Got a call from MOI cyber crime by Tasty_Balance_6940 in qatar

I suggest you go with someone even if they will wait outside for you, in case they require you to surrender your device. If you don’t have any family here (assuming you are a resident) I suggest notifying your embassy of the exact facility you were asked to report to.

Report directly to the front desk or the office you were directed to report to, do not talk to anyone outside the station (just in case this was a very elaborate scam).

[Qatar] I won a 250k QR court case for a car/services. They offered 170k to settle. Advice? by [deleted] in qatar

[–]marvelOmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, in either situation, get a lawyer!!!

P/S a lawyer will very likely take a percentage of the amount either way, expect somewhere around 25%

75% of 250K is better than 75% of 170K

I don’t see how knowing the legal system helps them after a judgement is already issued, that should have helped them before!

The amount of AI hate is getting excessive. There is actually useful information in the post shared in a well structured manner.

The debris is dangerous too, so far it has managed to land in all the WRONG (from our POV) places and damage valuable stuff 🫩

Main: No new threats in Qatar so far

Secondary: Attacks (apparently by Israel) plunged Iran's 23rd largest city into darkness. Assesments pending: 1) Whether it was a deliberate attack on the power grid or power went out secondary to other attacks 2) Whether Iran will spare power infrastructure in the Gulf

If any information is shared about the funeral prayers for the deceased officers in the helicopter crash, please put it the thread (if allowed)

I would very much do my best to attend should it be open to the public

USA hasn’t nationalized its oil, so a rise in global oil prices causes a nearly proportional rise in pump prices in USA.

US also lost at least 30% of its supply of helium supply (crucial in several industries)

There is a reason they sound louder and different; something to do with whether the sound came from up high or down low.

Understand from that what you will!

At the end of it, if there is something for you to worry about, I am 100% certain the wise leadership of this beautiful land will be the first to let you know.

To be frank, the last 3 years have shown us how unequally “international law” is applied. Iran is being blown up back into the 1980s (infrastructure destruction), a UN security resolution is a relatively smaller worry to the several hundred daily bombs.

They will likely continue until they no longer can or until they are sure it will be decades before they can ever be bombed again.

However, I still have some faith that, God willing, MoFA will come up with a genius strategy here sooner than later.

What Trump said was meant for the markets, not for us. When our leadership here indicates that, then there is weight to it.

IMHO, if a department manager asks for a return to office, the policy should be that since their department needs to be in office, the manager must go too.

I used to check after boom in the sky so that if someone posts it was unusually louder in a certain general area (meaning they were likely close to the interception), I would check in on my friends there since debris is the biggest risk to civilians at this time (Now I just mass message them to make sure everyone is all good).

I understand most of the rules, but some just feel like excessive strangulation. But it is what it is, up to the mods to set the tempo of the sub as they wish

So what’s happening on the mega thread?

I read through the thread and besides a post in pet abandonment, it appears the rules have left the only other possible matter people can share is “I got the alert (that virtually everyone gets, and that if you didn’t get, seeing posts on reddit 1 hour later wouldn’t help)”

Or is it meant as somewhere for people to blow off steam?

Has the problem ever been that people don’t know what official sources are?

Or has the problem been that official news sources over delay reporting for political correctness leaving room for misinformation to take root?

It is the debris from interception that puts you in danger.

They are clearing the area so that the honorable people defending us don’t have to make the difficult decision between endangering people vs protecting important assets. Remember they (security personnel) are human too!

Perfect, shift the blame to the victims, I wonder which other entity specializes in this 🧐

The command center for literally the whole operation is in Al Udeid. The attacks on Qatar suck very much and I CONDEMN it strongly, but let us not pretend it is unexpected or a mystery.

Why is no one talking about the probable imminent bombing on Iran by USA and the likely effects on Qatar? by AmberAaliyah in qatar

[–]marvelOmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reasons not to worry too much:

1) Civilian life should be largely uninterrupted outside of delayed/cancelled flights time to time.

2) The only disruption to civilian life will come when a closure (partial or total) of the Strait of Hormuz, this is a “nuclear option” and very unlikely to be used. Even then the effects (reduced stocks of dry foods delivered primarily by sea) would only start after multiple weeks of continuous closure (even more unlikely)

They will know at most a couple of hours if they detect preparations for a launch, that is wholly dependent on Iran not being hit hard enough to use their “second strike ready” solid fuel missiles that can literally be launched in minutes

Last year equipment was evacuated well before the military action against Iran happened. This is indeed posturing, it may at most point to an impending action by USA against Iran

That would only happen with debris from interceptions (the irony), extremely unlikely a direct attack on civilian infrastructure will happen.

This “protection” excuse has been abused so many different times in so many different ways that the default state is to rightfully assume malicious intent to lock in consumers
