Fraud in Goa by Toplite Holidays
Reported By: AbhaKr
Hello Sir,
My husband and I got caught in a scam of Toplite Holidays Private Limited Company on 27th February, 2022 in Goa while we were on vacation. On the way one random person came to us while we were going towards Calangute Beach, he told us about his hotel anniversary that today is his hotel anniversary so he has an offer for couples in which two cards will be given, if we become winners then we will get gifts at their hotels, by opening the cards I become the decided winner. We got caught in his trap and went to his hotel.
Upon reaching there we were told about the condition that they would scratch the card after a taking the hotel tour and a verbal presentation of 1 hour by their representative. We went to the hotel and then their representative (Ms Vandana Mehta and Mr. Jayesh) took us to a room where all the couples were already seated. We were also seated and explained how we can save both our money and time by subscribing to this company’s Membership.
After explaining all the plans their representative asked us to buy a specific plan for my future holidays. When we showed our reluctance to buy the plan due to trust issue, they offered us a trial pack. Their representative told us this plan will be activated only after taking a trial booking in March 2022 and if we wish to continue with this plan then 1st EMI will start from April 2022. I asked him what if I do not want to continue then they told that you can discontinue it by not paying any amount against it.
For that they asked me to pay Re.1/- for checking the eligibility from my bank. But actually the debited Rs. 50000/- as loan. I got a message that Re. 1 deducted from my account as test transaction for Rs. 50, 000/- (but actually it was a debit of Rs. 50, 000 in the name of Re.1 only). After that within 2 minutes the brought us a document (now they call it as agreement). They didn’t even gave us time to read it bafor signing. Upon asking what is written in it they told us nothing but whatever has been explained to you regarding renting and gifting the travel plan, that is only written in this.
The whole picture got clear on March 02, 2022 @ 9:45 pm when I got a message from my HDFC bank regarding Debit card EMI, Loan Account. I feel cheated as no consent has been taken from me or my husband before debiting Rs. 50, 000 instead of Re. 1.
Request you to look into the matter and ask the company for full refund of Rs. 50000/- as this is highly organized fraud to cheat innocent tourists in Goa.
