Don't think they will reverse it though but they said they will file a case now and I forwarded the no. of the caller. Hope they won't get another victim... You must inform the police and Du this is a very common scam and many have been caught out, I have a dear friend who fell for this for a lot more than you! It was unbelievable, but her's was with the other supplier and they had her personal details. The police take it very seriously. I have informed Du about it and waiting for their feedback. They should've filed for a case now.

what are you talking about? I received a call from this guy who said he's working from du. Then he asked for my account no. and he then told me I've won 200,000dhs from duty free and I have to process 1,500dhs of recharge card to claim it...

Is the access better now? I've heard that the detour is too long to get anywhere? Going back to Motor city, needs to take u-turn then take the Layan community exit then right turn back to Umm Sqm Rd.. took approx 15 mins. I'm still confused if taking the flat is the best option. I fell in love with Remraam though, pool and court facilities are available. Got one more week to decide but I don't have another option. Any suggestions for studio flats?

If shops are available or we have to drive down somewhere else? I know there is a swimming pool and other facilities. I want to know if the community is great too.

Hi, I am currently thinking of moving to Remraan. Anyone living there at the moment who can share their thoughts. Location is not a problem as I work in Motor City. Thanks.

Thank you ladies. I managed to cancel my insurance within the grace period. Good Lord, I thought I would be obliged to pay for 7 years without missing out. I am still looking for other options. I will check on the contacts below. Thank you so much!

Hi Zidu, I think I've seen a few furniture shops in Karama and Satwa, they should be cheaper and most I think is good quality anyway.

Haven't been to the Barsha branch but if there's more selection then it's better to visit that one. Thanks Apricot!

They might be just setting up at the moment. If you are not asked for money then it should be fine. Good luck!

Hi Bonlee, I know someone who's organising a photo booth and has done couple of events. He charges reasonably so might be the reason he's getting lots of booking at the moment. Contact him zero five five five six one nine seven three seven. edited by AprilD on 16/02/2014 edited by AprilD on 07/05/2014 <em>edited by AprilD on 10/06/2014</em>

Hi ladies, Just want to know your feedback on Life Insurance from Zurich... is there any good? They are offering two years nil and then you get encashment value from the third year onwards. Mutual bonds will be invested somewhere. I am thinking of getting the Life Premium insurance. Thanks.

Victoria, there is a shop across Jumeirah Beach Rd where Burger King is located. A craft shop located on ground floor sells envelopes and all. You might want to check it out too. I've been there last week.

Eat less, exercise more. A DR doesn't need to tell you this unless you have a medical condition :-) true!
