 case against her.
It seems that Open2008 says this happens alot! Hey, Doha is not all that big. Surely the Police are able to quickly get hold of these guys, when a complaint is finally made.
I assume you got the id details of the person you handed the 90k over to. He won't be able to run far.
PK
its really sad that people are losing their hard earned money to frauds, this should be exposed and published in news papers...
I agree with you smartbuddy but our frined her are not tilling the holl story becuse as you minssion erlier checks crimes are treted serusly as pear qatar cintral bank policy.
and remember one thing...low evrywear does not protact..fooooooo
double post due to connection problem
its really sad that people are losing their hard earned money to frauds, this should be exposed and published in news papers...
Mark, Can u contact his sponsor?
...............damn!!..........itz reallly sad guyz :(............
Mark, they are all work together, this is an organized crime.
sky-rocketing 90k in advance? Ha-ha!
cheers,
paul
And here is another victim, count me in...:(
Did this guy got any of his payment out of 90K? and how about wait real estate, the egyptian guy there is good or he is also involved, or should we contact his sponsor or ?? and pull him the into case as we know his office etc..

The only way to is to sue them, this is a clear Fraud case, if you would like to join us, let me know.
Yes I am Pls advise what shall i do now? any idea about wait real estate
thx
There is no proof, beside the cost of hiring a lawyer to handle such case, which is about 20K, add to this the time it will take to get a final decision by the court, that might take 2 years.
What if I can take half of my money in 1 month? there is no justice in this country......
Open2008 have you heard of the word 'accomplice'. You can file case against the other partner and hold them as an accomplice to the crime. You just need to prove it.
Not yet, no progress, I know around other 5 people with different problems, only one person managed to get half of his money.
Mark, are u a victim? :)
Is there any other case here with Nana Group? Would like to know does he solved his problem of collecting 90k back if yes please let us know how
She already has tons of cases, and bounced checks, I was trying to negotiate with them, but no success, so I will report to the police after the weekend.
The main problem is with the guys renting the building for her "Wait Group", they are partners, but can not sue them as all papers signed by the Qatari girl....
u wrote:
1) "I will wait for a couple of days than will go to the police, however people told me it will take time, "
2) Just imagine that you have been ripped of for almost 90K QR, and let me know what is your feeling...
If u are ripped of the amount u mentioned then whats stopping u from going to the police and filing a case?
A bouncing check is a big offence in Qatar, whats holding u back from filing a case? People told me this and people told me that has no meaning........
Simply file a case of bouncing check.
It it's too good to be true have doubt!
Smartbuddy, the police is looking for her, just go to the police station and ask if they know "Mazna Al Hajri".
over 20 cases in the court, and 10 police report that will be added to the court list.
And her family is not supporting her, they are just leaving her without being arrested.
Just imagine that you have been ripped of for almost 90K QR, and let me know what is your feeling...
i am surprised because if she comes from a Reputed and large family and is a Qatari, she will not indulge in such cheap things which are normally done by expatriates to earn extra income.
I don't believe or rather i am not convinced about your story hence maybe the case that u have not approached the police urself and just laying allegations against someone, with hidden motives only known to u.
She is Qatari, and she is well known for the police, they said they are looking for her, but they really do not, as her family is a famous and large one here....
be aware my dear
don't easily trust, just inquire first
holy sh*t!..
-- F L A M M A B L E --
how u are so sure that the girl is qatari, all arabic speaking/dressing people need not be qatari.
Did not go to the Police, can not post the update on public, but all what I can say is that the Qatari girl is wanted by the police, they can not find her, there are several cases against her, and the checks with her company name is worth nothing as the company is a limited liability, if they went bankrupted, people will eat the checks.... weird story for a country like Qatar, these people know what they are doing...

any updates on your case, open2008? did you contact the office? the owner? did you move into your flat? what's going on there?
Please keep this posting up, so everyone can see it, they are still advertising on the building. Also if anyone has an idea to warn other people, please share it.
its actually stupid to pay rental in cash in advance, such ads always smell suspicious, specially because its from real estate agents or middleman.
a proper owner, real estate company will make a contract and only ask for pd cheques....
thank you.sorry for your case. and good luck!
I just want to send a warning message to everyone here, I will do all what I can do for sure.
Excuse me but as far as I know it is illegal in qatar to give q cheque with no balance, and it is one of the few things they dont go soft about here! I think you have to go to the bank and try to cash it in 3 times after which you can go to the police and whoever gave you the cheque that bounced will be arrested immediatelly!
aahhh.. so this is the story. then it's not just suspicious. so i would say call the police. this is the only way.
maybe you overreact? listen, this kind of stuff is happening in qatar all the time. i mean they don't know what they are doing. they can give you key of someone's else flat very easy. the watchman is too lazy to be there, he prefer to sleep.nobody wants to fix an A/C in any place. you can wait for the maintenance for few days even in Beverly Hills tower. so why wouldn't you either go to the office where you signed the contract or try to contact the owner?
try to calm down ( i would be mad by now though!)and good luck
I am not in the flat, I did not receive the keys even after 2 weeks the contract starting date. so I asked for my money, and they gave me a check..... with zero balance.
I signed it in the office.
There is another suspicious issue, when I was in the building last week, I met someone complaining that when he got his keys and opened the apartment, he found someone else inside. they said to him, it is a mistake, we will give u another apartment.
The owner is a Qatari "Shiekha", I do not know how to reach her, but will try.
i don't know what to do. i perhaps would go nats by that time. try to call the police. but to be honest,i don't think they will do anything. as i understasnd you live in the flat which you rented. police will do nothing only based on your feelings. not changing the a/c is not a crime.
here people get away even with much bigger crimes .try to contact the owner. that's all i can think of
can you contact the owner? can you talk to him open?
i didn't say it. i say, before i gave to someone this amount, i probably would think: am i an idiot to give him 90 K?
was it at the office at least? did you sign the contract at the office? or just with some of those 'street bags',who rents and re-rents and re-rents for hundreed times?
I am an idiot ....
i don't know.
1. -in my building no watchman either
2. - here nobody answer the phones when you need them
3 & 4 - this is qatar, baby. I bought NEW LG a/c from the 'respected' store. The a/c got broken in 3 days, and i had to follow them and to beg them to fix/change my a/c for over two weeks IN JULY!!! this is QATAR. who f* cares about doing right their business??
but to be honset i would never give 90k to someone from the street. am i an idiot?
and they have several cases like this before, so it is not the 1st time for NANA Group to scam people, but I do not have info from other people.
The owner of the building is renting it to company X, then company X re-rent it to NANA Group, and I signed the contract with NANA, while Wait Real Estate is marketing the apartment for NANA.
1- no watchman in the building
2- no one is answering his phone (spend 2 days to get in contact with someone)
3- no one to call for maintenance
4- they did not keep their promise of fixing the A/C for 2 weeks
5- they have originally offered the apartment for 5500 (2BR SF), then they increased it to 6500
6- met 3 other people have the same exact suspicious, but did not talk then.
7- last Friday someone came to the building and change all the apartment's locks, lately I knew that the owner did not get his 2nd check, so he changed all the locks.
more to come...
who did you sign the contract with?
so will they run away with your 90K or what? just go to police then
The story is not yet finished, just called someone who knows these guys, and here is the story:
they rent a building for 1 year, pay 12 checks, for let us say 10,000 QR /month/aprt , then they re-rent it again for 6,500 QR/month/apt one year in advance.
The next step is not to pay the rent to the owner, so the tenants will have a problem with the owner, and it will end up with the tenants out of apartment.
True story, ....
so if you do want to move into appartment, can you still do it as per agreement? what suspicious did you feel?
hesitate in going immediately to the police if what you say has happened.
Haven't you seen someone asking for one year in advance before?
check the newspaper and QL classifieds section, it is not common, but it is there.
Aisha. he could register with QL 48 min ago, but could been reading QL for over a year.
and yes, iknow about this practice. that's why they give you a 2-br flat for 6500 instead of 8000. a whole sale.
LOL.
i think he has to find these guys and get his money back. or just to move into this flat as per the agreement.
people that read the forum and are not members Aisha.
At the moment there are 162 users on line and 2209 guests.
Odd story though I agree.
The price was 6.5K for a 10K worth apartment.
I am new to QL but have been in Qatar for a year
This is a very strange story. Why would you pay 1 year in advance? Predated checks and deposit yes, but 1 whole year?????
Also you have been a QLer for only 48min. How do you know about this so called scam. Seen the place, gave them 1 year payment and know that yopu got ripped off all that in 48 min. Are you Superman? Please tell me your secret. I would love to cram 1 week of action into 48 min.
Aisha-Taweela
it is a loan... now, I have to work for free
90K in advance???? You've got more money than sense!!!
