What can you say about these advertisers who offers cheap prices such as iPhone5 or Samsung S4 providing their contact numbers abroad and their gmail, skype, hotmail etc...

Oh, and they always do offer Buy 2 Get 1 Free.

I thinks it's a FRAUD... JUST A WARNING!

Be careful who you're dealing with.

FRAUDER's are all around and they never stop!

I am also surprised why QL isn't taking any serious action against them?

How do they sign in with fake mobile numbers?

and if the numbers are correct, its easy to catch them.

These people don't communicate by calling. they just reply by email and ask for advance money to be sent by western union. totally fake.

isn't it?

easiest to know the fake ad:

1- Don't rely if you see the ad with "UNLOCKED" mobile because most of the phones selling in Qatar are already unlocked.

2- if you see the Skype id is mention in ad (why do you make Skype call if they have valid tel/mobile number?)

Always remember

Quick Tip: Make Sure the Seller is in Qatar by checking for a local phone number and don't ever buy anything listed in $.

They have been freely doing this on QL and I think the local authorities like municipality, ministry of business & trade, etc shall take some measures to stop this.
