Qatar: How to Report Online Shopping Fraud

Fake seller, an order that never arrived, a refund that was refused, or a call from a fake “customer care” number? Here is how to report it to the shopping platforms people use in Qatar, and where to go if the platform won’t help.

Do this first

  1. Never call a “customer care” number from Google, social media or a message. Many shopping platforms have no phone line at all, and those numbers belong to scammers.
  2. Report the problem inside the official app or website of the platform you used (details below).
  3. If you paid by card, bank transfer or a payment app, call your bank’s fraud line straight away: see bank fraud lines in Qatar.
  4. Report the crime to the police: see who handles cybercrime in Qatar.
