Comment / ReviewWe were contacted by Mr Mohammed Hassan of the company LOCTAQ TRADING LIMITED based in Doha (Qatar) with a request for a quote.

The scam consisted of sending a very large purchase order (in our case almost EUR 1 million) with the promise to pay everything immediately in advance.

The scammer then sends an email saying that the bank has blocked his payment because he needs the Certificate of Good Standing and Quality of the product.

He also warns that we have to contact the AGENCY FOR GOOD STANDING, QUALITY & STANDARDS ADMINISTRATION for the attention of Dr. Munira Dawoud to start the procedure for obtaining the certificate.

When we contacted the AGENCY FOR GOOD STANDING, QUALITY & STANDARDS ADMINISTRATION we were told that we would have to pay $2,105 to obtain the certificate.

This agency does not exist and to export to Qatar that certificate is not required.

So if we had paid we would have lost that money.

For confirmation we contacted the authorities in Qatar and they confirmed that he is a known scammer and to stop all contact with him.

        We received the same e-mail from salimghazi267@gmail.com, asking to become our distributor in Qatar and requesting a quotation for a very big order.
        Below the scam person details.
        Mr. Salim Ghazi

        Doha - Qatar
        Email: salimghazi267@gmail.com
        When we requested the payment to start with the production, things went exactly the same way. The bank couldn't complete it without the good standing certificate, then he "recommended" us to address to
        AGENCY FOR GOOD STANDING, QUALITY & STANDARDS ADMINISTRATION.
        Ports Inspection and Fiscal policy implementation Departments
        844A Road, Tammam Bin Aamir Street, Doha - Qatar.
        Attention: Dr.(Mrs) Munira Dawoud
        EMAIL: info@agsqsa.org
        The website for this "Agency" leads to nothing, the application from received from Munira is a photograph.

        Shame I didn't detecte at first sight it was scam. We invested several working hours on this.

      Hi all,

      We were contacted by the same team of scammers. We were not scammed because we have seen stuff like this many times before, but am sure these people make a great living out of that. Let us remind everyone around us, you never need to send money to receive money. If you need any help contact me or ask people here, everybody will be happy to assist. Below are the details of attempted scam and how it continues after the initial contact as shown above:

      Thanks for your patience so far. We have had a series of internal Management discussions on how to conclude payment arrangements on the first business transaction between you and our company in the line of importation of Consumable and Non-Consumable products.

      We have also submitted the proforma invoice and purchase order and other related documents to our bank for payment discussion and arrangement so that total invoice value will be transferred by swift as already agreed in the purchase order.

      However,our bank officers in charge of foreign payment unit have demanded for the photocopy of the Certificate of Good Standing and Quality of the product.This is to be provided by the Exporter of the products and was a problem for us regarding finalizing transfer with our bank to your bank account. According to the bank officer, they said that the Certificate of Good Standing and Quality of the product is necessary to ensure that the shipments will be delivered safely without seizures of cargo by customs. They said in line with the new... Read more
