Fraudulent Case
I sold my car few days ago. The buyer paid some money and committed to pay rest of money within agreed timeline. But he always paying some moneys and giving me new timeline for the due amount. Still i will get some handsome amount of money from him. but for the few days he is not picking my phone call and i don't know his any trace.
i transferred ownership through metrash (mobile) and i m doubtful he transferred then to some other person, not to him. He introduced himself as Police man and working in Wakra office, though it is also doubtful to me now. Thinking him as Police man i also transferred by trust.
I don't know whether i will get my money back or not, but my intention is to stop this type of fraud people and want to highlight this to law enforcement team. I have all whatsapp communication regarding all negotiation and his commitment.
I would expect recommendation from respected QL fellow on the above, how can i approach this to concerned authority.
Thanks in advance to everyone.
Try to get a cheque as guaranty if he say no money. this will be a proof.
BD, Please avoid court cases, talk to the guy 3 times.

Keep the faith in our world, u will get the money, give him some more time.
A colleague of mine had a similar experience several years back when he bought a car from a rent-a-car company, paid the money and took the receipt. They told him he could come the next day and get the car transferred to his name. He then learnt the car was purchased through a bank loan and as such could get transferred as the loan needed to be cleared first. He kept running back and forth to the company for four months. Later, he approached the police. The police called the company several times and they kept promising that they will refund the money to the person. This went on for another two months. Finally, the police advised the person to lodge a case in the court of law. But by this time the company agreed to pay back the money in three installments, which they did.
In your case, you have no documentary proof of payment. However, you can go to the police headquarters near the Crazy Signal and possibly they may help you out by calling this person. The police may be able to trace the person through his mobile phone number that you have and a call or two from them may shake him up. Suggest you go to the police along with someone who speaks Arabic.
