Be Aware of Vacataion International
I Harish Chander was walking with wife in Dubai festival city in 2008 where a passer by tells me that i have won a trip to abroad just free and ask us to attend a Presentation happening in building opposite Al Kabayal Center . we went saw group of people waiting to receive them at gate and take them to small table where this presenter is showing the plan. they do all verbal show you big dreams. give you a simple sheet which entitles you to take a trip abroad to your wish destination. tells you you can with draw your capital any time if you wish so. which means investment if you can not pay withdraw it. there is the catch. no matter how many times i visited, no matter how many times i plead, no matter how many times i requested to get my investment back there is no relief. They did not sent me the final contract till today neither they can prove if they have sent. i could not pay my further installments after paying thrice for more than 11500 dhs due to job loss and heavy debts.
its group of people sitting and doing it very organized way. When i call the presenter he promises that send me an sms to him he will look after all, but never. Man who is heading this group is Mr. Serry +971 50 4965020. never calls back and always promise to call back. takes your number very professionally and wants you to leave the office soon so that you can not meet many people same like you fighting for there money to return.
they promise to sell your time share but actually do none.
they tell you you can sell on line but will show you none way.
they ask me that now that resort plan we dont sell any more. but its not my prob i am an investor and i believe you what you tell me. they should help customers after taking there money if they dont get value not making them feel that they cheat.
dubai is very safe Police here is very effective but they have no fears. some one to guide me please.
the man who gave presentation is Mr. Ghassan+971 50 8944236. he promised during presentation and the call to him that we can pull out our money any time we wish but empty promises.
can any body guide me help me.
AWARENEES CAMPAIGN AGAINST COUNTRY CLUB FRAUD AND CHEATS!! (INDIA, QATAR, ABUDHABI, SAUDI, MUSCAT, BHARAIN & OTHER PLACES)
• I think everybody has heard about Country Club Group ... (India & other places) but hardly few people know a lot about it. That’s why I‘d like to tell you something about Country Club Group…
• Mainly they target the Indian community by approaching innocent peoples and ladies in shopping mall and other places to collect the phone number to call and trap!!
• Encashing the people belief, faith and sentiments by using dirty marketing tricks by offering free gift voucher like a hunter offering food grains to birds to catch them!!
• Lie starts from first call itself saying that you‘d selected out of 10,000 people to collect the free gift voucher! In reality not selected out of 10,000 people!!
• Gift voucher is not free as they said!! We require pay INR 5,000 – 15,000, in their words called as tax!! Not revealing this at any point of time until customer was trapped by them!!
• During one hour gambling time, they never reveal their company terms and conditions openly , everything was kept under suspicious!! Also not giving any chance to customer to think for a day, neither allow customer to check their low grade company profile!! , this is very important tactful point handled very carefully by trained staff!!
• All false promise made by staff during one hour gambling time not fulfilling at point of time , none of the staff not willing to provide their business card to any of the customer and not revealing the truth ! Trying to cheat as many people as possible!!
• Trying to persuade the customer that life time membership special offer valid for only today by making some gimmick of discount offer!! This is really bullish!!!!
• Country club group (INDIA, QATAR, DUBAI, ABU DHABI, OMAN & OTHER PLACES) cheated plenty of people!! JUST TYPE COUNTRY CLUB INDIA FRAUD & CHEATS IN GOOGLE!!!
• Worst thing is that in case due to some reason we don’t want to continue as a Country club member , MONEY IS NON REFUNDABLE !!!! What a wonderful policy!!!! This thing they never reveal to customer during membership enrolling time!!!
• In case we negotiated for QR 15,000 (INR 225,000 ) later will receive bill for QR 20,000 (INR 300,000 )
• Lots of complaint registered in consumer court in India and many other places, no action on them, continue to cheat innocent people leading dirty lavish life!! What a shameless personality!! Really world most powerful fraud and cheating company is Country Club India Group!!
• Most of the victims not willing to lodge police complaint or willing to go court , the reason that time, further money loss in legal process will take very long time not less than 10 – 15 years to get a verdict , torture ect, Country Club India Group taking full advantage of this situation by search and continue to cheat new customers!!
• At least best way that all victim unite together come on the road to protest and register single police complaint to fight against this fraud & cheating company
• Join us the awareness campaign to create awareness in as many people as we know
Country Club Victim Association
their luring offers make people to enter the contract and fall in prey for over commitments.
Their marketing strategy is mis selling. such as the offer is valid for just one hour, the offer price will not be available later, one could pay by credit card if cash not available are just traps.
I suggest it is NOT advisable for the people with No job security and medium Salaried (all jobs in the Gulf are unsecured) :(
Time share is suggested ONLY for High salaried / wealthy individuals or families, who goes on vacation at least twice a year around the world, and Not to their home town /country.
Sorry to hear, these are well known scams.
Forget and forgive the only option. Remember my friends nothing in this World is Free, neither water nor air.
What I did was...just listen to them...let them talk. And I showed my excited expression on my face. Then at the very end of their talk...I just said..."Sorry, I cannot afford it since too many commitment".
I walked away smilingly when I saw their faces suddenly changed!
i saw same kind of people in New world center & Doha city, One time when we enter in to the shop, the lady who standing besides the door told us that we have a free gift. i surprised and ask her for what?!!.. she said this gift is for today only. Anyway we just filledup the form and she told me to attend the presentation on next saturday at 8 PM. I said i will try..
On saturday i got a call at around 7PM, an egyptian guy with big bass voice. He asked me "My friend at what time you coming for the presentation".. i said sorry i am not coming, as i have an important guest coming in to my home.. Suddenly the voice changed from another side, he said then why did you fill the form?... it is not allowed and you should attend.. he started shouting at me..i was really shocked and got nervous suddenly.. then i fire back with whatever come in to my mouth....
They are selling time share. It is not a fraud. It is up to you to buy or not to buy it, like any other product in the world.
If you buy a house, and pay a downpayment, and then you change your mind.. is that a SELLER's responsibility to return your money? Or YOU are the one who has to find another buyer?
Many of us buy some cr*p once in a while.. cope with that. Don't do the same mistake next time.
And why have you made any payment without signing the contract in the first place?
It is laughable the way the guys with gelled up hair and pointy shoes approach us in malls offering " free gift for family"..
I am surprised at the number of people who are willing to spend time to talk to them.. sometimes i feel like yelling out loud : " guys, walk away now!! these guys are frauds"
we experience the same, but the only good thing is that we are smarter than them, they think they can play with us but no, everytime i see them, im always confronting them that theyre company is bogus, they are transferring to one supermarket to another and they even used the company of Regency Travel, i dont know if qatar is taking some actions about this, i really feel bad for the victims..
why dont you go to court then ??
Vacation Int'l is a scam. Just google that name to find out how they are cheating people in different parts of the GCC. As per your profile you are an Indian and there are some well known Companies in India who are offering genuine packages for different parts of the world. You should have joined Club Mahindra Holidays instead of wasting your money with Vacation International. You should have got plenty of genuine tours from them.
