Dear Sir,

I am writing this mail to you in Public interest with the great expectation that some strong action shall be taken for this.

We all people come to your outlets to shop and not to be trapped and foolled by agents of some groups (Like Awesome Holidays) who are actually not yours but are being permitted by your people to roam inside your outlets, and target all your customers. These agents ask the customers to fill in small forms, collect the contact details and then rest of the story is as mentioned in the trailing mail.

This is immidiately required that you ban entry and use of your spaces by any such agent of this group to safeguard the interest of Public.

Kindly, by means of some circular, Inform all your branches to stop immidiately the entry of any such agent.

Dear Friends,

 

I too had a very similar experience when I met an agent of Awesome Holidays at Reliance fresh. Hope this may be useful for you.

Hallo everybody,

 

This mail is meant just to make you people aware of a group "Awesome Holidays" who make fool of people in the name of providing vacations packages for 10 yrs. The points to be known about this group are –

·         You may confront with the agents of this group in some shopping mall or Retails outlets like Reliance fresh, Big Bazaar, Spencer's, Lifestyle etc. where these agents get bulk people of medium class.

·         They shall give you a small form to fill in your contact details in the name of lucky draw.

·         After a few days, some representative from awesome holidays shall call you and tell that your name has been shortlisted in the lucky winners and you can collect your lucky coupon from them, all you shall be required to do is to spare 1hr of time to meet them with your wife.

·         When you go to them thinking that there is nothing to lose, just a matter of 1  Hr., and you shall get a free gift, you have fallen in trap.

·         The biggest fraud in this episode shall be making all big but false promises that their executive shall make to you to make you register for their membership and pay them the huge amount for this – and in return after a few days you will find that you have been fooled absolutely. I too had fallen in trap and my experience is as follows:

I was told that

·          that they have got their resorts at most of the places to visit in India and abroad which we can avail after becoming a member. When I actually saw the list, it was a very small list covering only few places for which I would never like to pay them Rs 1 Lakh ( to be paid partly downpayment and balance in EMI's). In turn they told that this list covers only the resorts which are of their own but we can still go to any place around the world, and if at some place they don't have their own resort, they shall arrange a 4 star resort for us and we shall not be required to spend anything for another 10 yrs. ------ After registering with them, when I asked them to book a resort a Srinagar as I was planning a vacation over there, they said that they don't have resort of their own there and if I want them to book any other resort there, I shall have to pay for that. That was beyond my understanding, why the hell will anybody then pay Rs 1 Lakh to them.

·          That if you are not satisfied with the services, you can cancel the membership anytime and by that time whatever money has been paid by you minus the amount for which you have availed their services shall be returned to you. When after being declined for my Srinagar package and getting to know that actually their membership can be availed only for their own resorts and not for any other, and knowing that their list is so small that it is absolutely foolish to pay Rs. 1 Lakh to them for only a limited destinations to be visited in 10 yrs of membership, I asked them to cancel the membership and return my down payment -------- In turn they said that nothing can be returned since as per their rules only the amount over and above 40% of the to total membership cost can be returned.  Now I am feeling absolutely cheated.

 

All this has been written only to create a awareness not to fooled by this group.

 

I request you all to forward this mail to all concerned so that they may not fall in trap.  

Regards,

Manish Gupta.
