Hi,

I have been contacted by Herold International (heroldinternational.com). Does anyone have any experience with the company? I tried to search the forum, there seems to be many people with comments but when I click the link it is referring to a different page.

Thanks.

libratiger74,

Never heard of Herold International. But I am sure its just another Scam company operated by the same group of scumbags who used to operate some other scam TS company before it close down.

Best is to ignore them, unless you have lots of time to waste.

Chomot,

One scammer from Connections accusing i-generic of scamming?
Ever heard of the term pot calling the kettle black?

BTW, just curious, would you mind sharing details on what "services" Connections provided you??
Chomot /THOR666

Generally, they prefer Cash &/or NETS. However from experience, I know CTT accept payment by Credit Card and CCS do not.

Hi! Victim of Scam. I'v sent U a PM.

Already send U another PM. Previous PM sent wrongly. Need to know how U get ur refund back. Did they post U the cheque, or U hv to go down to their office again?

FYI, the day I cancel the aggreement, they did not immediately give us the termination letter. Instead that "Wiranto" pass our letter nex door (Connection Tours) and the guy there tried to con us into buying some kind of membership. After we told them off, then they gave us the termination letter.

I tell them directly I want to cancel the agreement, serve them an official letter. They then gave me a letter to promise refund within 45 working days.

I called them numerous times to expedite payment but they keep dragging and dragging, saying they are not "in-charged" and cannot help. Tried to look for Bobby numerous times, and cannot get him. So I ask for Bobby's handphone number because I am sick of talking to all those useless people. But they say they cannot give me his handphone number, because they say its "personal".

This makes me extremely mad and I started shouting at them. Bobby's HANDPHONE NUMBER PERSONAL ??????????
I mean, these scumbags go the some data company and buy and sell my handphone number without my knowledge and consent, and without paying me money, and they have the gall to talk to me about handphone number confidentiality ???

Hi! Victim Of Scam & All Timeshare Victims.

We manage to get back the refund promised by CCS. Last Wednesday a guy frm Connection Tours called me asking when I am going to come down and collect my refund. I told him tomorrow (Thursday). Then he start telling me cannot saying the accts dept close, cheque not ready and blablabla... and told me to come down on Friday instead. I question him back why in the first place U ask me when I can come down to collect the cheque. Then when I insist on going down on Thursday, he started asking whether I hv recd the demand letter. I told him Yes, and ask him why. I also told him directly that Connection Tours is not related to CVC. He keep insisting that they are related and ask whether I hv seen their website. I told him straight in his face,that they are all scammers. Even after I told him that the cheque should be ready by now, as the refund aggreement has already exceeded 45 days, he still insisted that I shud come down on Friday.(I dont know what is his motive) I agreed after he made quite a fuss abt this.
We still went down on Thursday, and the fat guy who attended to us during the first meeting and whose sweet talk conned us into believing that their company is reliable and truthful was shocked to see us. My husband told him we are there to collect our cheque. At first he told us the accts person at Connection Tours is out for lunch or something and will be back by 2pm, but at that time its already 2.30pm. He even told us to go somewhere else and come back again 15mins time. This is one of their dirty tactics. I told him No, we are not going anywhere. So he ask us to wait in Connections Tours office, for the so called Accts person Kelvin. Actually before I hung up the call frm Connection Tours I told the guy, go on cheat people and be sinners for the rest of ur life.
So when that Kelvin actually came back after abt 15 mins wait, he did not say much, instead took a file thats written (Cancelled) on it, and went into another cubicle and came out few mins later and passed us a folded cheque dated 15/2/12 (Thursday). Because he didnt make any fuss or anything, we just walk off without creating a scene.

Now on the door of CCS office is written (Concept Vacation Club). And in Connection Tours office on the wall is a big frame Written Concept Vacation Club.
So Guys, If any of U out there who recd calls frm CVC or Concept Club Services (4th Floor Orchard Towers) or later maybe they go back to their old office at POMO, Please do not entertain them, just ignore them, hung up the phone, or U will be conned further.

JUST AS WE THOUGHT THAT THIS ISSUE IS SETTLED. THIS HAPPEN, THE CHEQUE WE RECD IS A BOUNCE CHEQUE. wHOA THESE SCUMBAGS IS REALLY GOING TO MAKE UR LIFE DIFFICULT. THEY ARE NOT GIVING UP THAT EASILY UNTIL THEY GOT UR HARD EARNED $$. NOW I DONT KNOW WHETHER I COULD TRUST U (VICTIM OF SCAM, GOOD SAMARITANS) BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT U GUYS GOT UR REFUND THAT EASY WITHOUT MUCH FUSS. ANYWAY NOW HV TO GO TO (SMALL CLAIMS TRIBUNAL) TO GET OUR MONEY BACK.

Alertliz,
Why was their cheque to you bounced? Any reason given by the bank ?

You and your hushand should go back there immediately to this Kevin guy and get another cheque from him. And demand on the spot for another cheque. To be sure its valid this time, one of you can remain in his office, the other go to the nearest bank to bank in the cheque.

The last time I took the CASE letter to give them 'By Hand' and demand them to sign an received acknowledgement, with their Company stamp (Connections Tours and Travel), they tried to bluff me by trying to use Dynamitz company stamp.

Before he can pick up that Dynamitz company stamp, I already saw its the Dynamitz stamp, because its lying right in front of my eyes.. I said NO. He said its the same. I said bullsh!t. Insist them to use the Connections Tours and Travel company stamp, which he then quite reluctantly did so.

I think these scumbags were all ex-Dynamitz people. A few in CCS must be ex-LGM people.

My cheque was bounced too. However, I acted fast by contacting the bank and was told the reason was "effects not cleared" [meaning that CCS had insufficient available balance in the account but CCS also had deposited cheques(s) into their bank account which was not cleared yet]. I then specially requested the bank to represent the returned cheque on the same day instead of sending it out to me which may take a few days to reach me before I can decide what to do.

Please call your banker to find out the reason.

BTW, I didn't had an easy time getting my refund. My experience with Connection Tours & Travel was worse... and I had to deal with the management staff of Dynamikz Netwerkz alone as CTT did not bother to assist... and thankfully I got my refund after 3 months.

Good Samaritan.

Do you think its a good idea that we, CVC members, write in to Concept Vacation Club to tell them everything that is going on with the scam co-operated by CCS and CTT.
We can point to CVC to this forum and other forums, and give specific details on what CCS/CTT are doing exactly.

Connections Tours and Travel, may be contractually appointed agent by CVC itself to service CVC members here. However, it is obvious to me now that they are using CCS, as an affliated third party (beyond CVC knowledge and authority to control) to scam CVC members.

Maybe CVC will terminate their contractual agreement with CTT, and probably sue them for damages.

Just a thought to get back at these scumbags.

I already did in early Oct 2011 and have in fact requested CVC to drop CTT as their appointed Corporate Office in Singapore. However, they did not reply to my e-mail and I later found out that CVC have instead put up a notice to warn members not to deal with CCS.

Btw, the cheque for the refund that I got from Dynamikz Netwerkz (represented by CTT) was also issued by CCS. As such, I confirmed that all 3 companies are related.

Do report them to CAD surely by the time there a lot of complaint from this company the law will take action even if you have gotten your money back so to help others not to be victims with their scam operation
