Yet another big money fraud with families is in the cooking in Doha
A private marketing company has opened their office on the Bank Street Doha. This company is into secretly and illegally buying/stealing of the filled raffle coupons from several hyper markets in Doha. Through these coupons they target and contact the families one by one by informing them that they have won free air tickets and dinner sets in one of the hyper markets raffles, therefore they should come to their office for collection in the evening after 5 pm.
When the families arrive, they find an office with several young boys and girls asking for personal information of the people in separate meetings. and when they have enough information, they lastly ask for the bank account information and the credit card and finally convince the people to sign a form for instant money transfer from their accounts to their (company's) off shore account in order to allow the big and free benefits of holidays/traveling, five star hotels and several other big prizes worth millions. This money is treated as non refundable and ranges between Qar. 10,000 to Qar. 20,000 per family. Remember there is no real raffle won by the family, it is a total lie and is to lure the family into the trap only.
Such a company has robbed hundreds in Dubai and now they are in Doha. They are mainly targeting Asian and non Arab families and have a team of very well trained boys and girls speaking different languages in the guise of marketing people.
This is a challenge to the "Consumer Protection Department", because if it remains unchecked the people would soon be crying for millions robbed off.
They are so well trained that even the non idiots can succumb to their pressure and tactics. When your family receives a call that you have won a hyper market raffle then everyone would believe because that is a normal practice in Doha.
Another amazing thing is, how can the hyper markets sell and pass on the raffle coupons with the information of their customers illegally that is running in thousands. As a matter of rule they need to dispose off the unsuccessful coupons after their draws, without passing on to such fraudulent people who are targeting Qatar owing to its affluent hype in the world.
