Vacation Internationale cheats - how to get deposit money back

This review is created to make public aware about timeshare scam by vacation international, operating in Dubai. Also to help lot more innocent victims to retreive money from these cheaters.

About Vacation International Frauds,
Dear all,
If you’re seeing this message means you must be a victim of this company. They are full of lies right from the beginning, all promises were fake. They are professional in cheating business, they know how to bait the hook by playing around the UAE law. Even Dubai Economics Department accepts they are cheating (refer gulf news article link), DED simply says "only higher authorities can take action against them". Still if you go to court, you may have to spend 5000+ Dhs to conduct the case which is not possible for a common expat. Some people manage to conduc
t case in Dubai court, and get favorable judgment (which confirms they are cheaters). They even threaten you to drop the case, this means they are not only cheaters but also criminals.

Those who've made contract with these cheaters, please read through the below points (actions to follow) to retrieve your money back.
This is applicable only within 10 days of contract signing, after that no way (except court)

1. Do not communicate with vacation cheaters at all.
2. Go directly to Dubai Economic Department (Ahlan Dubai) near clock tower round about.
3.Take all your contract papers, receipt documents & submit the complaint by filling the form given by them.
4.Initially DED may resist to accept your complaint, don’t leave them stay strong on your point (tell them I want to meet higher authority, if you don’t take my case).
5.After filing complaint, don’t ever ever listen to vacation cheaters. They will try to give you more offers to make you take back the complaint.
6.If you listen to them, that’s it they will fool you again.

Already so many cases are going in Dubai court, even court has ordered them to refund the money to some victims. Now some of the recent victims are going to file a group case against these cheaters, those who are willing can join.

As usual I am not a competitor of vacation cheaters, am also an innocent victim trying to retrieve my money back.

All I’ve mentioned is true, so many hundreds of people have lost their money (refer gulf news article).

Vacation Internationale cheats - fake message by vacation international sales people

Dear Friends,
Recently their sales people have started writing satisfied messages in complaints board website, think of it "Why so many good messages are written within 2 weeks time & that too by same people". I repeat, I am not a competitor. I am just an innocent victim lost my money 19000+ from these cheaters.

They dont need a competitor to spoil their name, its already published in gulf news that they are cheating people. Refer Gulf news link
http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/complaints/time-share-scam-targets-gullible-customers-1.1022057

Most importantly dubai court has given a judgement to return money to victims, now they are re appealing 4th time. They were even threatening the customer to withdraw the case from dubai court. All I've mentioned is true from the bottom of my heart.

Dear Public
Yesterday I got a call from one of the victim, he says " I signed contract with them on 2010, also paid all installments of 28K+ & still now didn't get rent out money from that interval website". While he is not able to sell his timeshare property as well, over and above he has to pay yearly maintenance charges. THIS IS THE PROBLEM (I gave you live example)
I can list out all fake promises:
1. Vacation international will rent minimum 4-6 weeks from the customer, with a comission for them. (Actual case is "they dont rent for us at all")
2.Customers can withdraw the money anytime through ADCB Bank (Lie)
3.They say you can get rent out offer of 2000 to 3000 $ for double romm 6 occupancy (Actual case is "You will not get any offer at all")
4.Their customer service staffs are very very inefficient, not available all time, they say will call u back (but never).

Ultimately, If you invest in some property there should be some benefit out of it. In presentation they say you can make good money by renting weeks. Otherwise you can sell property at good appreciation. NOTHING HAPPENS - ALL ARE LIES - CHEATERS
Whatever these cheaters promise in the presentation is a total lie, the above case is the proof. These cheaters play with "trust", for which only god can punish them.

@ AFREED - I doubt your a manager in vacation international.

If your a frequent traveller (well enough to spend money lavishly) it may benefit you, otherwise its simply waste of time & money. Renting weeks will not work / benefit an individual, until unless your full time is dedicated in renting online (which I've experienced - very very tough). My advice better close it as early as possible.

Vacation Internationale fraud

Vacation International Dubai have cheated us and many are being cheated by this company. We need to work as a team and close this company down. They need to return the hard-earned money of all those being cheated. The stalls put up in lamcy and other shopping centers need to be closed. I have lost 17000 and have been fighting for a year but no use.

Let's Cooperate
I'm a victim to this company, after listening to presentation and discussion over 4 hrs i sign the contract blindly trusting in my countrymen Egyptian sales "Sherif Wagdy", i received the contract after 15 days of signature found totally different to what was said I had many meetings in the company with different people to solve it by negotiation but they designed the system very well that i have no prove by what so ever i was promised its all lies after lies, now after 7 months i decided to File a Lawsuit against this company this case will have big chances to win if we are many against this company, i already hired a lower and started in the process, if you scammed and you want to have your money back please contact me to work together eng_fouadpower@hotmail.com

Vacation Internationale cheaters under time share shade : نصب واحتيال تحت مسمى السياحة والسفر.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الموضوع: نصب واحتيال تحت مسمى السياحة والسفر.
لمن يهمه الامر:
تحية طيبه وبعد,
2011 وبينما نحن نتسوق في السوق الصيني-دبي، استدرجنا احد المندوبين من باب احد /5/ في تاريخ 29
المحلات التجاريه المجاوره للستاند الخاص بشرآة الإجازات الدوليه. لقد تم أخذ اسمي وبعض المعلومات
عني وأخبرنا بانه سيتم الاتصال بنا في حال تم اختيارنا من قبل الشرآه للحصول على جائزه.
في اليوم التالي تم الاتصال بي وحسب لهجة المتصل يمكن القول بانها سيدة إماراتية الجنسيه وتم إخباري
باني حصلت على جائزه آدعايه من شرآتهم وسيكون هناك حفل لتسليم الجائزه وعلينا الحضور في موعد
محدد.
وبالفعل ذهبت أنا وزوجتي في نفس الموعد الى مكتب الشرآه حسب العنوان الموجود على القسيمة
المعطاه من قبل المندوب.
في حال وصولنا تم استقبالنا من قبل مندوبيهم وادخلنا الى قاعه مليئه بعائلات من مختلف الجنسيات. لم يكن
هناك اي مظاهر احتفال او اي مواعيد لبدء الاحتفال المزعم من قبلهم. على العكس تماماً آانت القاعه عاديه
جدا في مظهرها وصوت الموسيقى عالي بحيث لا تستطيع سماع ما يقوله المندوبون الآخرون للعائلات
الاخرى.
بدأ المندوب بعرض فكرة " المشارآة بالوقت" او الذي درج تحت مسمى "التايم شير" علينا وآانت هي
المره الاولى نسمع بتلك الفكره. استطيع ان اقول الان تحديدا ان المندوب آان سعيدا بجهلنا بالموضوع
حسناته ومساؤه لنكون فريسه سهله له. وطيلة فترة العرض الذي استمر معنا اآثر من ثلاث ساعات تطرق
باستنزاف لكل حسنات النظام ولم يتطرق لأي مساوئ قد نواجهها في المستقبل بل على العكس آان جازما
بانه نظام ناجح جدا بدون اي مساوئ وهي فرصة ذهبيه لنا باننا قدمنا اليوم لعرض شرآتهم.
لقد آنت منذ البدايه غير متفق مع المندوب بفكرة "التايم شير" على الاطلاق آوني في مقتبل عمري وفي
مرحلة التاسيس ولست مغرما بالسفر. الا ان المندوب أقنعنا بان الموضوع فرصه ذهبيه لا تعوض
للاستثمار وهذا آان المدخل الوحيد لاقناعنا. وتم اغرائنا بان الاسبوع الواحد في هذا المنتجع يتم تأجيره
٣٠٠٠ الفان- ثلاثة الاف دولار امريكي. وطريقة تأجيره سهلة للغاية عن طريق موقع – بمبلغ ٢٠٠٠
إلكتروني متخصص تتعامل شرآتهم معه, ولم يخبرنا بان هذا الموقع يستوفي رسوم مقابل الاعلان التي
تبين فيما بعد انهاتستوفي ١٩٩ دولار.
لقد آنت بعد آل المحاولات من المندوب بعملية استدراجي لمرحلة الدفع متمسكا بموقف المتردد والمتخوف
من الشرآة ان تكون شرآة نصب، وطلبت مهله يوم او يومان لدراسة الموضوع واذا تأآدت من الفائده
الاستثمارية التي هي الأساس من وراء عملية الشراء أعود للشرآة واثقا من جميع النواحي. الا أنا المندوب
أصر جازما ان هذا عرضا استثنائيا وصالح فقط لذلك اليوم. آما انه اخبرني بان مالك للشرآه هوعبدالمجيد
حسن عبدالرحيم الملا وهو حسب آلامه مالك شرآة طيران الامارات وانه مؤسس شرآة الإجازات الدوليه
منذ عام ١٩٩٦ وانه لا داعي للخوف فنحن شرآة عريقه وناجحه ولولا ذالك لما بقيت آل تلك الأعوام في
سوق السياحه والسفر.
بعد آل تلك المعلومات والأسماء التي نحن آوافدين مطمئنين لمكانتها في الدوله الاماراتيه وان دائرة
السياحه لن تقبل بوجود شرآات نصب في إماره دبي تسيء الى سمعتها طلبنا من المندوب إعطائنا العقود
لقراءتها والتمعن بها. الا ان المندوب أصر بان ما قاله بالحرف موجود بالعقود ولا داعي لكل هذا الشك
وطلب بطاقة الائتمان ليذهب الى المدير المالي ويحضر العقود ليرينا اياها.
تفاجئت بالمدير المالي وإذ هو قد سحب المبلغ المالي من دون ان يريني العقود آأسلوب فرض الواقع. لم
يكن لدي الخبره الكافيه أني قد استطيع الغاء البطاقه بالحال او حتى أدبيا ان لا أوقع على العقد. ولكن آما
أسلفت ثقتي بالدوله التي اسكنها أعطتني نوع من الراحه.
قد استطيع القول أني صعقت عندما اخبرني المدير المالي ان المبلغ المسحوب غير مسترد فايقنت وقتها
أني مرغم لا محاله بالتوقيع على العقد حتى اضمن حقي بالمبلغ الذي دفعته.
وعندما قرأت العقد وجدت آثيرا من بنوده غير متطابقه مع آلام المندوب، من ابرزها ان شرآتهم غير
مسؤوله عن التاجير وان الاستبدال داخل دبي ليس متاحا وان معظم الدول العربيه غير موجوده في هذه
المنظمه، وبعض الدول السياحيه الكبرى غير موجوده ضمن المنظمه الذي غاير آلام مندوبهم الحرفي " اي
مكان في العالم".
والانكى من ذلك ان هديتهم وهي أسبوعان اقامه في شرم الشيخ ملزمه بدفع قيمة الوجبات التي تساوي ٣٠
دولارا للشخص الواحد في اليوم الواحد وهي في عداد دفع التكاليف الكليه اذا تم الرجوع الى اسعار الاقامه
التي لم تتجاوز ال ٥٠ دولار للشخصان مع وجبات الإفطار.
بناء على ما سبق وآما اوضحت لقد آانت عملية البيع غير نزيهه وغير شفافه على الاطلاق وتم استغفالي
واستغلال ثقتي الغير محدوده بعدم وجود شرآات آهذه في الدوله في عملية البيع هذه.
بعد فترة شهر تم الالتقاء بطريق الصدفه بأحد ضحايا هذه الشرآه الذي قد وقع في نفس الفخ وبنفس
الاسلوب والذي بدوره جمعني بثماني أشخاص لهم نفس القصه وعندما تبادلنا الحديث وجدت ان منهم من
اشترى منذ اآتوبر و نوفمبر الماضي. وعلى الرغم من ذلك لم يستلموا عقود عضويتهم بالمنظمه الدوليه
المنظمه لل" التايم شير" وهي " انتيرفال انتيرناشونال". مما سبق استدللت على ان النية في النصب آانت
مبيته عند هذه الشرآه. بحيث ان العميل بعد ان يعلم بحقيقة الامر بعد عملية البيع الغير نزيهه يفقد الأمل في
استرجاع النقود وآون العقود قانونيه وواضحه بان المبلغ المدفوع غير مسترد فيفقد الأمل في استرجاع
نقوده ولا يكمل باقي الدفعات. وبحسب عقودهم أيضاً ان من يتخلف عن الدفع لدفعتين متتاليتين يفسخ عقده
من دون سابق إنذار. وبناء عليه آانت الشرآه قاصدة تاخير الاشتراك بالمنظمة بحيث اذا لم يكمل الزبون
عقده يكون المبلغ المدفوع للشرآه نفسها وهكذا تصبح الاموال من حقهم بطريقه سهله. وهذا ما قد حصل
مع الاشخاص الذين التقيت بهم وهو ما دفعنا الى رفع الشكوى لكم وعدم السكوت والرضى بالامر الواقع
حتى يكون اجراء قانوني رادع لمثل هذه الشرآات.
وعلى سبيل التنويه فان من وقع في مصيدة مثل هذه الشرآات هم آثر ولكن آما أسلفت العقود القانونيه
آانت درعهم الحامي بغض النظر عن اساليبهم في إقناع العملاء هي التي جعلتهم موجودون على ارض
دولة الامارات الشقيقه من غير حساب.
آما وددت ان ارفق بعض المستندات التي وجدتها على الشبكة الالكترونيه من بعض الاخوان السياح العرب
الذين يشكون بمراره ان اول زيارة لهم لهذا البلد العزيز قد انتهت بعملية نصب وآونهم خارج الدوله لم
يستطيعوا تقديم أية شكوى.
فلكم ان تتخيلوا آم من الاشخاص الذين وقعوا في هذا الفخ و آم هي الاموال الطائله التي هي عزيزة على
أصحابها التي قد أتت بكد وتعب ولكنها ذهبت على ايدي أشخاص لا يخافون الله بطريقة نصب قذره.
فإنني وبالنيابة عن الأصدقاء الذين وقعوا معي في هذا الفخ أناشد آل من بيده سلطة في هذه الدولة الحبيبة
ان يجد لنا حلا في وقف هذه الشرآات في التلاعب بأموال الناس.
ودمتم عونا لنا في ديارآم العزيزه.

Dear Mohmd.

Thanks for your call and as per our conversation I am glad to meet you on the decided time and venue but before we meet, I would like you to simply reply to each of the following points so that we could broadly agree on the issues for our next meeting. It should be very simple for you to answer as these are the basic attractions of your scheme which are explained on daily basis to hundreds of people. I hope to get your email latest by Thursday evening to continue our discussions.
1. It was clearly told by Sales managers repeatedly that the main income of Vacation international is from 10% commission on the rental income. It was also specifically told and assured that all my future EMI’s will be covered by the rental income and within one year or maximum two years I will recover my initial cost paid to buy this package. The sales manager had clarified this thing more than 10 times atleast.
2. This was specifically told that there is no exchange fee if we opt for the international membership with Interval, which is free of cost for first three years and after that I have to pay annual fee of USD 60. They had also explained many other benefits of the membership card like getting 25% to 50% discounts on air tickets etc.
3. There won’t be any annual maintenance charges with this package.
4. Every year stay of 1+12 weeks would be absolutely free of cost. We don’t need to pay any kind of additional charges. We had asked many times about this and it was assured that it is all free of cost. What we need to do is only to inform 21days before date of travel or book online.
Please note that the above questions were repeatedly asked and every time it was assured that the facility or scheme is there.
We had made the payment against this package entirely based on the presentation and promises made rather than the documents signed in the late night in shady and noisy atmosphere. We were absolutely tired of listening extra-ordinary loud music. We were already getting late and children wanted to leave your office immediately. On the top of it we were not allowed to read any page which I signed because of the comments of the 3-4 person around me that whatever told is true and included there and I will have sufficient time to read it at home. I have not received any document till date except your first email where the contents were quite different. This was told that in case the company does not provide the promised services, one can always go for legal action.
This is the first sign of good business people to stay on their promises.
In any case, I have not used any of the services till date neither I have received any document from your side, in case of disagreement, we should mutually cancel this deal.
Regards,
Om Gupta

Vacation Internationale false commitment & poor customer service

I have paid AED 17950 on 19th April 2011 and signed the contract. They have not given any time to thinks and promised false things as mentioned below:

1. They informed that there are so many places in India under their scheme. We specially ask Goa they told yes and Atlantis in Dubai. But today when visited international interval website both the places are not there. In India only two places are there.
2. They informed that your week will be sold just like that and informed that one person has signed the contract and next day he got money back by selling their week. I have advertise and till today nothing is sold.
3. They informed lot of facilities like food and other amenities will be free but afterwards I come to know that it is not true.
4. They informed signed contract will be received in one month but it was received in two and half month after follow up. ( Evidence available)
5. International membership card should be received in three months but till today I have not received the international card.
6. Nobody is taking phone and forwarding to Mohammad the in-charge. ( It can be tried by anyone)
7. No reply is given for mails send to them for follow up. I have written mail on 23rd July, 31st July, 3rd August and 7th August but nobody replied. Even I have written to their Egypt office customer service also. ( All mail copy can be given)
8. They are replying only when they see any chances for earning money.
9. Today I visited personally when I was unable to contact them on phone. That time also they told that we will reply my mail today but no reply came.

Dear Friends,
Recently their sales people have started writing satisfied messages in complaints board website, think of it "Why so many good messages are written within 2 weeks time & that too by same people". I repeat, I am not a competitor. I am just an innocent victim lost my money 19000+ from these cheaters.

They dont need a competitor to spoil their name, its already published in gulf news that they are cheating people. Refer Gulf news link

Hello,
I realiaze now that i have just been duped by this company. I just paid 17, 950AED representing 50% part payment on 4th January, 2012 having been on vacation in Dubai.
All promises made by the company is unfortunately false. I am very furious with myself for falling into this trap. And they know what they are doing when they tell you to come with your family. In this instance, it was my wife that got us to sign ths contract, because she does a lot of travelling ans she would benefit from this investment.
I would not longer subscribe payment to his scheme. It is a complete fraud.
Is it possible to collect back this money that translate to over $4, 000? I am open to any suggestion or advice.

تحية طيبه وبعد,
2011 وبينما نحن نتسوق في السوق الصيني-دبي، استدرجنا احد المندوبين من باب احد /5/ في تاريخ 29
المحلات التجاريه المجاوره للستاند الخاص بشرآة الإجازات الدوليه. لقد تم أخذ اسمي وبعض المعلومات
عني وأخبرنا بانه سيتم الاتصال بنا في حال تم اختيارنا من قبل الشرآه للحصول على جائزه.
في اليوم التالي تم الاتصال بي وحسب لهجة المتصل يمكن القول بانها سيدة إماراتية الجنسيه وتم إخباري
باني حصلت على جائزه آدعايه من شرآتهم وسيكون هناك حفل لتسليم الجائزه وعلينا الحضور في موعد
محدد.
وبالفعل ذهبت أنا وزوجتي في نفس الموعد الى مكتب الشرآه حسب العنوان الموجود على القسيمة
المعطاه من قبل المندوب.
في حال وصولنا تم استقبالنا من قبل مندوبيهم وادخلنا الى قاعه مليئه بعائلات من مختلف الجنسيات. لم يكن
هناك اي مظاهر احتفال او اي مواعيد لبدء الاحتفال المزعم من قبلهم. على العكس تماماً آانت القاعه عاديه
جدا في مظهرها وصوت الموسيقى عالي بحيث لا تستطيع سماع ما يقوله المندوبون الآخرون للعائلات
الاخرى.
بدأ المندوب بعرض فكرة " المشارآة بالوقت" او الذي درج تحت مسمى "التايم شير" علينا وآانت هي
المره الاولى نسمع بتلك الفكره. استطيع ان اقول الان تحديدا ان المندوب آان سعيدا بجهلنا بالموضوع
حسناته ومساؤه لنكون فريسه سهله له. وطيلة فترة العرض الذي استمر معنا اآثر من ثلاث ساعات تطرق
باستنزاف لكل حسنات النظام ولم يتطرق لأي مساوئ قد نواجهها في المستقبل بل على العكس آان جازما
بانه نظام ناجح جدا بدون اي مساوئ وهي فرصة ذهبيه لنا باننا قدمنا اليوم لعرض شرآتهم.
لقد آنت منذ البدايه غير متفق مع المندوب بفكرة "التايم شير" على الاطلاق آوني في مقتبل عمري وفي
مرحلة التاسيس ولست مغرما بالسفر. الا ان المندوب أقنعنا بان الموضوع فرصه ذهبيه لا تعوض
للاستثمار وهذا آان المدخل الوحيد لاقناعنا. وتم اغرائنا بان الاسبوع الواحد في هذا المنتجع يتم تأجيره
٣٠٠٠ الفان- ثلاثة الاف دولار امريكي. وطريقة تأجيره سهلة للغاية عن طريق موقع – بمبلغ ٢٠٠٠
إلكتروني متخصص تتعامل شرآتهم معه, ولم يخبرنا بان هذا الموقع يستوفي رسوم مقابل الاعلان التي
تبين فيما بعد انهاتستوفي ١٩٩ دولار.
لقد آنت بعد آل المحاولات من المندوب بعملية استدراجي لمرحلة الدفع متمسكا بموقف المتردد والمتخوف
من الشرآة ان تكون شرآة نصب، وطلبت مهله يوم او يومان لدراسة الموضوع واذا تأآدت من الفائده
الاستثمارية التي هي الأساس من وراء عملية الشراء أعود للشرآة واثقا من جميع النواحي. الا أنا المندوب
أصر جازما ان هذا عرضا استثنائيا وصالح فقط لذلك اليوم. آما انه اخبرني بان مالك للشرآه هوعبدالمجيد
حسن عبدالرحيم الملا وهو حسب آلامه مالك شرآة طيران الامارات وانه مؤسس شرآة الإجازات الدوليه
منذ عام ١٩٩٦ وانه لا داعي للخوف فنحن شرآة عريقه وناجحه ولولا ذالك لما بقيت آل تلك الأعوام في
سوق السياحه والسفر.
بعد آل تلك المعلومات والأسماء التي نحن آوافدين مطمئنين لمكانتها في الدوله الاماراتيه وان دائرة
السياحه لن تقبل بوجود شرآات نصب في إماره دبي تسيء الى سمعتها طلبنا من المندوب إعطائنا العقود
لقراءتها والتمعن بها. الا ان المندوب أصر بان ما قاله بالحرف موجود بالعقود ولا داعي لكل هذا الشك
وطلب بطاقة الائتمان ليذهب الى المدير المالي ويحضر العقود ليرينا اياها.
تفاجئت بالمدير المالي وإذ هو قد سحب المبلغ المالي من دون ان يريني العقود آأسلوب فرض الواقع. لم
يكن لدي الخبره الكافيه أني قد استطيع الغاء البطاقه بالحال او حتى أدبيا ان لا أوقع على العقد. ولكن آما
أسلفت ثقتي بالدوله التي اسكنها أعطتني نوع من الراحه.
قد استطيع القول أني صعقت عندما اخبرني المدير المالي ان المبلغ المسحوب غير مسترد فايقنت وقتها
أني مرغم لا محاله بالتوقيع على العقد حتى اضمن حقي بالمبلغ الذي دفعته.
وعندما قرأت العقد وجدت آثيرا من بنوده غير متطابقه مع آلام المندوب، من ابرزها ان شرآتهم غير
مسؤوله عن التاجير وان الاستبدال داخل دبي ليس متاحا وان معظم الدول العربيه غير موجوده في هذه
المنظمه، وبعض الدول السياحيه الكبرى غير موجوده ضمن المنظمه الذي غاير آلام مندوبهم الحرفي " اي
مكان في العالم".
والانكى من ذلك ان هديتهم وهي أسبوعان اقامه في شرم الشيخ ملزمه بدفع قيمة الوجبات التي تساوي ٣٠
دولارا للشخص الواحد في اليوم الواحد وهي في عداد دفع التكاليف الكليه اذا تم الرجوع الى اسعار الاقامه
التي لم تتجاوز ال ٥٠ دولار للشخصان مع وجبات الإفطار.
بناء على ما سبق وآما اوضحت لقد آانت عملية البيع غير نزيهه وغير شفافه على الاطلاق وتم استغفالي
واستغلال ثقتي الغير محدوده بعدم وجود شرآات آهذه في الدوله في عملية البيع هذه.
بعد فترة شهر تم الالتقاء بطريق الصدفه بأحد ضحايا هذه الشرآه الذي قد وقع في نفس الفخ وبنفس
الاسلوب والذي بدوره جمعني بثماني أشخاص لهم نفس القصه وعندما تبادلنا الحديث وجدت ان منهم من
اشترى منذ اآتوبر و نوفمبر الماضي. وعلى الرغم من ذلك لم يستلموا عقود عضويتهم بالمنظمه الدوليه
المنظمه لل" التايم شير" وهي " انتيرفال انتيرناشونال". مما سبق استدللت على ان النية في النصب آانت
مبيته عند هذه الشرآه. بحيث ان العميل بعد ان يعلم بحقيقة الامر بعد عملية البيع الغير نزيهه يفقد الأمل في
استرجاع النقود وآون العقود قانونيه وواضحه بان المبلغ المدفوع غير مسترد فيفقد الأمل في استرجاع
نقوده ولا يكمل باقي الدفعات. وبحسب عقودهم أيضاً ان من يتخلف عن الدفع لدفعتين متتاليتين يفسخ عقده
من دون سابق إنذار. وبناء عليه آانت الشرآه قاصدة تاخير الاشتراك بالمنظمة بحيث اذا لم يكمل الزبون
عقده يكون المبلغ المدفوع للشرآه نفسها وهكذا تصبح الاموال من حقهم بطريقه سهله. وهذا ما قد حصل
مع الاشخاص الذين التقيت بهم وهو ما دفعنا الى رفع الشكوى لكم وعدم السكوت والرضى بالامر الواقع
حتى يكون اجراء قانوني رادع لمثل هذه الشرآات.
وعلى سبيل التنويه فان من وقع في مصيدة مثل هذه الشرآات هم آثر ولكن آما أسلفت العقود القانونيه
آانت درعهم الحامي بغض النظر عن اساليبهم في إقناع العملاء هي التي جعلتهم موجودون على ارض
دولة الامارات الشقيقه من غير حساب.
آما وددت ان ارفق بعض المستندات التي وجدتها على الشبكة الالكترونيه من بعض الاخوان السياح العرب
الذين يشكون بمراره ان اول زيارة لهم لهذا البلد العزيز قد انتهت بعملية نصب وآونهم خارج الدوله لم
يستطيعوا تقديم أية شكوى.
فلكم ان تتخيلوا آم من الاشخاص الذين وقعوا في هذا الفخ و آم هي الاموال الطائله التي هي عزيزة على
أصحابها التي قد أتت بكد وتعب ولكنها ذهبت على ايدي أشخاص لا يخافون الله بطريقة نصب قذره.
فإنني وبالنيابة عن الأصدقاء الذين وقعوا معي في هذا الفخ أناشد آل من بيده سلطة في هذه الدولة الحبيبة
ان يجد لنا حلا في وقف هذه الشرآات في التلاعب بأموال الناس.
ودمتم عونا لنا في ديارآم العزيزه.

Vacation Internationale vacation international

On March 11, 2010, I got a call to pay $250 for the Las Vegas trip.
They promised me to refund the $250 once I attend the Vacation International Resort time share presentation
at Las Vegas. I then went to Vegas and met those Vacation International time share sales people.
They seemed to be VERY nice and friendly people. I got the tru-cash gift card for $250.
The expiry date on the gift card is 2013. Unfortunately, a month later, when I tried to
use the card, I was told the card had expired. I call the Tru-cash and was told Vacation International Resort
had purchased, loaded and hold the card 6 weeks before handing it to me.
It is not fair for Vacation International Resort to hold the gift card for 6 weeks
and I was not given enough time to use the gift card. Vacation Internation Resort owed me the card balance of $200
as I was unable to use the card. I called them a lot of times and the manage did not return any but one of my calls.
The Vacation International Resort did not even try to resolve this small matter.
How are they going to do their business? I had this very bad experience dealing with Vacation International Resort.
I felt that Vacation International Resort tricked me.
I would like to alert anyone doing business with Vacation International Resort.
They may have other tricks too. I would appreciate very much if everyone who has any idea on how to get my money back.
Thanks for sharing.

Vacation Internationale cheats in dubai

I Harish Chander was walking with wife in Dubai festival city in 2008 where a passer by tells me that i have won a trip to abroad just free and ask us to attend a Presentation happening in building opposite Al Kabayal Center . we went saw group of people waiting to receive them at gate and take them to small table where this presenter is showing the plan. they do all verbal show you big dreams. give you a simple sheet which entitles you to take a trip abroad to your wish destination. tells you you can with draw your capital any time if you wish so. which means investment if you can not pay withdraw it. there is the catch. no matter how many times i visited, no matter how many times i plead, no matter how many times i requested to get my investment back there is no relief. They did not sent me the final contract till today neither they can prove if they have sent. i could not pay my further installments after paying thrice for more than 11500 dhs due to job loss and heavy debts.
its group of people sitting and doing it very organized way. When i call the presenter he promises that send me an sms to him he will look after all, but never. Man who is heading this group is Mr. Serry +[protected]. never calls back and always promise to call back. takes your number very professionally and wants you to leave the office soon so that you can not meet many people same like you fighting for there money to return.
they promise to sell your time share but actually do none.
they tell you you can sell on line but will show you none way.
they ask me that now that resort plan we dont sell any more. but its not my prob i am an investor and i believe you what you tell me. they should help customers after taking there money if they dont get value not making them feel that they cheat.
dubai is very safe Police here is very effective but they have no fears. some one to guide me please.
the man who gave presentation is Mr. Ghassan+[protected]. he promised during presentation and the call to him that we can pull out our money any time we wish but empty promises.
can any body guide me help me.

I address to all those who are on the same page of who got cheated here in dubai, I can see not less than 6 victims.
After I had out the name and telephone mobile number of mr. serry and the man who gave me the presentation mr. ghassan on the open web mr. serry had called me about 3 weeks back that why did I do that? he said he will file a case on me. so far he never even called me second time. no case was filed on me. I have the phone number where that call came from and all call get registered on sender and receivers call history. I can share that number from where he called to threat me. that was the time I could guided him to the nearest police station and then the police will find out the truth that he/his company robbed my money or I robbed his money.
It is not only illegal to pass threats but prohibited by law in dubai (that's what I know)
I pleaded to mr. serry that I have lost my source of income I am badly broken and has a family to take care of help me I can not pay more than I have paid already. he never helped me.
Ii visited him and saw many such cases singing the same song. help. help. help.
Lie of a type mr. serry said he will help me selling my week to buyers on web or to local vacation buyers. never he did anything any help.
Another lie mr. serry said he will help me sell the plan to second buyer and help me refunding my invested money. never he made any efforts. nothing that he can prove.
Another lie mr. serry told me that write me your complain that you can not pay in full and wanted to withdraw from plan. I wrote him two emails. both are still in my sent emails box. following day I called him asking did he see what I sent? he replied yes I saw I read. I believed him and stayed quite hoping that now he will forward to up line looking for refund. do you know what I saw a email notification of deleting the email with out being read nearly after 3 weeks or so. that proves what I want to say. he did not know that I had put a command which will tell me back whether mail is delivered or read.
Still no one can save my money from there grip. pls help. local authorities please help.
I do not mean to tarnish any body image or reputation. simply return our money and we go our way. I am hurt. I am hurt.

Thanks for the courage you have shown sir h58cc in the above posted your comments, yes it must be reported to sheikh mohammed bin rashid. again I am stating as I did so many times before that some one very high and very big can only solve this case. I strongly disagree with what mr. tomas jackson have posted, if above statement t be believed.
this is big scam and tarnishing the image of this most wonderful city of the middle east.
If this gentleman jackson tomas is true than why did he not wrote his house, office and mobile number? if he writes the mobile number I promise to bring all the sufferers, hurt and the money looser.
I had received a threatening call from the man who do all the most business in front of the house and I told him you have robbed my money not I robbed your companies money. he said he will put a case on me. he also stated why did I put his name and tel mobile number on web. so far a year is gone and he never called me again. I have that number where the call was made from.
Can someone guide me to take my plea to the chief of the police here in dubai brigadier dhahi khalfan on one to one and I would like to state how they trap the innocents ones in all shopping malls here and around. he is super tough and my hopes are so much for all sufferers like me.

I am requesting all of you to write as much open as you can. keep your identity open and reachable let them know that people are reacting and reporting. not afraid of threat calls from them.
Put your number you got cheated not that you cheated them.
Sad, very sad it is happening with so much force and so much open persons are trapped with the same technic and we lost our hard earn money and no relief from these gang of people operating with big pride. using the name of dubai govt. and the big sponsor. can anyone question them? can anyone get get back our money which we paid them? we have receipts.
Can any one reach that sponsor and tell of all that we are facing?
Can we just get our refund from this gang and shut up our mouth.
can we get our hard earn money?
Can they put up a stamp or write it by hand that the money is non-refundable? is it permitted by the law as here in uae.
They robbed our money not that we robbed there money.
Do they have aright to give me a threatening call that they will put up a case on me just because I revealed on the web who gave me the presentation and who said that I can with draw any time, so on faith we took the plan not to became millionaire but as a investment. wish we had known this we will not go this way.
We are all peace loving and just seeking any help who can help?

With my first posting which they saw after a month when a client of them gave a print out( may be another sufferer) i got a call from them where they threaten to me. Contents of this call, the caller name and the number where this call was placed from is already registered on my mobile phone which I will share with Local Police authorities. I need you all to come forward and support the cause. My cause and your cause to get back our hard earned money from these People working in a organised way, practices taking place under the nose of crime detection authorities.

Now they have started telling, I am fake. They tell this to misguide you from knowing the truth. The attached paper was given by vacation international to me, when I signed the contract. It contains their Emirates NBD Bank account number and lot more stuffs. This information wont be given to any other individual other than customers & business partners. What I say is true from bottom of my heart, believing or not believing its upto you. You can sit in line with us, if you want it...

Friends you may see some satisfied, brullient, excellent comments created in this site by their cheats (sales & staff), to be more specific half educated fellows. If you read all their comments, you can feel same broken english in all good comments. Think why? Its their staff (victims/customers those who've spoken with their staff personally, can clearly identify that!)

Already told one of my friends who travel a lot I can book him in London at a very attractive price. And asked help from Department Customer Service Vacations International to complete the reservation they helped me in a very professional manner. thanks to vacation international team.

I am one who already use Vacations International program since six months ago. I received the final contrac withen 60 days and also received my membership card. Before that the company booked for me one week at a resort in Malaysia, but they asked me to wait for 21 days to receive the reservation according to the contract condition and actually i got the reservation before 21 days . I am so Surprised because each product has a specification and how you can use it in the right way but if there is some people they use it in the wrong way does not mean that the product is not good or the dealer is selling lousy product and is not valid in my opinion that's a very fair systemay

Vacation Internationale wronged me

On September 26, 2009 I attended the San Gennaro Feast in Las Vegas. As I walked through the entrance I was approached and enticed to come to a seminar for vacation properties. I was told that this was not a timeshare opportunity and that if I attended then I would be awarded “gifts” for my time. I was given the option of several of these “gifts”. $500 gas cards, a San Diego Vacation, trip for 2 to Florida were my options. I eagerly took the $500 gas card option, to which that also made me qualify for another “gift” which I was not expecting. I went to the seminar on October 3rd and indeed it turned out to be a timeshare brief. I patiently listened to the 90 minute presentation and after being hit on by the representative there and rudely being discarded because 1. I did not qualify based on my age (which they knew from the beginning) and 2. I was not able to make the down payment as I am a single parent with only one income. But at the end I was assured that in 7 days I would get my packet with my “gifts”. I received a packet on October 15th that stated that I needed to send a $4.95 processing fee and the packet to PTS travel which I did on October 28th. I received the brochures for the vacations in November with no mention of the gas card. I waited about 2 weeks to see if the mail was slow and if the gas card would come separate and it did not. In early December I called and talked with someone at PTS travel who said that the gas card promotion had been cancelled. At this point I was extremely upset; all I had wanted from the beginning was the gas card not the vacations. I called back about a week later to find out just when this promotion no longer existed and they told me that it had been cancelled in October. So as you can see I am a little irritated that no one ever contacted me to tell me before I went to the seminar to tell me that the “gift” I had really wanted no longer existed. If I had known this I wouldn’t have gone and wasted not only my time but VI’s time either. I am requesting reimbursement for thegas card and the 4.95 processing fee for an item that I never received. I have attached a copy of the PTS brochure that I received from VI and my gas receipts totaling $525.71 (I know that only $500 is reimbursable). I hope that you will in good faith take good care of someone who has actually referred many customers to the VI property as I thought it was a good investment, just not for a single parent such as myself. I am sending this memo to PTS and VI – I don’t care which one cuts me a check as long as it gets done. Thank you for your time. I am allowing 30 days from the date of notification for a response.

Vacation Internationale - fraud

Out of all the bad choices I have made in my life, going to this seminar full of bad liars, greasy salesmen and greedy scammers, this one was the worse. Think of a stereo typical cars salesman who is obviously discontent with his poor life and yet trying to sell you on how great his life is! If he has to hold his pants together with a safety pin and grease...

Vacation Internationale travel club scam

This company is related to Dreamworks Vacation Club and Serenity Travel. They have been kicked out of New Jersey and there is an investigation going on in Delaware with the Attorney General's office. That phone # is [protected]. There is a class action suit being handled out of New Jersey by Gary Martin Meyers whose phone number is [protected].

These people have now moved to California. They offer heavily discounted travel. It is join tonight or lose out on the quoted price. They open an RCI Mastercard through Bank of America to pay your fee.

Later when we were able to check out their website, the hotels, airlines and cruises are the same as when you go direct or go through another travel agency.

We talked with RCI and their is no ownership connection. DVI is a travel agency that rents unused timeshares from them.

Don't get scammed by these people. None of them live in Valencia and nobody uses last names. When you ask for a business card it is generic without any individuals name on it.

Assita Kienou and World Wide Travel are scammers. They are working together with Sun Travel Agency in New Jersey: 287 Route 94 Ste 306, Vernon. World Wide Travel gives out fake free cruises. And Sun Travel collects money and then, do not provide anything.

For those who want to know, they have three offices in Valencia, Long Beach, Bakersfield, and are in the process of opening one in San Diego. The owners name is Eric Shuman, and the general Manager who runs everything is Kenneth Larry Mcquarrie. He goes by his middle name Larry in California. They are the same owners of Del -Ray Travel. Larry Mcquarrie is the most unethical lying person I have come across. Before joining this company he was running Oasis Travel Clubs all you need to do is type that name in any search engine and you will see he is not new in lying and taking peoples money fraudulently. Now they have changed there name again to Travel Center. because of all the complaints. My ex-fiance who I have a 3year old boy with works for them. Larry Mcquarrie, Went after her knowing she in a relationship and knowing she has a 2year old. By accident I found out and just before she left me and her son I called Larry Mcquarrie. Every single word which he told me was lie. He interfered in my relationship and as the result my Fiance started living with him and left me and her 2.5 year son which I am raising him now by myself. He provided her with a car, financial support and anything else she needed. He would not let her come and see her son in the 1st moth she was gone.My son was devastated not knowing what happened to her mother. Now she does visit him in the weekends and I have him 5 days a week. Just before she left one day she told me it costs clients more to redeem the vouchers that they receive as free gifts than if they would buy it from any where else.She also told me all the company does is search on the Internet to find the lowest priced being offered by other travel company's so they can offer it to the clients. They do that with some kind of soft ware which I guess any one can buy. I was shocked and was wondering if that is true why would they give that information to her. Of course later when I found out she is having an affair with Larry it made it clear how she knew about this. As far as I am concerned they did not care if they ripped up my family apart and I can promise you they will have no problem ripping of their clients. They charge up to $8000.00 for the membership program and you have to pay a yearly fee for something that if you spend a little time yourself you can find a better deal much better deal.

If you recieved a free voucher for a free plane tickets to anywhere in the us from these people, you will likely never see it honered . They make a number of hoops you must go thru, I tried 2 times in the yr it is good for, denied both times and by the 3rd request the 1yr was up. A big scam, its a wonder they are still in business.. Don't go to seminar that offers free plane tickets...its a joke - if your looking for the tickets.

Out of curiosity, I called DelRey Travel and talked to a woman who identified herself as Assita. Assita Kienou, according to her business card that I had received from somebody else, is the Customer Service Manger at DelRey Travel.

Summarizing the conversation, I asked her what the legal name of the company is that operates DelRey Travel. She said that it's "DelRey Travel." I pointed out to her that there's no such corporation or LLC having that name registered to do business in California, and walked her through verifying that fact for herself on the California Secretary of State’s website. She said that, unless I'm a member or listed on file with them as family of a DelRey Travel member, then it is their company policy not to disclose the company's true legal name or the identities of its owners, or even to disclose the company's license number.

She did say that if I came in to listen to the company’s 90-minute sales pitch, then I could ask questions at that time. She did not guarantee that I would receive truthful answers to my questions . . . but after sitting through their sales pitch, I could ask.

What a joke.

The California Attorney General’s website (http://ag.ca.gov/travel/ ) states: “California requires all sellers of travel to register with the Attorney General's Office and to display the registration number on all advertising. . . When you're at a travel agency, ask to see the seller of travel's registration acknowledgment – a one-page document issued by the Attorney General's Seller of Travel Registration Unit.”

That website has a search feature that allows you to look up the license of a seller of travel to see their registration, at http://selleroftravel.doj.ca.gov/sotinput.asp. You know what? There’s no registration listed for “DelRey Travel” or “Del Rey Travel, ” or anybody at DelRey’s listed address of 25124 Springfield Court, Suite 170, Valencia, CA, or at DelRey’s phone number of [protected].

In my opinion Del Rey sounds like a complete sleazeball operation (at best), and possibly an illegal operation for, at the very least, failure to obtain and maintain a valid license with the state of California. Danger, danger! Warning! Run, Will Robinson, Run!

To the poster who calls himself "Fairwarning": How come the people who run DelRey Travel do business under a fictitious name, refuse to disclose their real company name or the company owners, refuse to disclose their California license number, and appear to have failed to obtain and/or maintain a valid license with the state of California?

We're waiting, big shot . . . or should I say, big mouth?

The threatening post by Fairwarning is funny (threatening a lawsuit for libel against posters here).
DelRey Travel (or Del Rey Travel) is NOT registered to do business with the state of California under that name. Nor is "Del Rey Travel" or "DelRey Travel" the subject of any U.S. federal trademark application or registration. Check what I'm saying for yourself at http://kepler.sos.ca.gov and www.uspto.gov. Also, the domain name www.delrey-travel.com (the domain name that they put on their business cards) was registered ANONYMOUSLY on January 18, 2010 - see for yourself at www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/delrey-travel.com. My computer is telling me that there's not even a website at www.delrey-travel.com. The name DelRey Travel is registered as a fictitious business name in L.A. County (see http://www.lavote.net/Clerk/FBN_Search.cfm) but you have to send $5 into the county to get the registration information back by mail.
If DelRey Travel is 100% legitimate, you have to ask why would they take such great pains to hide who they really are. In my opinion, when people try as hard as DelRey Travel does to hide their real company name and owners, that's a huge red flag that smells like scam. Stay away from DelRey Travel, would be my recommendation.
Fairwarning, you want to sue me? Come get me, bring it on. I'm a lawyer. And go ahead, post the real name of the company(ies) that operate DelRey Travel, and the real names of the owners of that company, if they're perfectly above-board. But before you sue me, do check the Anti-SLAPP statute, California Code of Civil Procedure 425.16, so that you know what you'll be facing. Cheers, my friend.

The person who took his time to write that long boring testimonial is h0onoestly hilarious. None of these people say their names. None of these people bought memberships. They are all calling Del Rey Travel a scam because there are some restrictions on the travel gift they received for free. It is so sad. Americans are so discontent and UN appreciative. There are many companies exactly like this in other parts of the world including Sweden which have the same exact policies and procedures and contracts, except one thing is different. The people that go to the presentations are given a gift and they don't piss and moan about something that was given to them for free. Come on people. Don't flatter yourselves. Your time is not worth that much! Your not that important as to where your 60 minutes lost is sooooo horrible because they didn't give you a free car for your hour of time. The difference is that people in other countries appreciate life, and they don't take [censor] for granted like you lazy whiners. It got you out of the house at least! You should be paying them for getting your loser whining [censor] out of the house for a change! I should call the AG on you because you are just such a whiner. Poor baby had 60 minutes of his time wasted and then they gave him 2 free airline tickets that god for bid has some [censor]ing restrictions! honestly people. You should be pissed at yourselves. You are American, You live in America and you actually thought that other Americans would just give you $1, 000.00 worth of airfare for 60 minutes of your time? With no restrictions or strings attached? You did not know better? And you're mad at them? Its your own ignorance to blame. Anyways just open your eyes people. Think about [censor] for a second. Don't be stupid and go sit through a 60 minute presentation and then call them a scam after when you down right knew you were getting a free gift with no strings attached . Just don't go in the first place. Because believe it or not, Del Rey Travel has about $2, 000.00 members that have bought memberships and stuck with them in the past 8 months alone, so they are doing something worth while or for 1. they wouldn't have that many members spend thousands of dollars in 8 months and 2. they would have had lawsuites by now ( Which they have never had one ) so please. go whine to someone else or actually do something and try to sue them. Sorry i just hate people that whine and dont ever actually do what they say they are going to do.

We received a card in the mail from Del Rey Travel located in Valencia, California. The card clearly states you will "receive a complimentary 7 night cruise and air package for 2 leaving from most major airports in the United States, including Los Angeles. Your room, meals, snacks, activities are all included while on board."

Part of the requirements to receive this "complimentary" cruise and free air fare is to listen to a 90 minute presentation for a travel club with Del Rey Travel.

We listened to the travel club presentation and also were given two certificates. One certificate was supposed to be for the free 7 night cruise. The second was for the free air fare for two anywhere in the continental United States.

These certificates have small print and the so called free cruise and so called free air fare is not free at all. The cruise, for example states you need to pay a processing fee of $19.95 plus $50.00 per person for handling, and a fee of $$55.00 per person per day for the cruise based on double occupancy on the cruise. The air certificate for the free airline travel has fees also in it disclosing monies to be paid for these so called free tickets.

When we asked in person at Del Rey Travel, as well as on the telephone for their State of California AG's license number as a "travel agency" which they clam to be, and also asked for any State of California Department of Consumer Affairs licensing information as well, they refused to give it out. Plus they do not have it posted in public view - including any city licensing as is required for businesses to post in a visible place for clients or guests to view. Again, they refused to give out any information to their official state issued licensing, if any in their possession.

It is our humble opinion that this company, Del Rey Travel is not dependable, reliable, and after our investigation by reading postings on BBB and other sources and contacting the BBB, who basically said they have a "F" grade and will not recommend and basically stay away form them and be very cautious of them, we have to agree.

We have been lied to on their so called "free gifts" and they are worthless on the paper these gifts are printed on. We plan to follow up with the State of California AG's office, professional travel agency licensing departments and consumer affairs offices - and also local and national news networks so these news organizations can be aware of this company and let consumers know of the problems and what we feel is a scam.

The last comment makes perfect sense. Your friends joined & cancelled not because what they read here ... it was because they probably had a similar experience to the majority of us that were almost scammed. You should be frustrated ... frustrated that you were ultimately tricked into giving someone your money to do exactly what anyone else, including yourself, can do via the internet which is find a cheap deal. I compared the prices I was given via Del Rey with what I could find online (i.e. Expedia, AAA, etc.) for quite a few trips ... for all the trips I requested a quote on as a Del Rey member, I found a cheaper price searching online as oppose to what Del Rey could provide me with. Why would I pay someone a large amount of money including annual "fees" to maintain the membership, etc. just so they can overcharge me for a trip/deal I can find online?

Vacation Internationale misrepresentation/fraud

On April 04, 2008, My husband and I attend a membership seminar, paid our membership of $3998.00 in full by credit card. To date we have not been able to schedule any travel either online or been able to reach anyone with the company. Now I have learned that they have filed a chapter 11 bankruptcy.

What recourse do we have for refunding the money we have paid?

Vacation Internationale misleading promises and poor service

Received a post card thinking it was from Delta Airlines. Went to seminar, and bought a travel membership Sept. 14, 2007. Tried to use service Sept. 27, 2007. Didn't get any communication until Oct. 3, 2007.

Since we had trouble right off the bat, we asked for our money back. But, we had been told at signup not to try to use membership until seven days had passed, it took that long to set up the membership.

We again tried to use the services, and again broken promises. Finally I was told by the supervisor she didn't have time for me anymore. This was after I had spent $3, 596.00 with them.

Giving the benfit of the doubt, tried to use seervice again in October. Again, broken promises. And long time before responding.

Tried to use seervice again in December. I started communication Dec. 17, 2007. Finally got response Jan. 7, 2008, only after threats to South Carolina Government agencies. All of this is documented in e-mails. Every bit of this is backed by e-mails.

At this point, we just want our money back. There is no way we would attempt to schedule a vacation using VIP. They respond when they feel like it, and then its broken promises.

I repeat, I am not a competitor. I am just an innocent victim lost my money 19000+ from these cheaters.

They dont need a competitor to spoil their name, its already published in gulf news that they are cheating people. Refer Gulf news link
