[Resolved]  Indiatimes / MakeMyTrip / Shiftthoughts — CHEATED

Address: Ajmer, Rajasthan

I was offered a LIFETIME card by EMPLOYEEs of Indiatimes, as told by the persons on the telephone. This offered LIFETIME discounts at certain places, as well as some vouchers for discounted travel by Make My Trip, in assosciation with shiftthoughts.com .
On enquiring about the cancellation procedure, without using any of the benefits, I was not clarified as to how I can do it. But with IndiaTimes and Make My Trip being involved, I thought there would be no SCAM. But I was wrong.

On receiving the Kit I find that they have included only a 1 year validity Dining Plus card.

On complaining at their phone no. I was attended to by a lady named NEHA. she said she would get back to me within 1 hour, and resolve my problem. This has not happened in the past 4 days also.

Now I want to terminate this card/deal/vouchers and receive a full refund immediately.

I know these companies like Indiatimes.com or MakeMyTrip.com or associated companies, which are all part of this BIG SCAM going around, will probably not even listen to me. But I hope to just BEWARE the others to not fall for SCAMS by these or other companies or sites.

Hope my problem is resolved.

NO RESOLUTION TO MY COMPLAINT TILL DATE.
I have not been refunded or even been contacted by these scamsters (Shiftthought/Makemytrip.com/Indiatimes.com) even after I have given all the details here and in other forums.

In fact I have also written to their Management level persons (Mr. Sanjay Sahay at Indiatimes) many tmes to no avail.

This Email id was given to me by Mr. Durgesh of Ahmedabad, another victim of this phone scam.

He was lucky enough to be refunded the amount after his persistent follow up with these persons and sites.

He has contacted me after reading, about my woes, on these forums.

Also 2 other persons similarly affected (from Delhi and Chennai I think) have contacted me on how to go about recovering their money from these scamsters who make false promises, and then disappear.

I have given them whatever assistance I could, except that it is not a lot, as even I am still trying to recover my money.

I have a feeling that these complaint forums like yours or others really have no effect on these scamsters, who operate with impunity.

HOW I WILL BE ABLE TO RECOVER MY MONEY stolen by this scam, is still a mystery to me.

Another thing I would like to point out is that my telephone nos. are on the NDNC (National Do Not Call) registry for years. How do I activate the provisions of this (if any) so action can be taken against my service provider VODAFONE also so that such calls are not permitted, or they also take action against such scamsters?

If no action is taken by the Govt. or others with the powers, these scams by large sell known companies will continue against hapless consumers.
Mr. Durgesh of Ahmedabad, faced the same problems. His money has been refunded, but in my case no action is being taken. I think they have taken it for granted that once they have recieved the money, they are not liable for anything. This is the thinking of scamsters and not of any real service providers.

THEY HAVE CHEATED ME, AND ARE STILL CHEATING OTHERS. GOD HELP THOSE STILL DEALING WITH THEM.

INDIATIMES>COM MAKEMYTRIP AND SHIFTTHOUGHTS ARE CHEATERS AND SCAMSTERS.
