Club Jiva — Misrepresentation of data and cheating, fraud membership and cheating

Address:	Mumbai City, Maharashtra

I was on vacation in Goa with my wife recently. I was approached by an agent On 05-MAR-2016 from Club Jiva claiming to give away gift scratch cards on celebration of the NEVER ENDING anniversary function that is always open 365 days a year. Upon opening them, my wife got a card which assured her one of the four gifts, an iPad, an LED TV, 10k in cash or a paid vacation. All we had to do was to attend a 1 hour orientation session at La Calypso Hotel, Baga.

We were asked to get the credit card to authenticate our identity and then only we would be given the gift from Matercard/Visa team. Believing that, we went to get the credit/debit cards.

After we reached the La Calypso hotel, we were introduced to an agent who tries to be so nice to rob the amount at a later point of time. After that he tried to sell us the Club Jiva membership which would entitle us to cheap accommodation in 5-Star properties across the world. To my surprise, they had listed all major brand names like Hilton, Sheraton, Starwood, Marriott, Wyndham to name a few.

I was sold a membership for Rs90000 for a tenure of 25 years. I come from lawyer family and I am going to to put these people behind bars for the following.

1) Misrepresentation of anniversary function
2) Misrepresentation of data such as owning 32 resorts and La Calypso Hotel
3) Misrepresentation of promotion from Visa/Mastercard
4) Misrepresentation of tie ups with the major hotels.

After paying up the amount, I could find the receptionist opening up gift card instead of the persons from Mastercard/Visa

I will ensure that FB, Twitter, Online sites, travel aggregator sites are filled up with my comments on Club Jiva Management & Sales team for fraud
