Money Magic Holidays — Service provider for Master & Visa card | |||
I had just received a call from Money Magic Holidays from no.: [protected] & [protected]. 'pnreddyp' exactly mentioned above what those guys started with. I became fishy as to how come this people know so many details of my card and personal details. On questioning them, the lady told me 1st that they were the service provider for Master & Visa card and so had got the details of those customers who use their cards properly and pay on time. On my doubts, she explained me there are 3 types of customers. 1) who although have card but never use it. 2) You have card & use it and never pay or late pay masters & 3) You have card and you use it properly and pay on time. After that she verified my details like D.O.B., email address, billing address, phone no on which the SMS flashes after using the card etc. This were very suspicious questions and i expressed my inability and asked them abt their details. Then she revealed her Co. name as Money Magic Holidays and transferred the call to some guy who claimed to be from 'relevant department'(?). They have a typical style, verifying details of your card and in between asking those questions abt your card which probably they might not know like 'CVV' no. If you doubt them, they will answer you but very immediately re-start the conversation diverting a bit and again coming to the track. The guy on the phone did not share any info but revealed and confirmed the co. name. But on questioning him further, his language worsened so much that he stared using gali-galoch. Seemed to be frustrated as i took over him and kept hammering questions in much tricky manner... Was this information helpful? | |||

Same thing happened with me but as i mentioned that my husband is an advocate, they immediately send me the welcome kit & said u can fill up the form in order to plan the holiday...
I have been called by Money Magic Holidays asking for Credit Card details. They represent saying that they are attached with Master & Visa Cards selling holidays based on your credit card spending performance.
Thankfully I have not given any of my credit card details.
Kindly be alert for this.
Thanks,

On 2 July 2014, I received a call from [protected], claiming that they were from Visa credit card services, and asked a few routine questions such as whether or not I was receiving my bill on time, since they had received complains from some customers, where they received the bills after due date.
After the routine questions they informed me about a policy regarding a payback card which would carry a minimum cash back benefit on all transactions at any shopping mall, irrespective of whether I made a cash or card payment. Apart from that they also mentioned that they would refund me current pay back points in form of a few gift products and a discounted holiday package.
They confirmed to me my full name, registered phone number for the card and my Date of birth accurately. After that they asked whether I was interested in the discounted holiday package in return for my current payback points.
They directed me as to how to make an on call payment through my credit card on their automated system, and so I made a payment of INR 7990.
After that they asked me for my email and billing address. This made me doubtful regarding the transaction and I questioned them, to which they replied that for security purposes I had to confirm my address within call, and thereafter provided me with a helpline number [protected].
After the call I received the transaction message which said that the transfer was made to "C group technologies." I called the help desk and inquired them, to which they replied that I shall get my kit within 12 days and only after that I could raise any questions. The kit I received is nothing like what was offered. The card provided only has black printed line to pretend as a magnetic strip.
I would like to raise a complaint on following points.
1. Unauthorized possession of my personal information - How did they get hold my details of Full name, phone number registered to my credit card, and my exact date of birth?
2. Fraud in the name of Visa credit card services - The caller confirmed himself as a Visa credit card services employee, which he was not. The corporation is money magic holiday, based in Delhi. Full address of the company mentioned on the kit is ADD- RZ11, 2nd floor, Mahindra Park, Near C-1 bus stop, Uttam Nagar, New Delhi - 110059

Hi,
Thank you members, for posting this and saving me from having a pitfall today.
I received a call this morning from the number +91 [protected] saying they would give me a card to offer 10-30% discounts on almost every purchase and asked by starting with my Card type VISA/Mastercard and the card expiry date, that lady was asking me to take out my card and tell the details o.O. Later she told me about the offer and the one time payment of Rs.7, 990 to avail the said benefits and she then transferred the call to some guy who gave a recap of all the offers and was asking me to make the payment. When I expressed my unwillingness to make the payment, his tone changed and he started getting aggressive asking if I would not like to save my money and get the benefits. I asked him to hold on and to avoid any unforeseen risk, checked this site and got my card blocked immediately.
Our card details and password are confidential and even the bank customer care executives are also not supposed to ask for your password/cvv. But we forget/ignore these details owing to the busy times these fraudsters call us and trying their best to fool people. Beware!
Thanks

I was also a potential victim of Magic Holiday. I am saved from a pitfall due to you peoples reviews. Thanks for saving me.
I was called by the sales team and they provided me my card details saying tat it is a open detail and asked my CVV No. When I asked that why u asking me my CVV no she said that she is just conforming it. They give me honey dipped offers.
1) Discount voucher wherein I get 10-30% discount on all shopping whether online or off line except Gold & Petrol.
2) Holiday Voucher wherein I get one national holiday trip and one international holiday trip of 2N/3D each and if I don't want one option then it can be either one holiday with 4N/5D. All expenses being met by them except my ticket charges.
3) Gift Voucher which consists of one men's combo, women's combo, one sunglass for men & women out of which I can select two.
Then the call was transferred to billing department who asked me for payment of Rs. 7, 999/- with an option of monthly EMI of 500 for 16 months.
I was ready to pay it but fortunately my card didn't had tat much balance. So my transaction was declined. The sms stating my decline of transaction came in the name of the company named "C Group Technologies".
Please be aware of this money sucking creatures. Its all our hard earned money, we have to take care. Please keep posting guys asthey are still out luring innocent people with their exceptional honey dipping yet fake offers.

Yes, you are very true, similar incident happened with me couple of days ago. MONEY MAGIC IS A FRAUD. But very surprisingly, how come they have our credit card details, which is kept only with bank sources. I did lot of complaints on this case, the. I came to know that even bank employees are mixed in this racket and our personal information is shared to them by bank.

I ASKED TIME TO PAY THAT 8000 BCOS WAHT TO CLEAR IT BY ONLINE THANKS A LOT GUYS
Same thing happened with me. What can we do now. Can i able to file complaint..
Dear Folks,
This incident is spreading like born fire and they are using the same strategy to scam people across the nation. Couple of pattern noticed by reading this forum and also the fact that this incident had happened to me couple of hours back.
1. Introduce themselves as HDFC bank or Master/Visa card service provider or any other bank
2. Group of tech savvy people involved - Level 1 support (Girl who gives introduction); Level 2 support (Girl who explains benefits of kit) and Manager (Guy who acts as if he is Leonardo Di Caprio of the famous movie - Catch Me If You Can)
3. Collecting your CC details - They will normally start with conversation - "Sir your card number 3432..." which is a false number and they use reverse psychology to reveal your actual CC number by correcting them.
Only details known to them before hand are your -
a) First Name b) Last Name c) Mobile Number.
Rest details they really don't possess and remaining details they try to seek out from you under the name of "Verification Call From The Bank".
Flaws in their strategy are as follows -
1. You should never ask for anyone's CVV number along with your Date Of Birth which even the bank is not authorized to ask the card holder
2. How the hell Mastercard and VISA cards are in collaboration with various market places like - CROMA, DA MART, SPENCER etc. thus, allowing you (i.e. card holder) benefits of 10-30% discounts on purchases done? Whereas, the business model of Mastercard & VISA card is completely different game altogether
3. On top of this - How the hell are they providing domestic + international holiday packages along with meal plan coupons?
Above three questions bothered me while having a conversation with them of which they didn't had any answers. It was my good day that i became alert and made a quick call to HDFC Call Center Support and got it certified from them that this was a fraud call altogether. I thank Mr. Habib from HDFC support team for guiding me to immediately block my CC.
As soon as my CC was blocked the smart dick head have guts to call me again and say - Why did i had blocked my CC? Surprising to my notice i guess they have some system in place which can track you CC transactions or updates.We entered into a heated argument and that son of have guts to say - Please come and kick my in Gurgaon, and even the police or government can't do a to me legally for which i now wonder he has identified some loop hole in our current legal system of cyber crime due to which he has confidence of committing this crime since 2013.
Also he is using some kind of call centre set up (Software installed) wherein he can -
1) Make calls to a particular mobile phone by masking his actual identity (i.e. real phone number which can only be traced by mobile service providers like idea, tata, airtel etc.)
2) You cannot make a phone call back to the mask number from any other mobile phones

Question which we need to focus -
1) Is this person Mr. Shiv mohan the culprit behind this entire racket?
2) Is he a victim/target by these team of - Catch Me If You Can wanabes
3) If this person is innocent then why do you think that this man is sitting quiet since 2013 and not taking any action against these scammers
4) How the hell does these guys are getting a list of all HDFC bank CC users details with their registered mobile number and contact person name which i supposed has to be confidential thing. I guess the bank has some loop hole in their system and processes
5) In this smart age of smart phone with facebook, whatsapp, wechat etc. we as end consumer easily register all our personal details without thinking twice which then come back and bite us in our . I would make personal recommendation never use any smart phone app which would require your personal details that are linked with your bank.
I'm sure and i believe that our Mumbai Crime Branch would definitely catch these Son Of who think they are keeping low profile by scamming only 8k from each individual hoping that the victim wouldn't bother to raise his voice or may not have guts to do so.
Cheers!
