Hi!(Sorry my english its bad sometime)
Me and my husband go to the wholesale market this morning.A guy come next to us and speak to us. I dont understand all the «blabla» thing he said, but he show us his arms (disgusting).There was an injury in infection and all the kit,very disgusting.He asked for money and start to crying (if its true).My husband gave him money, and he tell he need 500 QR.My husband say no. We think he was lying. There was a paper on the injury,its was clean of nothing. And he go away after that,like nothing happens. Did it happens to you????

i think same guy at the City Center but I refuse to give cash rather i offered a drink and sandwhich (lol) but he refuse, he was telling me he needs cash to buy medicine, unfortunately i dont have cash in my wallet. i think he can go to his respective embassy for assistance if this is really true, i dont think beggars are allowed here in doha. anyhow, we still tried to at least help him in our own little way, it's all up to him if was fake.

Same here. Came out of Applebees at Ramada with a few friends and were greeted by an elderly chap ravaging on about cancer or something and showing us his arm where a large gash was oozing a white substance. Then he showed us his chest and stomach and we saw what appeared to be slash marks or something. The guy started crying so we gave him a few riyals. As soon as we did that, he stopped crying, turned, and walked away. A few minutes later, we saw him with a couple of friends at a bus stop.... laughing.... what the hell?

Hi, i think that's the same guy who beg money to us at a parking lot in Old Airport. I tried to grab his hand just to check his wound on his arm but he refused. Also, same thing happened to me at a supermarket parking lot in Mansoura area a guy showed up and started to cry showing his wound on the left side of his stomach. I don't have any idea if it is a fake or not but i did the same thing just like everybody did, i gave cash.

GOODNESS, i was so shock, imagine you are in the showroom suddenly a man exactly as you described pop in front of you just like that & not speaking at all only action and showing his papers :( the manager came out give some money and he accompanied him outside...

I did met that guy with medical peripherals on his pants, telling he is sick and asking for money. Our company driver and I gave money but not much, just to get rid of him.

Now I knew he is fake.

I saw him about 3 weeks ago with injury on arm, looks bad, but if still has same injury something must be up?

A lot of people was giving him money so surely he could have gotten some treatment?
