Accommodation agent abused QL Rules
There are agent floating all over QL promoting business for their own benifits, they are not acually license real estate agent but personal claimed agent promoting huge return for no expenses incured. Almost everyday their names appear in QL advertisement that somehow added again to inflation for a country already affected and an individual family suffer a lot of paying high rents caused by these fake self proclaimed agent. We welcome the owner of the building to promote their accommodation so that we can deal with them directly with no added percentage. As a test we called one owner of a villa , turned out to be agent asking me for 15000QR but if I give him one month commission , he will give the villa for 14000 only ! So I expect the real owner must have lower rent value than his. Its very clear folks that this scheme is promoting suffering for an individual family and to the community as a whole.
My question is whats the rule of moderator on this individual accommodation advertisement knowing it is a violation of advertisement rules...for all Dear QL member whats your opinion ?
i wouldn't call it spam even.. this agen doesn't do anything illegal, does he?
It's the problem of qatari rules and laws in Real Estate in general.. if law allows this agent to do such things why wouldn't he? and as for ethical side of this activities.. ha.. who cares, when it comes to money?

"We welcome the owner of the building to promote their accommodation so that we can deal with them directly with no added percentage." Does the owner of this building NEEDS your welcoming? Does he care about you, or about the agent at all? All he needs is a certain amount every month in his pocket. that's it... and again since there is NO proper law and regulations regarding this matter, WHO'S TO BLAME??

Click the 'flag as scam/spam' link under the ad to bring it to the moderators attention. As baldrick says, it's unlikely the mods are working full time to check everything that's posted.
I'm sure the moderators would welcome any suggestion you have to reduce the number of bogus agents, but I doubt they have the time to check the credentials of every single advertiser on QL.
