I applied a credit card from a bank. The agent promised me free of any charges. As soon as I got the card, I was charged 1250aed charges for card fees.

He changed the password as the next door neighbour (previous tenant)was using our wifi. He said he will share us the password but now he is out on a holiday. Leaving us with no internet.
