Advertisements claiming to sell things from abroad are generally scams. If the sellers aren't in Doha, don't even bother.

These are fake adds...Its nothing just a different face of email lottery/loto that you won $50000000...so as our friends mentioned above dont do any kind of business untill unless you see them infront of you...

NEVER....

Don't buy until u see a Qatar Contact Number & meet the person.

These ads are scams.
