MagicBricks Complaints & Reviews

My Name is Nihar Apte. I was looking for a flat on rent and saw an advertisement on MagicBricks. He asked me for a token advance of Rs. 5000/- so he could fly down to Bangalore from Delhi to show the property. He also promised that if the flat was not to my expectation he will refund the amount.

His name is Debashish Mishra and His No is [protected]. Address #747, 13th main, near punjabi mirchi masala bangalore 560076.

When i went to the house, i found out that this property is being occupied by the 3 people and is a 2BHK not 1. None of the houses in that building belong to him and he seems to be making money off property that does not belong to him. I filed an FIR against this person in the police.

On contacting MagicBricks I was informed that MagicBricks cannot do anything since the dealing was between me and the so called owner. How can we trust any property posted on MagicBricks. The least that they can do is backlist the person and flash a advisory.

I am getting fake Enquiries against my subscription. Magic Bricks is cheating its subscribed customers. After continuous calls from Customer service i subscribed for 2 month subscription. They promised me more enquiries and visibility on website. I have a property in Maharashtra and getting calls from Delhi Landline numbers, to which incoming is barred. I got atleast 10 to 12 fake calls from delhi landline numbers, to which all numbers are incoming barred. My subscription amount has gone waste.

I had purchased a package with this fraud company during august last year and have been a victim of a fraud which this company is conducting easily and cheating its customers. They promised me to send an emailer product as they had good leads data which they could never give me sampling of nor could they justify that the emailer was sent to the right audience and also they company only specializes in making excuses and only excuses as I have been trying to follow up with them since October for a refund an the only thing their complaints team is mentioning to me is that your complaint has been forwarded to the concerned department and they shall revert to you. They have still not been able to define to me who is the so called concerned department nor has been able to give me anby status on it since December for which I have been complaining on. Some of their tickets raised by me to point out this complaint are as follow : 519592‏ (August) 543559 (August) 463720‏ (March) 402093‏ (October) Still nothing but only that the so called concerned department will get in touch with you. They only cheat customers and I guess thats how they claim now themselves to be the no. 1 but 99acres is far better rather than advertising with this fraud company.

Dear Sir, Date of Incident: Jan 2015, Ahmedabad We took 4 months service of display of our projects in MagicBricks.com. We gave two months advance money - wrong project uploaded - missed deadlines o[censored]ploading - Very poor and substandard designing. - Basic spelling mistakes/ improper image resolution and ratios - took over 2 months to complete 2 single pages - after completion- uploaded our page for just 15-20 days - started demanding money for balance 2 months. - Despite clear complaints/ email communications/ acceptance of their fault by company, Our project for which 2 months advance money was given was displayed for just 15-20 days. - Senior management sleeping and non-responsive. - All of them just keep asking for more money. Because of delay in their services, we missed our entire marketing campaign which included Outdoor media, print media and radio.

hello, We had purchased a package of magicbricks products and one amongst which was emailer of 10000 of any project listing. So we coordinated with magicbricks team and prepared a format which we had to mail to the target audience of budget Rs. 3 crore to Rs. 7 crore and above for location South Mumbai. As per their claim they said they sent it to the target audience and we received responses which included for a chawl around kurla, properties around Thane and in their response report, it clearly states the client budget as Rs. 10 lakhs to Rs. 20 Lakhs in many of the responses. My query is that if they did not have a database to match the target audience, why do they sell products and fool customers like us as we requested it to resend to the correct database as it was not a part of our target audience which they now refuse and say that this was given complimentary to us as we had purchased a package worth Rs. 70000 / - approx and if that is the case, we would like our money back as we did not get the right product as we clearly paid 70000/- and included 10000 emailer as a part of the product and not as a free product. I would request all not to buy magicbrikcs products as they are fraud and only cheat people as they rather pass on their true leads to their sister concern company timesmoney.com which is also a property consultancy firm and fool property consulatncy firms like us. Hoping other would not be fooled the way we were. Thanks & Regards, Dashmesh Properties

Magic bricks kept calling me to upgrade to a paid lisiting on their site and told me how benificial it would be.
i paid the amount required by cheque.
they promised me that within - 4 days i would get a mailer form & emails wd be sent to a huge group of potential customers as identified by them.
Alos i wd be upgraded from free to premium listing

But my free listing was not upgraded by them and it expired
when i saw this i told them & then they realized what had happened. they updated my listing. i lost appx 10 days as their was no listing for this period
the mailer form i was to receive was not sent to me! even on repeated reminders.
finally the mailer form was sent to me. i filled in the required details immediately and sent back to them the same day.
No response from their side. 2 days later they sent me the same for approval. i went thru it & made some changes & approved it. they sent it back to me for approval a few times ( i dont know why they wasted time by sending it again when i hv given FINAL APPROVAL!)
by this time i must hv spoken to at least 8-10 people in various departments. i had made many complaints on their site. they wd tell me we will call back BUT DID NOT. How many times- i cannot tell u !! pathetic service .

finally mailer was approved & ready to send. but they started delaying it & would not tell me of a date. then they told me they wd send it almost a week later. when i strongly objected ( after making many many calls) they gave me an earlier date.

finally the mailer was sent (appx 40 days after they had taken the money!!!!). by now i had lost sooo much valuable time for renting out my property & had told them this on various occasions.
i was told witihn 3 days i wd get the mailer report/status. its been 8 days. their is no reply from them. no email from magic bricks. no call- NOTHING
i called them up & told them about it. as usual some1 is sick, the other person is not on the desk etc etc was told to me. they said they wd call back
NO ONE CALLED BACK ( AS USUAL) . THIS IS A JOKE!! A BAD NIGHTMARE

also from the time i paid them the money i hv not rcvd even 1 query for my property ( its been more than 1. 5 months!!) wat a shock , as during free lisiting i rcvd more than 20 queries in 8-9 days. i told this to them on mail & on phone many many times...no one gave me any reason. i told them there is something wrong for sure. they are not helpful at all. they say it is strange that no queries are coming but no one did anything about it.

i put a property on free lisiting to test out magic bricks using a different account. immediately i am receiving queries in my free account!



very very terrible EXPERIENCE. menatl harrasment !

sorry for ever paying u people.

u hv cheated me. losers!

SUB:- Complaint against MAGICBRICKS for its neglegence in services which made me run into heavy losses

Sir,
This complaint is against MAGICBRICKS in accordance to the above mentioned subject.
I have availed a unlimited listing one year free subscription pack from MAGICBRICKS. For the past 15 days I am having problems in my listing. I am not able to list any new properties on my space.
I have called the customer care nearly 6 times and given my complaint on the mail a number of times. Everytime I just receive a false assurance from the customer care executives of the same to be resolved on priority.
I have not listed my new propeties for the past 15 days due to which I am running into heavy losses. I am not able to close any new deals. My properties are lying vacant.
Now the customer care is telling that the cheque I had given favouring Magicbricks at the time of availing the service is not been cleared. I fail to understand if my cheque hadent been clear how am I using the service since Februay 2008.I am sorry but I have no family relation with the Times Group. My bank statement is showing the clearance of the cheque. This clearly shows that just to give a fake answer to the customers the executives speak whatever comes to their mouth.
I need to give a special complaint against an employee of Magicbricks named MR.ANAND. His mobile is [protected] .I had called this employee for my problem and had requested him to help me in the same as soon as possible. The next day I receive a call from him for the above said problem. The language in which he spoke was very unethical and very rash, he even concluded saying that I havent bought the TIMES GROUP by paying the charges for the services.I dont have the capacity to buy the TIMES GROUP but I think that it is my legal right to at least ask for rights pertaining to the services for which I have paid from my hard earned money.I fail to understand how to these type of people are promoted by the TIMES GROUP to represent their brand in the market. TIMES GROUP is a brand in itself, people like these are just reflecting that the brand is failing in its consistency and its endorsement.
Promises of a good and excellent service is made at the time of selling the service to the customers but never fulfiled.I fell there must be many customers like me who must be facing these problems.
I need a resulation to my problem.Is the Times Group going to pay me for my losses incurred in the past 15 days. I have lost a hell number of deals.
Should I go to the consumer forum for the same since I have all the calls recorded and all the evedances pertaining to the same?

Regards,
RAJEEV KUMAR GUPTA
