Do what you are here for.
Beware of frauds..
a person has approached my friend for some money for doing some business. He has given reasons that he lost his job and going to deal with iron and copper. He convinced my friend and took the money.
The money is lost for sure.
The person approaches the parents of his son or daughter or such people whom he meets while socialising.
Beware and dont lend any money to any of your countrymen.
We are here to do our work and be honest to the Country.
I fully agree with the comments made by Tandursih. True these incidents make us to lose interest in helping friends, colleagues or other really needy fellas in future.
This kind of incidents are curse for those who are really in need...... :(
These are all serves us as lessons for our future.
TRY TO PROVIDE SERVICE INTEAD OF MONEY
We have wasted our 4000/- as he promised to pay it back home during vacation...he said he is short of riyals now, but has a sizable bank balance there. I was suspecting something fishy, but my hubby couldn't refuse him... and finally lost... But there are some genuine cases as well…and our little help can do a lot for someone in real need.
I am glad that you people have the honesty of disclosing this very sad reality of Indian community in Doha. Most of these crooks pick on their own countrymen because they tend to trust their own country people easily, and secondly, they are very less likely to make a police complaint against their own community member. But fellas, make it a point to report these incidernces. You are not doing any favour to your own countries image by not re[porting them.
Well I had faced similar experiences too. One of working family from Andhra (husband n wife work as salesman and housemaid respectively) borrowed QR. 4,000/- from me 2 years back promising to repay the loan within 3 months. Even after 2 years they have no intention to pay back loan. Every 6 months they keep changing their SIM Cards. Another two minor cases I lost QR. 250/- (lent to Keralite known guy) and QR. 150/- (lent to a messenger working in bank).
One of my taxi driver was from Kerala,India.He went back 2 months back to his home and took 1000 qrs from me..till date no news of him and his friends told me that he already took money from others too..Now what?For u and me it is hard earned money but for these morons it is free money....ok
One of my taxi driver asked me for 1000 2 months back and he told me that he is going back to Kerala to have some surgery in his left hand....Although I was earning in very tough conditions still I trusted him and gave him 1000 Qrs..But till date I have called him on his India number and in starting he picked up fone and talked to me but now he is least bother to reply or to tell me that when he is coming back..Dont trust any body who is asking for money.U and me earned it hardway for these kind of cheap people it is free money...ok..
