Country Vacations – is it a fraud?

by Lechu on March 6, 2010

Day before yesterday i received a call from the staff of country vacations saying that i am the lucky winner of a lucky draw and come and collect three gifts (one kitchen set of 6 glass bowls, a gift voucher worth Rs.25,000/- which can be utilized for getting the accommodation and pass to country club for one day) and come with my husband. Since my husband is abroad, i went with my neighboring couples to get the gifts and later realized that  it was not at all necessary to go with the spouse. It was held at the basement of the Country Club, in outer ring road, Bangalore. The staff said we have to attend a presentation for 1 hour and later the gifts can be collected. The so called presentation was a trap and i realized it only after reaching home. It is about country vacations and through that gaining a Country club life time membership. I fancied about the idea of getting a membership.

I spoke with my husband regarding this and he was not interested in this since the beginning. I thought of convincing him later on and made a small token of payment to block the offer. They offered me a set of lemonade as a compliment. After reading others experiences, i am bit confused.

I read the bitter experiences of of others in the web http://www.consumercourt.in/travel-agent/5733-country-vacation-cheated-us.html and realized that it is not wise to go ahead with the idea of joining the concept of country vacation. So be careful when you receive a call like this.

Wishing you all the best for not getting into the trap of Country Club’s Country Vacations.

    hello deari got call in the month of april 2010 from country vacation club (Gurgaon office) that you won two gifts one is kitchenware another rs 25000 holiday package. they asked to come with your wife and collect the same.when we went there they tried to convence us to join CV that day. but i said that i am not with sufficient fund. i will join lateron . then thay said this offer is for today if u don’t have sufficient money. just book with 10000/- and pay rest of money in installment. then after discussing with my wife we make our mind to avoid this . we refused. we were given a kitchenware worth rs just 50/- only. i thought we wasted our 2-3 hours just for gift of 50 rs.so i want to say to just avoid these type of offers.have a nice timeBabu, Gurgaon

    Hi all,I too got a call (3 months before) and i went there with my wife and they gave an hour class about country vacations and insisted us to avail any one of the offer they explained in the class and i too got pleased with their talk and many offers they are providing but i didnt pay anything that time. Came outside of the place and enquired about that with friends circle and came to know that it is a cheating company. Also they said that we won kitchen set and after classes over and i said that will decide and come back to avail these offer, they didnt gave kitchen set to me and instead of that they said that kitchen set is not available now and will send through postal. That time itself i got doubt about the company. So please dont go to their place if u got a call…..

  • Sathish

    Hi All,Yesterday I got a call from C V international (near Forum mall). The person asked me to collect 5000Rs kitchen set and 25000 holiday package, but I have to attend their 1 hour presentation. I was suspicious, but did not find any info about C V international in the net. Now I realise it’s nothing but Country Vacations. So everyone, please beware of their cheating methods

    I have taken a membership with loads of promises & phone calls. I infect made My friends & relatives a member too. I am from Kolkata & my main interest was local clubbing & not free land or holidays. But as the executives from Country club keep on promising me different things, i didn’t become member until I saw in newspaper an ad that Country Club is opening a beautiful clubbing place CK 27 in kolkata too. I become member along with my friends & relatives, they keep on promising since 2008 beginning that soon club is coming up but it didn’t come. When asking the final date they said on Diwali 2008 then Durga Pooja 2008 then New Year eve. When I asked to return my money or else I will go to court then finally executive Mr. Manoj Singh his head Mr. Gajendra Singh & Abjit Pandey promised June 2009 & then the club would be fully operational. Now after June 2009 also they are unable to keep promise & asking few more months without shame. I need my money back or else I will go to consumer court & start a fight against these guys in Kolkata media to make people aware of their frauds.

    Dear AllTwo days back I had filled a Lucky Draw coupon at STAR BAZAR (a TATA Enterprize),I got a call from Country Vacations that I ve won 25000/- tour package and a cutlery set.I went there in the evening and they asked me to attend a 90 mins presentation.At first I was bit impressed but later i have to encounter a series of questions by one of the Idiotic staff member who tried to reveal my personal life which was very embarrassing and created a doubt in my mind as there was zero presentation in that half an hour time…….I rushed out of the office as i found it very fake and unreliable……even the TATA enterprise should not entertain and motivate such fake company’s marketing in their premises…..I request u all not to get carried away with such tempting offers which do not exist…….Take care……..

  • Ritwick

    the above mentioned incidence happened in Ahmedabad, Satellite STAR BAZAR………

  • vasudha

    thanks a ton for saving my time, money and hassle… i have an appointment with their executive tomorrow and since i am not going now someone from country vacations would call me.. i would use the opportunity to give this guy my piece of mind… again thanks:)

    • Venu

      Even I did receive a call from CV (in Changanacherry, Kerala) today. They have asked me to come over with my wife to collect a gift voucher for a free holiday for 4 people at any of their various destinations which include Malaysia, Thailand etc. Validity is for one year. When I asked repeatedly, the lady named Renji, repeatedly assured me that there were absolutely no other conditions, other than that we have to sit through their presentation. Sounds very attractive ??????

  • Nishita

    Hi All,Please do not ever ever opt for Country Vacations. They are fraud company. We were duped of around 2 Lakhs. It was our hard earned money. What irritates me most is no body is taking any step against them not even me for that matter. If nothing is done they will dupe more and more people.Regards,Nishita

  • BHARAT SHAH

  • shekhar

    friends,dont forget the old saying: THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH IN THIS WORLD!just believe in ur hard owned money n dont let urself in any trap.

    • nams

      I also got call from country vaccation, i have filled up the form in infinity mall n i got selected but after the site review i came to know everything is fraud, so that i saved my valuable time n i dont want cheap gifts from them, may be the gift value is not more than 100 rs. but we are paying that money for transportation, any body is looking for gift, go to the dollar shop n purchase it for your self, that is my advice……..so be aware from this type of calls :) have a fun n njoy that time with ur family :)
