How can I stop these guys ?
In my search for family accommodation, I came across many of the guys and ladies, they are posting such misleading advertisement, one can only end up being a stupid travelling all the way to have a look and finalize.
For e.g they write, spacious 2 rooms, and when you visit its 1 room and they say its an hall and u can make partition and make it 2. Wat d crap it is ? I know petrol is cheaper here in Qatar, but a person's time worth something.
I urge all the agents specially Indian & Keralites, stop posting such scams, and be a gentleman and post the actual situation of the article u want to sale or rent out, bcoz your scam will not last long, when person will visit you. So please stop it !
I am also Indian part of Kerala and it is true that major sub agents are Keralites are making money out of house partition. I also faced these problems a lot, the main problem of scarcity of accomodation due to Real estate agents and these sub-brokers(mainly keralites) you will laugh if you see kitchen there will be corner of staircase and one sink and a water pipe will lay in air, this is called kitchen?!! But dont think all Keralites are doing the same. It is like you say all Arabs are bad becasue of few Arabs doing bad things to Asians.
i tel u what to do listen next time if any thing like this happens to u give a good punch on his nose who is telling u like this and run away coz there wil be police case after if u wil stop like this he wil delete that post forver and wil post the thing which he has :P
Ask them to come and pick you up and show around because you don't have car....that way they will come only if they have what you are looking for.
here it is, listen all agents... i am going to call police next time i paid my visit to a scam advertiser, i will be there and let the police scold you behind the bar. So beware !
Damm.... its Happened to me also, I dont know why these malayalies are doing this kind of shit.
call the police on the spot.
Ha ha ha,
Why I loughing, I also faced the same thing during my search and puzzeld. I stoped searching and continuing to stay where I was. I was looking for single accomodation.
Brother, pls don't say to all Indians because of Kerlites. These people are doing business by doing all this partions and etc.
I went to see a flat in Najma, it was simply 2 room flat but by partions it was made 4 room and same for the bathroom too one bathroom was made by plywood only.
The owner/ Main Tenent was also staying, you know where? ON THE Coridor/ passage, he put his single cot there and stayiing happely, yah you are right he was teacher and from the famous place KERLA.
The saddest thing is that, the property doesn't belong to them, and the local guy who is d owner is least bother about it. This gives them a free license to do watever they want.
And this is not the first time, I had similar experiences in Bahrain and UAE, I wish there can be a law to stop this cheap practice, by making it illegal to be a freelance agent.
I fully agree with you, I too have been a victim of these thugs who have no license, no morals and the moment the deal is done they just vanish leaving you with a cupboard full of skeltens. Just report them to police if you really find them cheating.
But please dont point out at one particular nationality and be a racist, there are agents of all nationality doing this business.
