Biggest fraud company worldwide

Unfortunately I got into trap of CountryClub promotions. I was told I will be part of Ownership program and not the general membership one and I can cancel membership within 24hrs.


After making the payment, within 14hr I felt I am not capable of making the payments and asked for refund  visited their office then next day and  written many mails to all the possible CountryClub contact details in kuwait and Banglore, but there is not a single response


KSTDC (Yeshwantpur) be careful
Aug 31, 2014 11:36 PM2447 Views

I had taken a package from KSTDC(Bangalore near Yeshwantpur railway station). For 1 night stay in Mysore and 1 night stay in Coorg. With cab they charged me INR 15000.


1) The hotels were very small. We can say just OK. They don't have their own kitchen. We have to order from outside.


2) The worst part is the cab driver. He was rude. Not friendly. He was drunken while driving. And he was driving so rush. I was so scarred till I reach back Bangalore.


I feel it's good to plan before and get the package from the popular trip advisers like makemymytrip.


I am sure I will never go to KSTDC again


KSTDC extorted money in the midst of jungle
Dec 25, 2012 11:18 AM1419 Views

I have tried several Bangalore based long distance cab providers on several occasions to make outstation trips. So far my experience was pleasant in almost all occasions.


Last weekend (Dec-12), I along with one of my colleagues and our wives made a plan to make a short weekend trip to Mudumalai jungle in Tamil Nadu. This time, I decided to book an Innova from KSTDC. I thought that being a government sponsored tourism development agency, KSTDC would have even better service. I was proved completely wrong and we went to severe mental trauma due to the action of the driver and the KSTDC staffs who tried several intimidating tricks to extort money from us in the midst of jungle.


The trauma began when we reached Tamil Nadu check post. The driver told us that the check post toll is Rs. 1, 250. The amount seemed a little suspicious and hence we decided to go along the driver to the toll collection booth to check. The driver tried to trick us in several ways to not to go to the check post. Despite all his persuasion, we went with him and found that the check post fee is only Rs. 470. When we confronted the driver he told us that we have to pay Rs 1250 as this is the standard rate irrespective of what the check post fee is. When we argued that we are not supposed to pay any extra charges other than the toll / check post fees, he refused to budge.


We thought that calling the KSTDC call center number would solve the problem. When we called the KSTDC staff in Bangalore, to our horror we found that he was threatening us to pay the money or face with dire consequences. I tried to argue with him that this is unfair for such a reputed company like KSTDC to extort money from the customers taking advantage of their helplessness in the midst of a jungle. He threatened us that if we don’t agree to pay the money he can do two things:




  1. He can instruct the driver to leave us in the jungle. This is not a very pleasant solution as we have two women in our group. We will be stranded in the jungle with no other transportation available.




  2. He also threatened us using a very intimidating tone that if we don’t pay up, they have several other ways to extract money from us. Again with two women in our groups and knowing about the recent incidents involving drivers and other stuffs, we took this threat seriously and decided to pay up.






We went to such a mental trauma at the threatening behavior of the driver and his handler at KSTDC, that the trip turned into a nightmare. We just prayed that we reached Bangalore as soon as possible, safe and sound.
