[Resolved]  Sands Shopping Hub — Cheating/Fraud Company

Address:New Delhi, Delhi

Dear Sir/Madam,
This Company (Sands Info-systems Pvt. Ltd.), also known as "Sands Shopping Hub" has cheated me to the tune of Rs.43,000/- by making false claims and giving false assurances.
During the month of March 2011, I received a phone call from one of the sales executives of this company who claimed that my name is selected from a list of eligible potential winners of a prize amount ranging from Rs.30,000/- up to Rs.3,00,000/- and if I make online purchase of some products for Rs.21,000/-, I will be winning one of the prize amount which is not less than Rs.30,000/-. So, I made a cash deposit of Rs.10,000/- into the above company's bank account at ICICI Bank and made a Credit Card payment of Rs.11,000/-.
After 4 days, I received another call from the same executive, who congratulated me and claimed that my name has won one of the above mentioned prizes and to claim the same, I had to make another purchase for Rs.22,000/- as there is another customer who is leading the contest from my region by making a purchase for Rs.42,000/- and if I make a purchase for Rs.22,000/-, my total purchase amount will be Rs.43,000/- and I will be the topper in the contest. When I inquired him about the description of the products, he insisted me to first make the payment as the time is very short and the product details will be disclosed later on as there is nothing to lose as I would be winning a minimum amount of Rs.30,000/-. So, I made another purchase for Rs.22,000/-. Later on, the executive congratulated me, stating that I have won a prize amount of Rs.30,000/- and connected me to another person, who claimed to be the Senior Manager of the Company, also congratulated me and collected my personal details like my Age, Permanent Account Number (PAN), Nominee details, etc. and insisted me to provide the proof of my address and photo identification at the time of claiming the winning prize, which would be paid within next 3 months. But, for my surprise, I did not receive any prize and received only some unwanted products from the company. So, I contacted the Senior Manager and informed him about my dissatisfaction of the products and asked him to take back the products and refund me the amount paid for which he told me that he will discuss the matter with his senior officials and assured me that my problem will be resolved within few days.
During the month of July, another Senior Manager of the company contacted me over phone and told the same story as happened in March. So, I informed him about the past incidences and upon asking for the reason for not paying me my prize, he told me that my name has been selected for a bigger contest with a bigger prize amount and insisted me to make another purchase so that I can win a bigger amount. But, I declined to make any further purchase and instead asked him to take the products back and refund the amount paid by me towards the same for which he told me that he is not authorized to do so and he would forward the matter to the Accounts Dept. of the company. So, I started following up the matter over phone with the company representatives continuously between frequent intervals and after several attempts, I was able to speak to a person who claimed to be from the Accounts Dept. of the company. I told him all the details for which he rejected my plea saying that I have made the purchases upon my willingness for the products and there is no question of taking back of the products. He also claimed that he is having the recordings of all the telephone conversations held with me by the company representatives and his company has its own team of auditors and lawyers who will handle my case on behalf of the company if any legal dispute arises from my end.
Therefore, I am deeply disappointed and disgusted about the kind of attitude of these companies who cheat gullible customers like me by making false claims and snatch money from us. I have transacted with several other companies like Bag It Today, Ebay, Big Bazaar etc. who all have the "Guaranteed Satisfaction Policy" where, if a customer did not like any product, he can return the same to the company and get the refund for the same.

To Whom-so-ever It May Concern :

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am taking back this complaint as I have received assurances by this Company's Executive/Manager over telephone that my issue will be sorted out at the earliest.

Regards,
Ramesh M S
I am not intrested in your non-standard products.Please return Rs.20, 500/- on my account.

I made a transaction with Sands Shopping Hub Representative Name : Mr. Amresh Kumar, the Representative committed for sending Branded American diamond set at a total cost of rs.17500/-, Coffe/Teamaker Cordless Rs. 7000/-, Branded Wath cost Rs. 15500/-, Home theater cost of Rs. 12500/-, I next camcorder cost of Rs. 12500 and Winning Thai Pearl Set Rs 36500. I got all these but Total Market Price is Average 7000/- MAXIMUM against payment of 20500/-.

They have been calling me. When I asked them how did you get my number they said that you may shopped online or used your credit card somewhere and so we might have got it from RBI



I personally suggest everyone to avoid calls from Sands Shopping Hub. This company is making false representation and delivery of non-standard products. NEVER GO WITH SANDS SHOPPING HUB


THERE IS NO NANO. No KARIZMA, no CASH PRIZE on SANDS SHOPPING HUB. There is only Fraud….

I have contacted to Mr. Kapil on 14/12/2011 I have talk half an hour who is Assistant Manager and he commitment to me that hesend immediately a mail on my mail id but till now I have not received any mail regarding this matter. On 15/12/2011 I try to talk Mr. Kapil but one executive told me that he is busy in meeting.

III rd Person name Mr. Mohan Gupta .

Agar hum log ek sath kahi bhi jayege to hamari complain ke taraf dhyan se bichar kiya jayega.
Thanks for comments on this. Even i received such call today and they asked me to make a transaction for Rs. 20500/- and assured me a prize of karizma zmr or apple macbook. I said I don't trust IVR and don't wanna provide CC details on phone. Then He insisted me to make a payment online, even online i was asked to enter my credit card number and CVV code but I just hang up the call and thought to check for the reviews first. So here Im and I'm never gonna make any transactions with them(sands shopping hub).
To Whom-so-ever It May Concern :

I am taking all my complain back from Sandsshoppinghub behalf of Mr. Raj Malhotra(HOD) he has assure me to give a better product name Nano ipod cost Rs. 8900/ INR and I have received this product. He also give assurance to me that in one or two months he give me other better benefit which I have nothing to pay company. If he will not full fill his assurance in one or two months then I am able to file a complain on company.

From :Baban Yadav
Dear Mr. Baban Yadav,

Never trust this company's representatives. They are all big liars. They have not yet responded to my following complaints.

1. Upon my several requests, they had promised me that they will provide me copies of the invoices for all the products which I have purchased. But, I never received any invoice by post or email.

2. They claimed that I have won a prize amount of Rs.30, 000/- and congratulated me for the same. They collected all my details like Full Name, Date of Birth, Address, PAN, Bank Account Details, Nominee Name, Nominee Date of Birth etc. But I never received any such prize and when I contacted them over phone, I was told that my name is selected for a much bigger contest where my prize amount will be much higher and that would probably be the reason for not getting my present prize. They even insisted me to make another purchase so that I would get more benefits. But I refused for the same and requested them to take back their products and refund the amount paid for the same. But they did not respond.

3. When I contacted them over phone and demanded for the refund, they rejected my plea saying that I have made the purchases upon my own willingness for the products and there is no question of taking back of any product. They also threatened me by saying that they are having the recordings of all the telephone conversations held with me by the company representatives and their company has its own team of auditors and lawyers who will handle my case on behalf of the company if any legal dispute arises from my end.

4. Even after writing my first complaint, I contacted them over phone and they had assured me that my issues will be resolved only after taking back my complaint as it would affect their ratings otherwise. Hence, I even took back my complaint. But, they never reverted me regarding my issue. They even did not respond to my emails and are not at all bothered about my issues. Therefore, I have made my complaint again and I will challenge them that I will not leave the matter here.

Hey, Thanx guys for posting on this forum. Today, i have received a call from them and the lady told me to pay Rs. 5999 and in turn i will be nominated for a confirm gift laptop, LCD, Samsung tablet, Rs. 15000 cash and apart from this company will also provide me 5 other gifts...Wow!!! Anyone can fell in to this trap. The woman helped me in surfing the site and finally led me to the payment page and asked for payment. I was aware of these kinds of frauds. I have not made the payment and told the woman I will first see and then get back to you. She said ok and how much time is required to take decision. I had told her to call me tomorrow and I am sure she is not going to call me. If she will call then i will screw her up.
People, my empathy is with you, I can understand losing hard-earned money and how it feels. But please it’s my advice to you do something and stop these fraudulent. I know many of you must be searching a way to make complaints here and there. In fact, I also do not know where to make complaint. I will find out and will post here. For the time being you people work on it search on internet, ask to your relatives who work in Government departments, we may find people who can guide us. For the time being, follow these simple instructions and ask your dear and closed ones to follow the same.
1. People please purchase products from known sites, consider the rest of websites as fraudulent. Do not go for websites, which are new or you are seeing at the first time. Also, i[censored] still wants to purchase from any website, first go and confirm the reviews about the website.
2. Never answer to calls from VOIP with numbers starting from +91-140-XXXXXXXX. This code is of Noida and the worst thing you cannot call back on these numbers.
3. Also do not buy anything from people who call from these kind of phone numbers especially, Insurance they commit anything to you for selling.
4. Do not respond to emails saying loans on low interest, lottery prize, bank details, and job offer etc. etc.
5. Never make payments on sites, which do not have a security mark (which is a lock/latch similar to one we use in doors).
6. Also a few frauds send email URL that looks like the same website similar to any bank.

You all can send in your complaint on this site, find below URL:
