Must read : Time Share Scam Awareness! Don't be the next victim!

[crntbs]

Your friend is lucky plus she has the presence of mind to make copies of the termination notice.

In this instance where the law is clearly on CASE's side, they will confidently assist to pursue.

In those cases where people passed the cooling period, CASE simply throw them to die a less painful death (in negotiating a lesser 'penalty' amount).

Then in this case, depend on how much you have put in, terminate outright, change mobile number, change home address if possible.

That's why people are so frustrated with CASE the toothless tiger. They should take a note from BBB in US. They got power to put up notices and influence credit ratings on suspicious companies.

Imagine, the scammer is flagged as an alert everytime a new victim tries to swipe his credit card, the victim gets an SMS from the bank to caution him. It will make people think twice before swiping the credit card again and will force the coy to clean up their act or be less nefarious.

I'm merely responding to the poster that he's unable to get back his money even tho he has cancelled within the cooling period. Seems abit strange to me.

Asian Fair Trade Advisory Group

Check out rdo.org for consumer alert on ITRA.

From other website timesharepages.com/world-news/asia/case-solved-singapore-consumer-group-secures-injunction-against-timeshare-firm seems like these are the same operators.

David George Grimes and Taj Singh were with Beaufort Park. They are nice until you want to get your money back. Then they use intimidation. Now, they are with Asian Fair Trade Advisory Group!!!! Just got a call from them this afternoon. They now have another "legal advisor" Peter James.

Went to Small Claims Tribunal and got my money back. Taj Singh represented Beaufort Park in this case.

They are up to no good. Anyone who get a call from them should ignore their calls.

Pity those making the cold calls for them. Helping them get to vulnerable consumers who got trapped in timeshare purchase.

Beware of scam company just call the police or file a complaint to C.A.D singapore authority there are watching out for this holiday companies out there. So don't worry even if you have engaged a third party company to terminate via their lawyer services make sure you received the confirmation letter directly from the head office of you own membership club. BEWAREEEEEE

The cooling period thing is not really enforce by law in Singapore.
Consumer must learn as long as you don't sign anything, or pay out from your pocket, the money is still yours.

Once you have sign, you are done. Worse if you already pay for it.

Would like to alert Concepts Vacation Club (CVC) Members to exercise caution when dealing with these 3 companies:

1. Concepts Club Services Pte Ltd @ POMO Building

• claimed to be the authorised service centre for CVC, including collection of maintenance fees from CVC Members
• company's logo looks like CVC
• has old documents from the defunct LGM Singapore Branch

2. Connection Tours & Travel @ Orchard Towers

• according to CVC's website, this company is the corporate office in Singapore
• claimed to be servicing CVC Members too and said that Concepts Club Services Pte Ltd is related to CVC

3. Dynamikz Netwerkz @ Orchard Towers

• Connection Tours & Travel uses this company's letterhead and rubber stamp in the documentation for a timeshare-related transaction

NOTE:

1. Concepts Club Services Pte Ltd and Connection Tours & Travel have a business relationship;

2. CVC Membership Services has however confirmed that CVC does not have any relationship with Concepts Club Services Pte Ltd;

3. To date, CVC Membership Services has not verified the information provided in CVC's website stating that Connection Tours & Travel is CVC's corporate office in Singapore.

Have anyone been approached by I Genetic B & M Pte Ltd.
They claim they are appointed by Carryway to help member terminate their membership.
Please reply

 

[crntbs]

A very simple method to identify scam. Once they ask you to pump in more money in order to get back your money, exit immediately.

 

[bkmailsg]

Once bitten twice shy... I was biten once but I got back every single cent after lodging complain and make a big fuss almost everyday in their office.

 

[tmlr52]

VERIFY

Don't mind to sit down to entertain them. But if you say you are single, you are entitled to lesser / less expensive gift. They are targetting couples...especially your wives/gfs/mistress

 

[bojangle]

ALERT !!

Concept Club Services (claims to be CVC Singapore)in POMO Building is trying hard to call in all ex- LGM victims to ask to pay maintenance fee. Also after you have paid the maintenance fee, thier solicitors will communicate and terminate on behalf of you with CVC headquarters and you can recieve a huge sum as your membership today worth more than what you have paid for previously.

Nice try!! My friend almost believe it.

Nowadays... all choot so many patterns just to milk!!
