[Resolved]  Karma Royal Resorts — Cheating innocent visitors coming to Goa

By this piece of complaint I want to warn unsuspected travellers who waste their precious holiday time and are being cheated by this so called cheat comapny called Karma Royal Group. <br />
The modus operandi is that travellers moving aroung Goa on Holidays are approached by their agents (whom they themself call kidnapper) giving lure of prize vouchers containg false promises on free stay, ipod, restaurant vounchers, boating trips etc. They convince the unsuspected travellers that they are just promoting their resorts and want to publicise the same by providing free stays etc. and would like to take them to show the resort .<br />
Once the traveller who has come to Goa on holiday by spending money on travel and hotels etc. falls into their trap of free stay and other instant prizes to be given and agrees to come along with them, he is picked by the kidnapper and taken to their resort. <br />
Once you are there, without any consideration their actors just start playing drama introducing different persons and you are made to sit with your entire family for listening their non-stop commentary on resorts, time share plans, how you are wasting your life without joing them and other type of brain washing exercises. After 2-3 hours of non stop commentaries by different digfferent persons they start presurrising you to agree to take their membership which costs 3-4 lakhs.<br />
The real colous appear when you refuse to take that and asks for the prizes promised. Than comes some bouncer type persons in picture who would inform you that you are not entitled for any of the instant prizes and you should just take a voucher, which you obviously would not be able to use and leave.<br />
If you demand your promised prize they imkeditaely start misbehaving.<br />
By the time you learn your mistake you had already lost your one day for which you had paid money to your hotel and you had come so far away from your home to enjoy holidays.<br />
Despite being aware of such cheats I myself became their victim when they assured me that I should just listen to their resort promotion for one hour and I would be provided free stay immediately after that, than and there.<br />
But when I demanded the assured prize I was told restaurent is closed, boat trip timings are over, free stay only with 2 months advance booking and like that. That bugger became so rude and abusive when I started protesting.<br />
So beware of Karma Royal Group and its fraudsters moving around Goa. <br />
You can imagine what kind of service this CHEAT KARMA ROYAL GROUP might be providing to its members.

Same thing happn to me ..they try to target couple with voucher assuring scrach card prize and try to sell there club membership by calling in resort for collecting prize..Thank god i read your post so tht i saved my quality time of holiday..

Attached is scrach card pic for reference.

The Management charges are very highand therefore it's direct loot after spending hefty Charges for their membership.
Hi iv been a member of Karma Group for 3 years now with no complaints. Looking to sell my membership for a reduced rate (im divorced and hence selling). Do call me at [protected] (Niloy) for inquiry.
The same had happened with me as described above on DEC 12 2019, i was on a vacation in Goa with my family..they wasted my 4 hours, and tried everything in the book to convince and brainwash me, all i wanted was time to think, which they didn't give, that is why i said no and i don't understand how govt is allowing these type of scams to happen so openly...GUYS PLS BEWARE DONT FALL IN THIS TRAP AND WASTE YOUR VALUABLE TIME WITH THIS FRAUD OFFER
Thank you very much for your post. I received call from them regarding holiday vouchers.
Guys pl be careful with Karma group ppl especially while ur in GOA. I'm a bad victim of them . Their main target is middle n upper middle class. They show you starts in day. They will hipnotise you to get convinced by their promises and take u membership. I have been to their presentation while I was in Goa. As middle class family I was so impressed by so call 5 * luxury and paid 10% of membership money. After doing my research and review it doesn't seems to be worth spending such huge money. I asked them to refund either by cash or by holiday. They denied for both. Simple logic here, one who doesn't give u ur money how can they give u free services or luxurious service at cheap price. We missed this logic and became bakras. Y they r denying is it is their main business. If they have good business they will not send their beggars on roads and take ur money. Guys please please be careful 🙏🙏🙏. They earn money on poor ppl dreamz. PL do t cheat the innocent ppl who came to njoy their holidays. Guys it's not at all ment for middle n upper middle class ppl. PL help me getting my money. They say it's non refundable as per agreement. What the hell it's my hard earn money. They are denying either to adjust through holiday. Worst experience ever. Guys pl be careful. Spending such huge money for membership with lots of lots of lots of terms and conditions is not at all Worthy 🙏
After deposits been made by me. I eventually told the company i need to make a withdrawal and they told me it would take at least two weeks to get my money back but it was all a lie. The Binary options broker named "IQ OPTION" were pushing me to make more deposit so that i would be able to make more massive gains.
I invested the total sum of $265, 000 and i made double of my initial deposit and i decided to make a withdrawal of my whole funds. The broker started telling me lies and i was forced to play along because i had no option. He even told me that if i was going to get my whole money that i would have to make approximate $20, 000 to access the vat and government withdrawal fee from one country to another. He even said that after the payment would be made i would receive my receipt. It took me a while, but i was able to get the $20, 000 and i did the transfer to him but after that he never answered my calls anymore and i felt so sad because i had no proof given to me. I was so confused and i did not know what to do and i started emailing the "IQ OPTION" and they eventually replied me saying that they had transferred my money to my bank account, I felt happy and i was given a reference number to take to the bank. I went to the bank and told them about the transfer and they said they had nothing like that in their data base. The bank said i should contact the people that sent the money to be sure. A few days later i called the broker and he said to me that the money was transferred that i should go back to the bank and complain because the fault is from them. I even asked for a copy of the wire transfer as a proof to take to the bank and he got so angry and never replied me anymore. I contacted them and got several excuses, then I knew that I have been scammed, I complained to my colleague at work who directed me this recovery experts, Mr. Adams Hoddle that helped him, I contacted him immediately, what surprised me most that i recovered my money that same week. you can contact him via [protected]@gmail.com and I did as he instructed me and it was helped. Good luck as you contact him for help.
Friends...Really happened with me in Goa on 8th Jul 22 that one of the executive named Abhay Awasthi came to us while we were in Miramar Beach and gave us a gift voucher. Then, he opened that voucher and started congratulating us and shaken hands saying that we are the first lucky customer since morning who won these prizes. Prizes may be any one from iPad, luxury holiday in Asia & Europe, Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 and Apple Watch Series 3. There was a scratch coupon as well inside, which he mentioned to open at Karma royal site once we go there to collect. He also added that the Company will also provide visits of three beaches for which you'll get free pickup / drop service from the hotel, promised to offer free food and other servings at the location. We heard each and everything from him patiently and decided to go by their vehicle as a lucky winner. Driver of car also called me at night to know the confirm journey on 09th Jul 22.

Somehow, I thought of fraud in this episode as to why the company will be kind enough for us for giving one lucky coupon prize, free visits of three beaches, lunches, stay, cars etc and told to my wife about some wrongs behind this. We declined the plan now and posting it here about this episode for friends alike us for not to be trapped in free prizes etc. Beware of from the free racketiers in Goa and save the family and guard earned money. It is better to enjoy as per your pocket, not free.
Reply if beneficial and eye-opener ...

July 8, 2022...Miramar Beach..Goa
Thank you for sharing these details. I should have read this article before I fell for this scam. During our way to Baga beach one of the scammer from Karma group stopped us and Sai there is one hour seminar going to present their 28th year anniversary and if we hear that we would win guaranteed prize. Once we enter they explain there member ship plan without reveling the cost. They wasted 2 hours of our time and once I started asking the cost they still continue with their stupid logic and force me to enroll. I said I need some time and I will check online reviews and then confirm but they don’t accept. Finally after 3 hours I gave up and walked away. They offer me a prize for a free stay at Europe which I eventually cannot use. This is the way their scams goes on and I see some visitors wasting their time. On the next day we went on the same way and see 3 scammers tried to stop us but we did not stop. One of them said we already know about this and I said yes. Please please don’t fall for this scam and waste your valuable time.
Thanks a lot! You are a hero, your post saved us.
