Meena Bazaar - funny experience. .. hair fall treatment conman

Experience Oct 20, 2014

I was in Meena Bazaar - Bur Dubai on a quite afternoon and I hear a voice behind me saying. ..hey u know what for your hair problem u need to apply zaiton oil and mix them with some herbs.
I was like ok.. and I see a fat man standing behind me and commenting on my Bald head ... he got my attention.

About Myself - I am 38 year old and have a receding hair line on my forehead and have lost little hair in the centre of my head and I have never worried about it as it comes with the genes but then I said to myself ok lets see what this guy has to offer.

so he says all you have to do is -
Take some oil and mix 3 herbs which you shall find in any Iranian herb shop.. I was inquired  what are the herbs.. and he tells doesn't herbs -

AKSEER and
Zil Zilae 

Sounds very Fancy and already one could feel that wow it could be worth a try.. so I asked him what is the name of the third powder? And instead of telling me the name he says you know I had shoulder length hair before and suddenly due to the UAE water I lost my hair, but then I met an old guy who gave me this formula (I was about to tell him dude... do you want me to buy your story / or do you see fool written on my forehead) 

But then I didn't want to spoil the fun and wanted to see where it goes.. 

Again I asked him what what is the name of the third herb... and he goes like oo you know what let me show you where you can buy the stuff.. I noted the name of 2 herbs

By the way the guys name is Shvaz aka Tikku and he also gave me his telephone number saying that if it helps me ... I should give him a treat.. 😃 I was laughing in my mind and said why not...

And suddenly he becomes very benign and tells me cone I will show you where to buy the oil ... and I said aahh now you are talking... then we go to in one of the by lanes in Meena bazaar, we enter a grocery ... he tells the guy give me natural herbal hair oil and voila in a second the guys gives us Vatika herbal hair oil for AED10/ as we walk out of the grocery the guy looks around and tell me hmm where will we find the herbs... and Voila he  points at a herb shop... how lucky I am that the herb shop happened to be right next to the grocery...😉

We entered the shop... there is no one... he calls out to the shopkeeper... no one is there... and then a man comes from the back area... and says ... hi .. how may i help you... and Tikku says look I am in a rush and right now I am helping my brother here .. who has hair fall problem.. do you have herb which helps to stop hair fall.. and in no time the guy puts a bottle on the table and says here this the one..this is AED 10/ per gram... so I say how many grams do we have to put in this bottle of oil and both of them say 120 grams in chorus... hahahahahaha .. hmm I say but guys I don't have money... oh that's fine u have an option to pay by card... hmm wow I said to nyself... and then I told the shopkeeper that my credit card doesn't have money either...but they can tell me the cost and I promise to come and buy the herbs to mix in the oil.

the shopkeeper calculates and the total sums up to around AED570/ for a 40 days course.. I walk out saying I will be back soon..

Please folks beware of these people ... 

They do not have any medical degree and I do not think they are even approved by DHA to make such kind of claims... mix some powder in the oil apply for 40 days and your hair will grow back....my foot.
