I was swindled by a member of QL
Dear QL members,
I was very shocked by the behavior of a member of QL.
I posted my classified adv on QL in the hope to find an apartment and I specified what I'm looking for in detail (Budget, rooms...)
I was very happy when I received PM answering my request... after few calls we agreed to meet to see the apartment. (The person on the other side of the line seemed to be friendly and very helpful!!!)
Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it and my husband went alone to meet that guy, who, apparently, was not happy to see a man….
We agreed to see 3 apartments, it remained only one and the price jumped from. 8500 to 13000 ^o)
I’m sorry if some of you find this topic banal but I couldn’t find an explanation/excuse for this behavior!!!!!!!!!!!!!
like any other internet website, some desperate people (READ MEN) here too are simply after girls. Its a very simple thing .. not some rocket science to understand. u should just ignore them as they are all around here and there.
Hi All QL members,
Please beware of the advert(on QL) below.I want to beleive it's another scam in the making going by the salary and other info.CAVAET EMPTOR!!!

and he didn't have his business card when my husband met him
I told him that I'm ready to pay one year in advance and he will get a commission.
But I think he was expecting to meet a single woman not a married one... well, I think he was disappointed :-)
I would feel the same way if I were in your shoes at that time...might have him bashed by the "mafia" (hehehe..just kidding).
I knwo there's a lot of "kabayans" posting similar ads...you may yet to get a better luck next time. :-)
i think telling us about abdelhamid just like common name in Qatar. Like everybody / everyone call Muhammad or Abdullah. Probably you can give more detail who is he working for? and what nationality? or probably his physical appearance.
these house agent are really unscrupulous ... it is hard to find a decent one. Most agent have the list of the allowance of the main big company. Like Shell, Exxon, Maersk etc. Dont be surprise if the first thing they ask you is who your husband working for. If your husband working for a company who not generous for giving the housing allowance, they will tell you that they will call you back (and of course you will never hear from you again).
Nowadays it is hard to find a good house agent who not just care for their commission (spelling?).
i wish u all the best for your house hunting :-)
I was really chocked but after writing these lines I'm relieved
abdelhamid
but there's a lot of ads here in QL and since everyone and "any" one could register at QL, you may not know what to expect from the people you will meet.
Be careful next time...cheers.
FDM ... who is that member? Pls tell the other fellow members on QL ... so you save the pain happening to others who looking for acommodation too.
