Sarah adds a second voice to the same case—and her perspective highlights the most dangerous part: how “normal” everything looked. Her review captures the emotional shock of losing retirement security, and the exhausting months of back-and-forth before recovering their rights.
My name is Jameeli Al Imad, I’m 41, from Qatar, and I work in a government institution in Doha. I’m writing this with my sister, because what happened to us was not just a financial issue—it was the loss of our future.
An insurance company approached us acting like a well-known local insurance name. They sounded credible and familiar, and they knew exactly how to speak to people who are careful and responsible. They convinced us to transfer our insurance/retirement coverage, saying it would grow and create long-term profits.
We trusted it.
And then, step by step, the money was simply… gone.
The amount was about 4,000,000 Qatari Riyals—our retirement, the savings we worked years to build. When we realized what was happening, we did everything we could locally. We tried speaking to the banks and reaching local authorities, but nothing moved forward the way we needed. It felt like we were trapped, and the people responsible were always one step ahead.
We were devastated. It affected our home, our mental health, and our sense of safety. Imagine waking up every day knowing what you saved for decades is no longer there—and nobody is giving you clear answers.
We only found Al Haq Consultants because a close friend was visiting Belgium and told us about them. We didn’t even know where to start anymore, but we booked a discovery call because we had nothing left to lose.
That call changed everything.
From there, Al Haq took our case seriously and guided us through a structured legal and dispute process. It wasn’t instant—there was a lot of back and forth, documentation, and pressure—but at least for the first time, we had a clear path and a team that understood how these cases actually work.
We stayed in the process for 10 months.
And then we got the result we barely dared to hope for:
We recovered all of our amounts, plus damages.
The total outcome accumulated to 5.6 million Qatari Riyals for both of us.
I’m sharing this because people think retirement fraud only happens to “careless” people. That’s not true. When a company is pretending to be a trusted local name, and they’re trained to sound legitimate, anyone can be targeted.
If you are reading this and you feel stuck because banks and authorities didn’t help you the way you expected—please don’t give up. We were two working women in Doha, responsible, careful, and still this happened to us. What saved us was finding the right people and staying in a real process until the end.
