Hi All,
- On Saturday, the day before, I received a phone call from a representative of Country Club, Bangalore(Mr David) that I had filled in a form at Garuda Mall and had been chosen as one of the 500 ‘lucky winners’ from 100, 000 applicants. Mr David offered three ‘free gifts’ – which included a Rs 25, 000 worth holiday(one week’s stay at a five-star hotel in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Goa or Kerala), a one-day free outing at Country Club Sarjapur Rd, and a free ‘crystal’ kitchenware.
I went there along with my wife yesterday mroning. We were told to go through a one-hour presentation. The salesperson told us about their package of Rs. 1, 35, 000 /- which will give 2 weeks of vacation at any of their 5- star(?) resorts in India or world wide per year. This is for life time and for 3 Generations(bullshit!).Plus they pomised to give free memebershjip for life time to Country Clubs.and 1089 sqf.ft of land 70 km from New Airport at devenahalli aboslutely free!.That time itself I started getting doubts as it sounded too good to be true.however I told them that I wanted to discuss it with my brother who is in US and who is a member of Country club.and I would let them know in the evening.but they told that thta;s not possible and I will have to make atleast 50% of aishwaryasingh23ment right there.I declined the offer then and there(THANK GOD!), collected my free gift of cheap glass bowls, 1 days free entry to the Sarjapur club and the travel voucher to any of the 4 mentioned places.the travel time is from April - September 2008.
One question here.aftre reading all the reviews.i am happy that I made the right decision and escaped falling prey into their trap.however I wud like to know that can I go ahead with the 7 days 6 nights package as I have the voucher with me.? is it reliable enough? will there be any hidden costs later on? Pls let me know.u can reach me at sudheer_acharya@rediffmail.com.
