I want to share my duped experience with Al-Rai newspaper, who cheated our company. I paid for a quarter-page color advertisement that came out black and white!! After issuing a complaint, the supposed head person of Al-Rai would not give ANY compensation and implied "screw off event after acknowleding their profound mistake.
