Recently i came across some of the fake adv of selling of cars on QL classified section.
I decided to get complete info behind this and so i started communication with them.
First i asked about car which was declared with very attractive price.
then the guy contact me over the mail and start explaining about why he was selling with low price. because he brought the car to other country where driving direction is reverse than qatar.
then i asked about shipping it to qatar and cost for that.
So he finally give some shipping company info and contact no. and he also expected by me to contact those guys as he is very much busy with his work schedule :) ( very funny )

kind of some adv are :

you can just check by yours and you will come to know what i am trying to say here.

Mod , i am not so techsavvy but do something to protect Qlers.

Thanks

Its a long standing demand do implement a system to verify Qatari mobile number with sms code before allowing them to post Adverts on this site...

Simple rule, if the person is not in Qatar do not deal with them. Read the QL guidelines.
