I have received call yesterday, saying that calling from Consumer Forrum and want to give your money refunded as we seized vacations gateway bank account and we returning your money back. Only we need your account with SBI or ICICI bank atm. We will immdiately transfer your money. But I dont have account with the mentioned bank. Hense they told me to give your relative or friend account will also do. But I dont know is this correct about the refund of money of Vacations Gateway. Actually I need money because of my both kedneys failed. So I have to do dialysis twice in a week. The person name from consumer forum is Mr.Vikas Sharma. I am requesting you refund my money.

As per your sales team after buying the vacation gateway voucher they will give free gift sony experia Z2 but still I am not received when I contact to the mobile number I will get the answer it is already couriered and you will get another 7 working days like that but still I am not received. Now their mobiles and land line switch off condition. Name:Anil Sagar Mobile number : [protected] Land line number : [protected]
Mr. Wagle, you have been defrauded by Vacations Gateway ! It is a total fraud firm . I have also been duped by them last year and now they are not even picking my calls made to their customer care Numbers for confirmation of my booking request to atleat recover the basic facility.
They will not even provide the basic vacation booking, let alone the promised gift of tablet, laptop or whatever.

I have made a police complaint against them and suggest you to do like wise so that others do not fall the victms as we did.

Write a mail to Vacations Gateway on their official mail id ([protected]@vacationsgateway.com.co) and ask them for refund.
They have mentioned about their refund policy in point 17. at below link on their website.
http://www.vacationsgateway.co/Website/termandcondition.aspx

Also do daily follow up of this refund request on their official phone numbers only listed on their website (+[protected],
+[protected]. Don't discuss on any other phone numbers. All other numbers including (sell person's personal numbers) are fraud, just used to cheat customers. They say that all other numbers are recording line, but total fraud. If possible do record all the conversation happened with them. This will be useful for legal actions in case they denied to refund or in case of delay of refund.

Looks like company tries to make money by deducting 8.5%, 15% or 20% from the total amount of pkg after refund also..
Some customer don't ask for refund after getting cheated and leave it since amount is not very high, so company earns total pkg amount.
Company makes customer to avail low class hotels, in this way also it makes money.

Be cautious for future. Just don, t take so much tension because of some bad people in the world. God knows everything and nobody can cheat god.

Take care.
