ok guys listen here: I came almost 2 hours ago from one of their seminars, where they try to sell their vacation packages. for details you can refer to the post of ANA792 above, exactly the same details on prices. I and my wife were approached at safari as well.
The good thing is that 2 years ago we were approached by the same company and we went and got the gift but didn't pay 1 qr, and actually I gave hard time to the saleman coz i kept him 2 hours and at the end he was exhausted. Let's say that that time I was not sure it was a fraud, but didn't really feel confortable. I just didn't go further.
However, we didn't use the gift and this time we went to take the gift they promised at safari mall, and check if there was anything interesting to listen.
Let me tell you that this time was hard, also because this other guy made several proposals, progressively cheaper, till he convinced my wife!!! After 2 hours again I said to my wife -completely brainwashed- that if she wanted the offer then we could take it, but I was istinctively not convinced at all. The guy tried hard to convince me, and actually numbers were supporting him, but I openly said that I never sign contracts on the spot, without getting info and read carefully, and I would like to take my time. I told him that to buy a TV I'm going around since 2 weeks to find what I want, and there is nooooway to pay that amount, there, under rush.
He said that the offer was valid only for today, and supposing that I like the offer, tomorrow the price would be more than double, as usual.
The funny part was when I told him that I was quite confident that I could evaluate the proposal and find a way to go back to them to get the 'special' price offer, as I know they organize such events quite often.
He said that it's not possible coz once my name is in the system I cannot be invited anymore :) You guys should have seen his face when I said that he says BBBBullshit as It's the second time I'm gonna get a gift from them XD. At the end he was exhausted and my wife disappointed coz we didn't close a deal which was very good for her. Those guys are really professionals, he used my wife to convince me and I openly said to not play like that; then he asked me to bring her to honeymoon, as we didn't go after our recent wedding; then he showed personal documents of people who signed contracts (a certain Varghese). He also showed me other people who were signing there in the same room!!! That's what they do to put pressure and let you feel in the position to demonstrate that YOU CAN.
When I came back home I searched in the net about this Vacation Int'l travel & tour and found sooooo many posts about frauds cheats and such stuff that I was feeling happy to have been able to resist!
...of course I showed to my wife what I found out, and she is not disappointed anymore...
The only thing I want to verify is if really as I think the gift (one week in sharm el sheikh)is everything but a gift,as I read somewhere around that they ask to cover costs which are enough to pay the full vacation.
So briefly:
1) DON'T trust in offers which are valid only for a TOO SHORT period,
2) make mistakes with your head and not because someone is telling you what to do,
3) RUSH and MONEY are not a good combination
4) internet is a resource, USE IT!!! -before not after, I should remind this as well-
5) Internet is full of last minute packages, don't committ yourself for long term packages.
