So, now I will give out to everyone the actual facts of my case with Globetrot - my previous comments were also correct barring that I did not lose my job because of Globetrot so Globetrot is not responsible for me having lost my job, it was a simple matter of layoffs but I was pressed to remove those comments without which I would not be given my refund (trust me, no Organization does that unless they run a shady business) Now coming to the point, just today, I decided that I am not going to remove my negative reviews of Globetrot because I got the feeling 100% that this Organization is offline and is not running anymore and they are just running a shady show behind the green screen. So before you give your hard earned money to them (Mohan Iyer & Co) please double check their website (you will not find that anymore since their domain is no more existing), double check their phone numbers (you would not find any landline numbers since all of those are disconnected two years back), they would only communicate through their cell phones and an email address (Inquirygts@yahoo.com), earlier which used to be (mohan@globetrot.com / Inquiry@Globetrot.com) I cannot comment like others whether the Recruiters who used to communicate with me were original or fake since I do not have anything to prove otherwise but they only used to communicate with me over Skype during the nights. and this was only twice / thrice over a period of five years, of course out of this I was delayed in the process because I got my transcripts late owing to a miscommunication with an ex-employee of Globetrot and me and since my IELTS results were lost by BlueDart and it took me some time to take BlueDart and the British Council to task through the Diplomatic route and hence, there were some delays. I will come to the details with a timeline later, however, for everyone to understand when things started going downhill was when Mohan Iyer would not be picking up my calls majority of the time and I used to get frustrated, I also understand that he would be having meetings and all, however, what used to irk me is that there would be noone else in Globetrot who would communicate with me neither would he bother to call sometimes for days at a stretch. The other employees that I had ever spoken to in Globetrot were Harsha (2015), Divya (2016) and Raphael(2016) post which I would only be communicating with Mohan Iyer and these communication were fine and there were no issues. What was also aggravating me was that the first ever Interview I ever had was in 2018 (May - I have all the Skype Chat transcripts too) and she asked me all sorts of aptitude Questions which was weird to me since I am a Project Management guy and they would be asking me this, to which Mohan Iyer had mentioned that this is how the rounds are generally taken, to which I never had a problem. The next interview that ever happened for me was in the month of January (2019 - again I still have the chat transcripts) post which all these interviews dried up and I would be waiting for more interviews but to no avail and everytime I had to call and ask them for the updates but there would no proactive calls from the other end. During this period, I happened to lose my job in July end of 2019 and incidentally, my IELTS score had also expired (IELTS are valid only for 2 years) and hence, I expressed my inability to continue with my application (this was not a fault of Globetrot), however, what followed was purely a fault of Globetrot in terms of professionalism and timeliness to revert to a client. Mohan Iyer had mentioned that his team would email me, however, they took some time to revert to me to ask me for my account details. Post this, again, there was a lull and everytime it had to be from my end that I would have to keep asking them what is the update and all this merry go around wtih Globetrot happened till Dec 19th post which a Finance Employee called Bhavesh called me up and mentioned that he would try to get my refund within 30 days given my adverse conditions and for this I was thanking Globetrot since at least I was offered to get INR 35000 out of the INR80000 excl. taxes that I paid out of Humanitarian gestures. To this, I had some queries for Mohan Iyer to which he would not be picking up calls majorly and this started happening after I dropped the bomb called "withdrawal". So, yes, I had called Mohan Iyer n number of times but to no avail just for a question since I was in dire straits having lost my job and still wetting my feet to these situations. He would always ask you to call during Office hours, but would not bother to pick up calls during office hours and if you would call during off hours, he would simply say please call during office hours. During this phase, I had also developed suicidal tendencies and was reading reviews and was getting panicky, owing to which of course my wife got flustered and she would call him at all hours for him to realize what does pressure mean when your banks are hounding you for money and your spouse develops a fear which is related to finances, of course noone wants a situation like that, but I was said that my wife is sending disparaging remarks, and is abusive which is crap to the core and I was said to be threatening him, I am sure many of the audiences here understand that when a person is telling you that if he does not have any money to feed his family or to repay the banks, then he may not have an option but to end himself, he is not threatening you but sharing his dire straits with you, but for Globetrot's wonderful empathetic repartee to this, they kept blaming me for disparaging remarks and threatening them (have all the emails with this statement reiterated). The other wonderful point is that Mohan Iyer can reply to whatsapp messages during off hours but does not bother to pick up his calls during off hours. So yes, after getting frustrated with the non chalant attitude I also sent these reviews' screenshots to Mohan Iyer on whatsapp, I was given a lecture on 25th about how and when to talk to him and post that a verbal volley of words post which we cooled down, however, the same attitude crept back again, where he would not bother to pick up phone calls and etc. Meanwhile, our new guy on the review, Bhavesh, who said he is from the Finance, mentioned that I should be getting my refund by Jan 19th first and then this date shifted to Jan 25th or 26th and then to the end of Jan again and till here, our so called Finance guy has no clue that the "Management" of Globetrot is miffed with my reviews written on the 25th of Dec (my reviews above) and that my refund should be stopped. Till the end of Jan, he had been harping that they have an account in PMC Bank and that their withdrawal limits are frozen and they cannot withdraw beyond a certain limit and hence, they are making alternate arrangements (Globetrot has an ICICI bank account too, which I am sure is just as defunct as their website) and this show went on till about first week of February, first the refund was supposed to be paid in full then was moved back to installments of INR10, 000 but now a new medley was getting sung saying since I had posted these reviews above, I would have to remove the comments before I would be getting my refund. Reviews on Complaint Board cannot be removed without a Court Order but as per our Globetrot friends, seemingly they are in touch with an Image Management Consultant Company which is charging them INR15, 000 to remove each review which was a shocker to me. So, Globetrot does not have money to refund its own Clients immediately out of "Humanitarian" grounds but has got money to shell out to a Company which would supposedly remove these complaints. This portion should go to Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Now, when asked about it, I am said, if it is of any business to me, seemingly two clients have developed cold feet and the third has signed up and they were supposed to refund me from that amount and now they have to pay that company to remove those comments.
After having read this, I am not sure, how many of you would believe all of it, but there has been a long exchange of emails between Inquirygts@yahoo.com in which I was pressured to acknowledge that I had written these reviews out of haste and that I had committed a mistake in writing those reviews and was asked to write a positive review. I have seen Organizations getting negative reviews and try to fix it on their own by reaching out to the Customer by fixing up the Service and getting things sorted, but in this case, it hasnt been so. I was informed today that by Saturday it will be checked if these comments have been Organically removed. Oh, by the way, do not even trust the guy who keeps calling you from Finance team if you have withdrawn. This guy, Bhavesh would always keep his phone switched off and he would tell you Aesop's fables saying he was in a physiotherapy session, he was in a workshop, he was on leave etc etc etc. Now I am sure many of you reading this review would agree that in whatever situations, we try to keep our phones on and on a silent mode and the various modes that technology has developed, but this guy's phone would always be off. I am sure this should be enough for your understanding as to whether or not to trust Globetrot and do business with them. By the language of the email, you would always feel it is Mohan Iyer who is communicating with you on email, since it is the same arrogance and the lexicon used by Mohan Iyer on chats with me on whatsapp and the emails. I have all the emails, all the whatsapp messages, all the screenshots whenever I called Mohan Iyer and he never responded and how many texts have I dropped and how many times has he responded. If anyone is interested to know this case more, please feel free to reach out.You are free to reach out to Bhavesh on [protected] and his phone would always be switched off unless he wants to reach out to you. Thanks.
