Chaeter

I wish I have posted my experience earlier so that I could have  protected

some  innocent people in this trap.

Let me explain what happened to me.(  membership.(RIHC1/040809/5566-165points)

I  spent  three and half lakhs rupees, wasted  so much of my precious time over last four years and  did not even have a single day of holiday theirs  or alliance resort (GAP Resort) over these three years.

Since I am mailing to few other people let me explain you how it all started.

I was holidaying in Club Mahindra Goa, with my & my brother-in- laws family in August 2009.
While I am there one of my friend called me from UK (Dr Rai) and during the conversation he asked me that he and his friend family are coming to Goa in December that year and asked me whether I can book them a resort while I am there. I asked at Club Mahindra but they said they only offer to Club Mahindra Members.

Then I met this sales man in Private Beach of Club Mahindra (I feel they should not have allowed these thugs to enter their private beach) offering visit to Haathi mahal and offering free gift. I was not at interested in gifts but I thought I can book resort to my friend if it looks okay.

Then I met another sales man (I can’t remember the name now-Arif/Asif) in Club Mhahindra.This guy insisted me that I should take whole family including kids there and checked I have got credit card. Also said it won’t take more than an hour. So I and my Brother-in –laws family visited Haathi Mahal on 4th August 2009

When I went Haathi Mahal they checked I have a valid credit Card

We were through the session of explanations about Karma Royal Resorts by Neelu Menom which lasted nearly one and half to two hour though in beginning only telling her intention of my visit. (To book a paid resort to my Friend). Then we were joined by Jessica Gracias. They both insisted that I should take membership which is available at discounted rate only today and sign the membership for three lacks.

Next one hour and half hour is most horrible time of Holiday in Goa.

I must have told atleast 25times I am not interested in Membership.
Ever time when I say no they came up how best holiday I can have in Next 25 years across the world for Pea nuts.
Frequently I was stopped abruptly during conversation.
I said I don’t want any free gifts, let me go-For that Jessica Gracias said I wasted three hours of their time.
They made me looks small in front of children. (As if I am refusing to buy 1 rupee ice cream for them)

They Insulted My Profession (You are such a big Doctor in United Kingdom cant you afford Pea nuts for happiness of your family)

Least to say their tactics are disgusting...

Finally under the pressure I agreed to take the membership.

Initially they said I have to pay Rs 35,000 and rest of 3 lakhs over five Years. Since I did not proof of address in India they forced me to pay all Rs 323,112.00  which I did with my Credit Card and signed the membership.(RIHC1/040809/5566-165points)

All I got was Vouchers of a week holidays for two families.


Free Holiday Vouchers

I try to use these vouchers to book holiday for my friends (Dr Rai & Peter Fox) who were visiting India in December 2009. They wanted only four day holidays in Goa as rest of the tour was fixed. But they refused give holidays any of your resort in Goa on these specific dates. My friends refused your dates of offer, vouchers went waste and I wasted so much time...
I sent E mail asking whether I can use it in future; I did not get any reply.

Holidays I enjoyed next three Years…

Like a fool I try to enjoy the forced relationship. I paid next two year of membership.(Rs 15,000 each year).
But when I tried to book holiday, response I got was

The Resort you have asked not affiliated us any more…
That Resort is not available in that period
But we have other resort, at other place, at other date (when children having school) with an extra cost…
And I wasted so much of time…

Only holiday booked was, last year two days of holiday was booked at royal palms for my friend (Dr Praksh Raviraj). That also he wanted at Hathi Mahal which was refused. (Though it was available from other Holiday web sites) and feedback I got from him is that is a filthy place.
After trying hard to book holiday this year decided not to pay any more for membership.


It is shame that company like this still exit, even after so much evidence available on line that how big a scammer, cheater and liars are…

The company says do charity for children, But bl… use children for cunning scam…

If it had happened in western countries, company like this would have closed long before and probably few people behind the bars as well.

That wasn’t first time I visited Goa (But will probably the last time)
I gave All India Postgraduate medical entrance examinations in Goa in 1990. I came with few friends stayed few days afterwards. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Goa. The hotel we stayed wasn’t posh but people were honest.
That trip is still in my memory.

I spent first 30 years in India and I love my country
But I haven’t come across this high level professional cunning people before.

It not the first time somebody approached me for holiday membership. When I was in club Mahindra their sale man called and explained me about their membership. He did not check weather I have got credit card or not, he did not ask my profession, did not make me look small in front women and children and more importantly at end of meeting I told him I will look in to it and comeback if I am interested. He respected that.

At any time if I want holiday membership I will take from Club Mahindra.

Unfortunately I don’t have time to put case against them..
But I have got stronger weapon…
I will use next of 21 years of membership year in Social net work site, forms, blog… explaining what happened to me in Goa. & Karma Royal Resorts

It has got the Power. It has brought down Dictators in Egypt, Libya and in many part of the world…
