Cambay Goa - enjoyable vacation

" Its a big misperception for Cambay Goa resort. We had visited there in holidays and found the services and resort excellent. The food was pretty good giving a taste of all dishes of India. "

Hi I am Sanjog, recently we had a visit to Goa cambay. Yes i do agree that the staffs are not professinal and hospitality is also not so great compared to Jaipur kukas.

This is a leased property of cambay and not so bad experience.
I still recommend to have a visit to goa, if you are okay with medium response...

i had been the employee of company for around 8-9 months as an holiday consultant at surat branch but i resigned becoz they are nt giving incentives but nw after resigning as per the company rules & regulations before 7 days, they are not paying even my salary of december-january so plz revert me back what to do as i am facing money crisis...

this is the routine problem of this group

This is the basic and routine problem of this group. this company is full with cheeters people. the owner and chaiman is the leader of this cheeter group - MAIN CHEETER THE BOSS, who appoint him as a metro cheif, even i have doubt about him - EX IAS

Do you believe this cheeter group and that cheeter chairman shall help you and paid the outstandings..., you should goahead and send them a notice by lawyer. wake up brother and do the same. we all are with you.

@rajkatechia1286 brother do u have any bad experience of this company

This co. i.e. cambay holidays is a real fraud. I am also faceing same difficulties as other people on this site.i will soon lodge a complaint against them in consumer court.

we had paid sum of Rs.15768 (Application Sl No:002669 ) towards one year trial membership on 24/07/09 in which we were also promised membership of Stellar Gymkhana, Greater Noida.We were dealt with Ms Dibya Rana ( Sales Manager) and Bhawna at Cambay Noida office in Sab Mall who sold us this membership.

Since Cambay has no such tie up with Stellar Gymkhana, we feel cheated and duped. We therefore want Cambay to refund the above amount paid by us. In this regard we visited Sab mall Noida on 15/11/09 and handed over the refund / cancellation request to Mr.Inder Arora, venue incharge.

Despite more than a month since then we are yet to hear from Cambay. We have not availed any holidays from Cambay and will not be availing the same in the future.

I am filing a police case against the company, so any one who has been duped by the company can send in their details on [protected]@gmail.com within this week

Cambay Holidays — Cambay Holidays - a good choice for business meeting

“ It was an amazing experience with Cambay. They provided us with the best facilities that one desires while on holidays. The rooms are such that they provide us homely environment. ”

Cambay Holidays — did not receive anything after taking money

Sir,
I joined with cambay holidays in end of month may. i paid total payment for membership but they did not reply or send me nothing for membership. In end of week July when i inquired then they send me few papers not a membership card or any other confirmation letter they send it only one magazine, which one is always on their desk. Once again I called after 2 days, them then they reply very rough way, one of the lady said that you will get documents within 3 days. Now i don't want this typ[e of membership and i need my money back because after 2 months they don't want to give me service then how can i get service upto 25 years. So I need my money back.

yes i agree

we are also facing same problem.it seems they only known how to collect money & are not interested in services.it seems they are having some problems in their system or they all are fraud.pl let me known about the latest status & how you treated this type of crooks.
thanks

There are lots of complaints over Cambay and especially the NOIDA office, and Varun Kalra.
I am posting the complaints that appear on another webpage. I have myself written a grievance on that page. We should all get together and get united. We need to lodge an FIR against Cambay Holidays. Whatever they are doing is the height of fraud. They should be booked under 420.
Please call up the numbers given below and get in touch with the affected people. It is better to talk over phone rather than let fake people from Cambay join a group among us on internet.


Cambay Holidays is a fraud company

I, Ashish Dhawan was invited by the telecalling agents of Cambay holidays to collect a free holiday gift voucher. I had visited their noida office with my family on 4th july. There instead of giving me the free voucher they started to advertise about the comapny's various offers. Even after I insisted that I am not interested in any kind of membership they kept on offering me with lucrative offers. Finally I and my wife agreed to their offer of one year membership which they said would cost us Rs. 12878/- out of which we will receive a cash back of Rs. 8000/- within 30 days. The membership included a seven days holiday anywhere in India for four adults and two kids. it also included access to the cambay clubs throughout the year.

I was shocked after receiving the documents of the membership by post. It said that the membership is for 10 years and I will have to pay Rs. 101000/- and only after paying this amount I would receive a cash back of Rs. 8000/-. The document read that the membership is only for two adults and kids instead of four adults that was promised. It didnot mention anything about the cambay clubs membership.

After receiving the documents I called them up and also gave a complaint on mail, but they didnot reply back. After calling them after a week of written complaint they denied to give the cash back with very harsh words and also embarassed me on taking their membership. They also are not ready to cancel the membership and pay back the entire amount.

I am extremely depressed by their response and would seek consumer courts help to get my hard earned money back.

varun kalra of cambay also cheated me as well

This guy Varun Kalra also cheated me. He said we will get a cash back of 8000, but after chasing them for 2 months i wrote to the company and the company told me that we will only get a cash back if we will give them some active references. Which was shocking. varun Kalra took my signature by fraud on a 12878 rs receipt, and after 2 months i got a 2500 rs eni charge on my credit card.

i went back to their manager DEV SHARMA, but he told me that varun was caught in a fraud and they fired him, and i should wait for my money. But the next day it seemed that this guy Dev Sharma was even a bigger cheat, and Varun kalra is still in the company. they are all frauds, and the whole management supports them. they just make you many delightful promises, and get your signatures on some initial papers, and you are trapped.

We will all have to gather and do something about these guys as these kind of people are like cancer in our society and they should be stopped urgently.

Varun Kalra needs to be arrested for fraud

Varun Kalra from the NOIDA office of Cambay Holidays in Sab Mall, is the biggest con-man/bluffmaster/fraudster that I have seen till now. I agree fully with Mr. Nadeem Khan above where he says Varun Kalra is the biggest cheater and needs to be behind bars. I have talked to Mr. Nadeem Khan over phone as well.
He is committing crime daily
1. He asks for ID card first. When you say you don't have it, he says can I have credit card. You show it to him. He snatches it, and leaves immediately. He comes back with two charge slip. One is normal charge slip of 12, 878 and the other has the card number embossed on it. You ask him why did you swipe the card without my permission and behind my back and he says - "Sir paise lene mein hum der nahin karte hahahahaha". You ask him what is this other slip where you have embossed by card and he says - "Sir it is same as your Rs. 12, 878 payment". Actually this thing is for the EMI of Rs. 1, 00, 000 payment for the 10 year membership that will start automatically on you credit card.
2. He makes a lot of false promises that amount to cheating (420). First that we will get a refund of Rs. 8, 000 along with a stay for 6 nights at any 5 star hotel without any charge or taxes. He mentions a lot of destinations in a way that seem like someone saying names of dishes at a dhaba. The offer seems very lucrative. Only after he has swiped your card will he tell you about the real thing and that too only if you ask him in detail about each thing. You will get the discount of Rs.8000 after 45 days. He makes a false claim that you do not need to pay Rs. 1, 00, 000 before the company gives you the discount. He says he is giving references in your name. He says the EMI will not start automatically and the company will call you before they start the EMI.

All of this is untrue. You will get the Rs. 8000 discount only if pay them the 1, 00, 000 along with two new references who should also become a member.The EMI for Rs. 1, 00, 000 will also start automatically.
Remember the slip where the card was embossed and the hurry in which Varun Kalra got your signatures here and there and everywhere.
All this is horrific. They are getting members really fast. Besides me I saw two new members within an hour when I went there. They are cheating people. And it is coming out in the open.
In the end Varun Kalra will simply say to you Sir, please cancel your card and file a dispute with the credit card. May be you will get back your first EMI of Rs. 2600. Sir, Forget the Rs. 12, 878. You cannot get it back.
If you get agitated he will insult you and throw you out saying - "Jo karna hai kar le"
This guy needs to be taught a lesson.
I am sure he cannot do all this independently without the complicity of his managers. The NOIDA manager once said to a person that Varun has been fired because he was accused in fraud, while Varun was actually working in the office. This implies the manager (Deep) is also involved deeply.
I think the company knows about this person and has received complaints. They are working to sort out the matter. I could see that regional managers are scrutinizing the NOIDA office.
But this company needs to do a lot of damage control if it wants to keep a good name in the market.
People like Varun Kalra will take down the reputation of company if the company is trying to build one.
We must all get united and find out people who have been cheated by Varun Kalra. These guys should not go scott free and continue to cheat people.
Even if we have lost our money let us stop these guys from cheating any more innocent people and robbing them of their hard earned money.

Cambay Holidays is taking notice of this page as well. They called up people who have complained on this forum.
They are also trying to put in fake people on this page. One of them going by the name of Simran Sharma, writes "Cambay is the best holiday planner" This is in response to Ashish Dhawan's original complaint. Simran Sharma, which branch of Cambay Holidays do you work in? NOIDA or Gandhinagar? Could you please post your contact information, email or phone?

Varun Kalra's parents should be ashamed that they brought up such a char sau bees. Varun's parents did not care to give him values. On the contrary they would be quite happy that there son was cheating so many people and brought back the money.
God knows how a civil society can survive with such people like Varun Kalra. He is a criminal and a menace to the society and should be made to be in community service for at least 5 years in some a remote village, so that he learns some values that his parents did not care to provide him.

Varun Kalra has committed many crimes

He completely misguides and brainwashes people by telling them that they are not actually taking up a complete membership. He tells that you pay Rs. 12, 878 and then try out the services by taking a stay for 6 days in any place among the so many places he mentions. If you do not wish to continue further it is completely fine. He says Cambay people would contact you to make you a "full" member. What you are taking is just a trial.
The innocent customer sees reason in his arguments. That is because he is not making any payment any more that 12, 878. He could stay in the 5 star hotel and then not make any further payment. Varun Kalra lies that the customer will get back Rs. 8000 as well. This makes it a very lucrative offer. 6 days in a five star hotel, anywhere, only in Rs. 4, 878 net!
The customer asks for each confirmation, insists that things are in writing and the Cambay staff led by Varun Kalra gives each assurance. They completely convince the customer of their lies.
Meanwhile the customer is still thinking "I haven't made any payment. Let this proceed. I will check the things before I make the payment."
But suddenly they will all together fool the customer. They have all been trained to enact this drama. Varun Kalra asks for credit card just for ID, or for any other excuse, like verification. He snatches the card, and the other person starts talking to you. Varun Kalra comes back after swiping the card for 12, 878 and also for the EMI.
Besides the initial misguiding by lies, this one is the second crime that he has done.
He has not taken permission for swiping the card from you, he did not tell you he is swiping your card and he swipes it behind your back.
The customer is just too shocked to react. Some customers fight back and yell, how dare you swipe the card. Refund it immediately. Some customers get even more confused and more under pressure. Varun Kalra has already taken your money. Money is gone from your side, what choice do you have?
Varun Kalra simply says this cannot be refunded, money has already gone. If you still insist, the best that can happen is that you can now cancel this and the company will send you the refund. To a customer called Santosh, this exactly happened. Varun got him into his web. You ask for cancellation form and Varun gives you the membership form. You shout at him, and he says that this is how the things work. You are getting deeper and deeper into his con.
Even if you do not react immediately as in most cases you are still thinking that there is no use fighting. You cannot get back money like that. Only way open is through putting your point across in a nice manner. You are still hoping that this person is working in a corporate, the office is in Sab mall, the person would be having some scruples atleast. And Varun Kalra is giving you all the fake assurances, all the fake promises o[censored]nending service and affection.
Varun takes your sign here and there again lying about everything. He misleads you completely. He says he is taking you in the right direction when it is actually the worst that he would be doing to you.
You will ask him about the slip on which your credit card is embossed. This seems to be a very outdated system. He is already taking your signatures on an electronic charge slip. He will lie to you it is the same as Rs. 12, 878 and that he has to do the other thing as well for the official process.
You do not realize that you are authorizing for the EMI to start for the payment of Rs. 1, 00, 000. You are actually becoming a full member, and all what Varun Kalra has said till now is crap. Even if you read the slip of credit card embossed, you will not see the Rs. 1, 00, 000 being mentioned.
Varun Kalra does forgery on all these documents later to start the EMI. You have now paid Rs. 1, 00, 000 (through EMI in future) and Rs. 12, 878 (already paid) and you do not even know.
They will take your sign everywhere and you have no choice because you have already paid. Either you are under too much pressure or you are also under too much feel good, brainwashed into you by all these people with their false promises.
Most people will not realize until it is too late. The exit plan has been hidden from you. It is only until first 10 days that you can cancel your membership.
They will not give you any documents at the Sab Mall office to carry back. You will not know anything.
The 10 days will be over and you have no way out. You keep calling everybody at Cambay and they will not cooperate at all. You will keep hitting ad your head against a wall.

Yesterday on 26 September 2009, a group of people who had been cheated by Cambay Holidays, NOIDA got together and complained to the police about Varun Kalra and Deep Sharma.

We as a group, went to the Police station near Great India Place. The Inspector listened to our grievances and immediately called up Varun Kalra. He said come here in 5 minutes or I am coming down to your office.

Varun Kalra, Deep Sharma and Shibu George immediately came over to the police station.
They tried to dodge the situation. They thought that there cheating game plan/fraud /forgery is very well planned and that they can get away with it.
Varun was trembling when the inspector told him the facts plainly.
We came to know there are 250 cases pending about this fraud.

Remember how Varun Kalra the cheat will get the card out of customer and swipe it without taking permission. He will ask the customer for the card on the pretext of ID, or for verification or to just check the card if it will work, or he will say show me the card, let me see if there is some offer on it etc. or any other reasoning.
Then he will swipe the card immediately.
He is a thief, a thug and a criminal.

Let us grow our group. If we go alone these guys have already planned they will say to you, that you have signed yourself, you have given payment.
But when we go as a group and complain to Police/Consumer court or Criminal/Other court then it is clear that Cambay holidays is robbing us. How is everybody making the same mistake?
Consumers are not making mistake. It is Varun Kalra and his group of conmen, his managers who are doing fraud and forgery.

Do you know these guys are expert in forgery. They start the EMI without your approval.

In some cases where people have actually given written letters of cancellation, they have forged those documents as well. Suppose the person has put a date of 5, these guys will make it 25.

Luck has now run out for them. The law will get to the collar of these guys.

We should try to bring these people to book, by doing whatever we can.
There are many many options still open for us.
Just keep fightning against these cheats.
They will try whatever they have in their book. They will try again those psychological tactics. Like they will make you insecure that we will not give your money especially. They will think that this way you can be broken in willpower. They might try to frustrate you, or they might keep giving you a tough time by sweet talks and more false promises.

But this time keep everything in writing. Write down you discussion and get their acknowledgement.
Insist on written documents.

Let us start a few complaints in the consumer court, media, police.

We need to launch a drive against these people sitting in Sab Mall and duping the innocent people, swiping their credit cards without their permission, forging documents, making false promises and brainwashing people.

Important thing is to make a large group, because there are many who are in the same boat as us. We need to get in touch and then approach the law enforcing agencies.
If we fight alone we are hitting our head against a wall.
But by fighting together we show to the world the scam that these guys are doing.

Varun Kalra is the next Harshad Mehta.

Hi,
I also have been going through this mantel harassment, i was also been given a similar offer as to Mr Ashish Dhwan, after two months when i contacted cambay noida office I realized that there is something very wrong happening over there,
I wrote a complain to the cambays's customer care ([protected]@cambayholidays.com), but there was no replay,
apart from dishonoring the promised cash back of Rs 9000 they are also not willing to go for booking that i requested,
if you guys are planing for some leagl action or other wise please let me know

Dear Mr. Ajay Singh Chauhan,
Please also post your complaint on the following web page.
http://www.consumercourt.in/travel-agent/6086-cambay-holidays-fraud-company.html

Hello Friends,
Today I've got the similar call that I have won a lucky prize of 3D 2N stay with my faamily worth Rs 35000 and he invited me to attend a get together at cambay office at Ist floor shop no. 29-30 Sab mall, Atta Market Noida.
Some Mr. Naresh called me from Landline No.[protected]. when i asked he sent me his mobile no. [protected].
Is it a fraud? What action I should take ? How to stop/punish these people?

Hello Friends,
I am also amongst one of the victim of Cambay Holidays. I was also been given the similar offer like you people.

a) I was offered by Himanshu and Varun that if I purchase an offer of 7 days holidays by paying 12, 878 rupees through credit card will get back 9878.00 rupees within 30 to 45 days.

b) Unfortunately despite getting this amount I again had been charged 2567.00 rupees on my credit card on 15-Sep-09 without any standing instructions. That card I blocked immediately.
When I approached himanshu regarding my above concerns he asked me a blank cancelled cheque to refund all my amount of 12, 445 rupees by Cambay.

After Himanshu’s resignation when I met Deep I was informed about being cheated by Himanshu. I blocked that cheque immediately.

This Company is totally a fraud company. Government should take actions against it.

Cambay Holidays, Gandhinagar

We had a weekend outing to Cambay Spa & Golf Resort, Gandhinagar. It was a splendid mini vacation. The room was awesome and it was facilitated with all the required amenities. The Gym there is quite big and well-equipped with all the machines. Food Court has a lottt lott varieties of delicious food items. Really we ate utmost all types of food dishes. The surroundings are so lovely that we weren't wanting to come back from there.

Many Thanks to Cambay Resort for making our stay comfortable and make us feel like home.

Cambay Holiday was an unforgettable experience

I had a small vacation with my friends at Cambay Grand, Ahmedabad. We were served with delicious food and the beverages were quite coooollll. This hotel has excellent facilities. The room in which we stayed was superb and services were also up-to-mark. It was a warm welcome which we enjoyed to the fullest.

Thank You Cambay for all that you provided us with. We would surely like to visit again in near future for a longer stay.

Cambay Holidays was a memorable experience.
I disagree with you. I had visited Cambay Grand, Ahmedabad with my family. We all enjoyed there very much. The room had all the necessary plush amenities and the restaurant had all types of food Continental, Mexican, Indian which we enjoyed and gulped a lot. Spa there is having ultimate ambience and the Winter Garden having amoeba shaped pool was the best place for relaxation. Thank you Cambay for such a wonderful vacation.
