Should we show sympathy or no ?
A few days back,I was entering Al Safeer Hypermarket after parking my car,a young man in a Land cruiser sitting with a lady called me from behind,he said " Please listen to me,I am not from Qatar,I live in Oman,I was returning from Saudi after performing Omrah,on the way my vehicle went out of order,all my money is spent in repairing it at Hafouf,I entered Qatar to take help from a friend who lives here but now I cant find him,
I need some monetary help, we are hungry will eat some food and buy petrol to reach back to Oman."
I said, alone I cant help you,this is 50 riyal,have some food and request other people, he took the money said thank you and drove away.
Interesting thing is that,yesterday I was sharing this experience with my colleagues,one of them told me the same thing happened with him one month before at Lulu parking area,same story-Land cruiser sitting with a lady,returning from omrah,live in Oman,need help for food and petrol,
But he did not give him any thing,
Should we show sympathy to such people ???????????/
as armyof1 says listen 2 our heart.. if v hav doubt in thm v shdnt ... else v can help ..as all know..God is seein evrythin.. v will get the reward frm God 4 our helpin mentality!! even if v r bein cheatd by thm...
hey! Armyof1
i am broke...send me 2000 QAR please!
We should show sympathy and tell them sorry we don't fall for these scams :)
Also beware of people who approach you and show you an empty packet of tablets and then say they need money for thier life saving medication.
it's all a scam!!!
They are just trying their luck to find gulible people who will give them money.
Why not give money to a recognised charity then you won't feel either guilty for not giving these hustlers money, or ripped off when you do.
normally when people came from saudia saudi people they use to do these kind of things i was way of my omerah i found one guy on petrol station near riyadh the same he asked me he i was going back to home and i forgot my vol
at home and can u give me some money for patrol he did'nt even thought that i am also in travel but i told him that come i fill for you then ran away bcz he had petrol in his car....:)
If someone saying that he is from oman so he must have car with oman no plate.and you can share the plate no to us to be carefull by them.
Thanks
its a scam!!!!!!....One hundred percent...I had the same thing at The Centre carpark about 8 months ago...they are making alot!!!!
it is just a business, easiest way to make money.
i had similar experience twice in lulu parking.
man, lady and two kids in a camry. same family and same story twice.
just ignore them.
Don't give them anything
I believe, it happens everywhere. I've been a victim of such thugs back in my country. I was kind of hypnotized and ended up losing Rs. 4,500/-
Guide them to Qatar Charity for assistance.
NO NO NEVER HELP THESE TYPE OF PEOPLE....I DONT DO ...I THINK ITS ALL DRAMA...IF YOU WANT TO HELP SOMEBODY PUT IN BOX...IN ANY STORE....BUT DONT GIVE BY HAND TO ANY ONE
they walk in to apartments
begging in a landcruiser sounds unique
dont give cash. give them some food thats way better.
It happened many time and once they came to our doorsteps asking for assistance.
I Think we should not believe them... It has happened before also in qatar.
LOL! Actually when I saw him about 3 months ago he was in a crap station wagon! If he's in a Land Cruiser now, begging must be going well!
Happened to so many people ... it was even discussed here at QL some time back.
u should have shown ur GUN to tat lady ...:)
Happened to my husband and I at Villagio. Guys full of sh**
Its a difficult question to answer...but to be at peace to oneself I can only say if done dont look back or else dont do it. Forget it then and there.
Similar episodes reported from many places across GCC not only Qatar. Its nothing but a scam.
