Vacation International
Yesterday I was Lured to a Tourism company office, by promising me to give a free gift of 7 days free stay in 5 start hotel in Sharm El Sheik, Egypt , finally after a presenation , they offered 30 days stay in 5 start hotels at a rate QR600/-, you pay QR 6000/- down payment non refundable and rest in Installments.
There is one more catch, you must have measl in that hotel and you have to pay the meals prior to travel while booking.
When I checked those hotels booking through internet most of them are less the half the price if you book though internet USD 70/- to 150/- max.
But when I went to their office , i could see many peopel are being fooled by their marketing statergies.
I feel like compalining to police , How can I do this.
Good Luck to all.

i also had the same experience last month.and thank to qatar living site i got to know ab them..they called us again and again asking us to come to their office to get the gift...
Its not Google but Qatar Living website I think you should say thanks to...
Whew! Thank God for having internet to get information. At this moment, we are also invited for their seminar this evening. The strategy above how they lure is the same way as they did. As I have an instinct and a bit suspicious, I searched this topic in google (Thanks Google). I thought there was no such scam here in Qatar. So right now, I am aware and do keep our minds that "There is no easy way in our daily life" Thanks guys! God Bless.
They are the real cheaters..Really they fooled the innocent people by giving them the false offers and insists them to pay some amount in advance. Many innocent people pay them as they motivate them somehow
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

Unfortunately, I fell into the same trap. I paid more than QAR 5,000. As above guy mention" And deception is not a trait of smartness or intelligence that should be commended in business. Business should be governed by rules of ethics. People who cheat people and lure them into signing contracts almost immediately without giving them sufficient time to review and study the conditions should be penalised by law. "
Friends let us have a meet and discuss how to tackle this fellow. I am sure many people are trapped by them. They all around all big Malls to catch people.
Please email me to [email protected]. We will find some solution.
Dear All,
I was lured into the "Vacation International Tours n Travels" scheme and I was coerced to pay QR.2350/- & balace to be paid within 3 months. i want to cancel the contract the get my refund. Is there any way? Need opinion please ...
Dear All,Any one have idea about this company Vacation ?Are they fraud ?
First they say that you won a gift, come to our office for collection
u go there thinking that you will get a gift , but they wil actually show you the hotel rates which are not true or very high season rates, you belive them ,
then they will explain you their scheme telling they are giving you 40% discount on that very high price , which you will belive because you don't know all the hotel rates
They ask you to sign the contract immediately otherwise you come back tomorrow you don't get the discount , if you are one who is planning for a vacation , you will defnitely surrender
Do your reserach online, there are so many avenues online where you can explore such as expedia.com, lastminute.com etc....I fail to see how you were lured there. you went there under your own free will....if you didn't ask about cancellation fees etc then its only your fault....explain to us QLers how you "fell into the trap" and accepted the deal by deception...
Unfortunately, I fell into the same trap as the person above. I paid more than QAR 6,000. The way they lured me and my family in to accepting the deal was non other than by deception. And deception is not a trait of smartness or intelligence that should be commended in business. Business should be governed by rules of ethics. People who cheat people and lure them into signing contracts almost immediately without giving them sufficient time to review and study the conditions should be penalised by law. It is not improper or wrong to change ones mind (actually it is perfectly normal, it is part of being human). Why should one lose all the money he paid just because he decides that it wasn't such a good deal after all. The maximum that should be applicable in such a case is a penalty fee for cancellation (an international norm) and really should not exceed 10% especially if the person decides to cancel within a few days.
Are there any competent lawyers out there that can help and advise?
it is based on Season's......the fare may varey..
If you choose to to accept their offer rather than doing your own research through the NET and end up paying more then whos the fool! Theres no trap here.
you agreed to pay for what they have offered, so no deception made.just check if you can still cancel it or lessen the lenght of your stay and transfer elsewhere.
What do you wanna complain to the police about? Next you will wanna complain to the police about Carrefour selling tea bags for Qar 1 more than Lulu.
You need to be smart enough to siphon out the players ;-)
You can't complain because legally they are doing nothing wrong. they are offering a package and its up to you to accept or reject.
Lol.. whats the name of the agent?
I won the same prize & they called me to their office. I did a little search on the internet & got all the details of their (marketing) trap.
