"Vacations Gateway Customer care team Contact number:[protected] Email: [protected]@vacationsgateway.com.co" I am a CA and in practise for last 7 -8 year. I got a call from a call centre starting with the sentence that " Hi Mam, I am calling from the portal payment gateway Paytm and we have a offer for u" and i insured it 2-3 times that is it from Paytm and they said yes. So looking to the big/known/ trustworthy name of Paytm, i thought it was worth listening to the offer as sometimes big companies really give genuine offers on their anniversary or some other gud news. The lady said that I have 2 offers from Paytm 1. Sony Tablet 2. Samsung S6 mobile She also asked me surf the respective products while she waited online for me to check the same. Then she said that I m on Paytm lucky draw list standing 3rd in no. and I can opt for any of these gifts with a small token payment of Rs. 8549/-. looking to me suspicious attitiude that why Paytm wud offer that to me she transfered the call to her senior Mr. Ram who convinced me that he was calling from Paytm.I confirmed that why Paytm wud do so? He said from millions of customers the company if we take Rs.1 per customers, the company is earning millions per day from their payment gateway and for this they choose to reward 5 cutomers once in a year. (and this year i was the lucky one standing 3rd in their list). Also along with this gift their is a complimentary vacation package (7 days) given to u free of cost for ur family. Then he asked me my prefernce for colour of mobile and I opted for Gold Samsung S6 mobile. He said it will be deliver to my house in maximum 5 working days. So I again confirmed whether this is not a fraud call and Mr. Ram said Mam wen u make the payment u will pay to Paytm and tht is the surety of your money being in safe hands. I thought may be this is a genuine call as wen I will make payment definitely i will come to knw wther it is going to paytm so wen i started the payment it went to Paytm and I was assured tht it was paytm but later wen I received the receipt I got it from "Vacation Gateway" and i understood that they sold me a vacation at the price of Rs. 8549/- and no gift is coming to me. Also later at night I surfed the net and found tht many customers are complaining on consumer forum that Vacations Gateway is luring them with different gifts like laptops/mobiles/I pad and others and selling them their vacation pacakages. Request your company to look into the matter and keep a check on fraud companies. Also u shud blacklist such accounts from ur list so tht they don fool many customers in future. Pls take strict actions against the company as daily it is fooling millions of customers by fake promises. I hope a decent/desired action is taken against them so that in future they don fool others. Being a CA i was fooled then think about the uneducated ones. If Vacations Gateway is really genuine and ask them the status of Samsung S6 mobile phone they offered to courier me. ASLO Wrote several mails to Paytm to stop my payment but no response for the same . I think both of them are partners in crime.
