[Resolved]  SBI PRIVILEGE CIRCLE PROGRAMME — Membership offer for free air travel, hotel stay,and free gift

One person(male) contacted over my mobile telephone on 9th September,2010 to inform me that he is telling on behalf of SBI Credit Card and informed that I have been selected as the priviledged SBI card holder to offer some free benefits. Prior to that he wanted to confirm whether I am "Mohanji" and also wanted to know whether I am carrying the credit card with me and he wanted some information on the card for verification.I categorically mentioned that the card is not with me at this moment and he requested to keep the credit card with me so that he can contact me on next day(Call was given from[protected]. Next day that oerson again contacted me for verification and inform me about the offer that includes stay in hotels for two nights and three days for the family of four in any destinations in India out of 60 destinstions, one free air travel for self only for any destination in India and a polo wrist watch all absolutely free but as membership fee i have to pay for Rs. 6067 including service Tax. They wanted my card No. , date of expiry, and Pin Code of the recorded address. Prior to give my confirmation I asked him why I have been offering this benefit. He replied that it has been selected as priviledged customer and from Kolkata only four prrsons have been selected. I informed them unless I go through the terms and condition I cannot give my unconditional consent and also wanted to know whether it canbe withdrawn if I find it otherwise. They informed affirmitively and also informed that on receiving the documents you can go ythrough the details and the offer will remain valid for eight monyhs and you need not pay now, it will be charged in next credit card statement and if you dont agree it will be refunnded by reversing. He also assured that all the conversations are instatntly recorded for reference. After getting my confirmation he told me that within few minutes his senior officer will come back to me over telephone for further confirmation, when I should agrree to the proposal. After few minutes another call received from a female person[protected]. He also repeats the same procedure and inform me that for giving my consent the line will be transferred to a computrised system when I have to submit the button no. 1 for agreeing the offer and also inform that all the documents will be despatched to my address. I informed that by this time my address has been changed. That lady immediately recorded the changed address and inform me that all the documents will be sent to my new address if I accept the offer. Which i accepted . They inform me their helpline No. [protected] for future requirement. Later on from this complaints forum Website I came to know that so many persons have been cheated by the SBI priviledge Circle Programme. I am just waiting to see what happen reserving the option to decline the offer if it does not suit me as they have communicated.
