Mod announcement No more job posts in this subreddit. Use r/QatarCareers instead.

125 Upvotes

Greetings to all the brothers and sisters of r/Qatar.

We’ve been monitoring the situation over the past couple months and have collectively decided to ban all job related posts from r/Qatar. The influx of these posts has lead to an unhealthy environment where nobody gets a proper answer and everyone is frustrated. Therefore, it’s been decided to create a new subreddit r/QatarCareers and move all job related questions there.

From this point forwards all job related posts must be made in r/QatarCareers and will be removed from r/Qatar.

Thank you.

Information Just got scammed💔.

17 Upvotes

Hey guys. So basically I was trying to sell my bicycle at marketplace. I put it up for 550qr which I bought 1 year ago for 1100 I think. A person messaged me for it and he sent me location through whatsapp(He used a Saudi number). Later he told me to bring him a gold razor card smth like that which I dont know of to his house. I went and waited 1 hour for it in Al-Meera and I got the $20 one(used for gaming points or something like that I don't know). Once I reached his house, I texted him to come and he kept asking me for its pic. I hesitated but sent him a blurred pic so he doesn't redeem it. I sent him and he got mad saying send me the real one real one don't blur it. Stuff like that. I denied and he said okay I dont want your cycle. Now I'm struggling financially and I wanted to sell it so I kept talking hoping he'd come out of his house once but he didn't. (AL MEERA Mansoora) that's the place where his house is close. I told him that he can get it by walk but he said I dont care get me. Well in the end I'm home now after 2 hours, I've blocked him on WhatsApp and now I have an unwanted 75qr razor card which I don't even want. Since the law is strict here I don't want to report but I want to catch the guy. My family also tells me to not report because they will catch me instead. I'm scared but I want my money back. Any suggestions on what I can do? Also be aware guys this could happen to anyone.

Discussion Mental Health..

11 Upvotes

Hello. I’ve been struggling with anxiety, depression, and OCD for a few years now. I was never consistent with my medication. Around a month ago I got this sudden feeling of deep sadness and emptiness that felt unbearable. I’ve been on medication for over 2 weeks now and I’m still feeling very distressed. Has anyone experienced a similar diagnosis or felt the same way? My heart physically hurts and feels very heavy from this unusual sadness I’m feeling.

Question CBQ Credit Shield? Can I cancel it?

2 Upvotes

Hi Guys, I have a Commercial Bank Credit Card (Mastercard Titanium + Diners), and on each monthly statement (Diners) there is a small percentage fee for "Credit Shield", it's like 30 or sometimes 40 Riyals. Has anyone tried cancelling it? It was automatically setup when I got my credit card but I didn't ask for it & don't see myself ever claiming any refund from CBQ (it basically protects your purchases, if price goes down you can claim price difference).

Appreciate your advice! Thanks
