This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I & many of my colleague come across fact that Book deal trading operating in sharjah at bohaira cournish & dubai trap 98 % young people having least education & commit them that they will provide better future and within one year they will be promoted to manger's rank.

Hereby, there criteria is to sell one year old version books in uae door to door on cheap prices.

Firstly, a person works on his/her visit visa till expiry. Being employee they commit you for salary, you also sign the agreement but when job commence they behave in a such a way that, that signed agreement is just a formality. we will pay you commission only & to surprise a employee has to work up to 12 hrs a days even sometimes Fridays are not off.

This is worst example of greediness the executives of companies are following & treat like animals with employees without caring Labor laws. No medical, No salary, No Allowances, No other benefits. Hence playing with emotions giving them mental torture. Only & Only they provide is motivation in morning meetings just like brain washing showing them bright future.

Employee ties to work with the company because of their families & most of them leave company earlier as they get better opportunity or they realize the cruel aim of executives

Ministry Of labor should take strong action against Book Deal Trading & must review its licencing. Employees are bound not to complaint because if they go against with the company they will lose their jobs & a little money they earn with hard.

GUYS BEWARE THIS COMPANY IS TRUELY A FRAUD COMPANY.THATS WHY ITS CHANGING LOCATION TO HIDE ALL THEIR FRAUD.HONESTLY THIS COMPANY WAS BADLY POPULAR FOR ITS LOCATION (BEHIND HYUNDAI SHOWROOM) 205 .SO ALL MY DEAR FRIENDS NEVER GET TRAPPED BY THESE FRAUDULENT CHINESE LADY (veronica)(shemale).NOW THEY HAVE BRAND NEW LOCATION TO HIDE THERE OLD IDENTITY.208 PONDEROSA BUILDING BEHIND EMIRATES BUILDING DEIRA.THERE ARE AROUND 50000 COMPANIES IN DUBAI GIVING BASIC SALARY, MEDICAL, TRANSPORTATION IN THIS ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE CITY OF THE WORLD(DUBAI).THIS COMPANY BOOK DEALS HAS NEVER OPENED ANY SALARY TRANSFER ACCOUNT FOR ANY OF THEIR EMPLOYEE NOR THEY CAN DREAM OF GIVING MEDICAL AND ACCOMODATION TO THEIR EMPLOYEES.SO MY SUGGESTION IS THAT EVEN IF UR NEEDY OR POOR LOOK FOR A FIX SALARY JOB SO THAT U CAN SURVIVE N SEND MONEY HOME.

this Naresh fat guy offered me 380 kuwaiti dinnar. and told me to start imidiately. i ask for offer letter or acceptance letter to transfer my visa. he told me i should start working first before they will provide me those docoments. book deals here in Kuwait is located in Sharq near Bhebani Building. its hard for idiots to fool people here in kuwait because of there labour law. My advice just stay away to this company. Mr. Naresh is liar, ### sucking gay idiot.

i was from a poor family, n worked as a salesman for Rs. 1000 per month when i was 17 years old. After that i changed so many jobs. Initially i was also looking -ively on marketing jobs, but luckily i entered this company one day. i was told the same thing, that u have to start from field n step by step u will be pramoted as manager in company. I decided to stay n work with out worrying, n this paid me. today i run my own office, now i cant say about my life, coz its now a dream come true. thanks to those people who helped me to become a manger. n thank god i didnt fall for -ives like here i read in this forum about this company. Now i spend good money on my family n my self also.

Hi friends!
Mr. Asif was 200% correct. In couple of years ago i was worked with Book deals trading and has got promoted as a trainer. I would say i have wasted 1 year in book deals trading. Especially the lady called veronica she is lier. I don't understand how veronica became manager in Dubai office. because she don't know anything like how to mange office and how to treat the executives. They are treating like animals for all the executives. Please my dear friends don't work with book deals even don't go for interview because u will waste your valuable time. I would like to inform you people who work with Book deals now if veronica asking for signature for salary book. please guys don't signed and ask her for monthly salary if you not signed the salary book she will get a notice from Ministry of Labour. This is my humble request all my friends who work with Book deals now. I think this is a best way to shut down the company like book deals. Mr. Asif thanks for once again to open this blog.

This complaint is over 3 years old now but I see absolutely no response whatsoever from the UAE authorities, which rings a bell as if UAE authorities are also involved with the Book Deals Trading company! I, just like all of you was also a victim of BDT company, but I do thanks a guy in that company for telling me in advance that there is no salary given to the executives! while the HR manager, her name is Veronica promised 5000 aed salary per month. I have done graduation in Commerce, graduation in Mass communications and now doing Masters in Mass communications but still I accepted this low life job because of their lies in newspaper ads! I always heard that UAE is a place where law and justice speaks for itself blah blah blah.. why is it? why these BDT company hasn't been banned from UAE? Why they are now behind bars for faking an agreement? Their ads in gulfnews are still out there, they are even asking people to join them now! Shame of ministry of labor!

I am about to start working for a Trading Company this coming Saturday, then I got a call from Book deals. I had second thought of dropping by to have an interview with them because of the timing and the location of the said interview. So, I've decided to browse the net to see if the company is Legitimate, and it is. But as I continued, I came to know about this blog. Luckily, I have read this blog before I threw a big opportunity laid for me by the company I am supposed to start with on Saturday. A big thanks to those people who wrote their drastic experiences with this company. Now I know why immediately they ask if I'm on a visit visa and the expiry date of it. Aha! Make sense, that is because they'll just use the days of your visa till it expires. Such a brilliant idea of filthy people like them. I hope everybody will came to know about this blog to be warned that these people are not to be trusted.

hi to u all guys! i must say i am very impressed by the boldness, good thought and ideas of Mr. Asif. believe me if i tell u that we must encourage such blogs on the internet so as to awaken and guide our newly arrived brothers to avoid them from falling into all this mess from employers. It should be brought before mind that such situations are very common among us where people come here and get themselves frustrated by employers like this. Really, governments should look into wiping out such companies and bringing the involved managers to justice. thanks.

book deals is a part of a company which runs about 200 offices like this in a few countries. All the people managing these offices started in sales. MOney earned in all these offices is based on your performance in sales. About the visa, there is an expense of about 5000 dhirams so unless the manager in the office is sure about a candidate, they dont spend this money straight away. Sometimes people initially feel they can do it after a week they find it difficult and leave< so imagine having some one work for a week and then leave after getting a visa for which 5000 dhirams were spent. So there are issues on the other side which are being overlooked completely. And there is a good thing that they dont ask you to pay for it.. There are about 25 people working in dubai on the company's visas. Also there are people now in kuwait and qatar who have gone from Dubai.office SO effectively many more visas were issued>

NAresh who worked for 12 years in textiles in Dubai< worked with bookdeals for just over an an year and is now running kuwait office. he could have not grown as much in the textile firm he worked.

I work in INDIA with the company and know for sure there isnt a better opportunity for average people like me.

This blog must have been started by someone who has been influenced badly and is only talking about his side of story. Wish there is a way one can blofglike this only after authenticating the claims. Feel sorry for all the people who didnt go for the interviews @ bookdeals listening to someone they dont even know or someone whose credentials are not even verified. HE could simply have a vendetta against the people running the business there.
