He made us fill up a small form (name, number .. etc) then congratulated us once again, shook our hands and made us promise to arrive on time. He really was a good talker!
As we were going home, I have this nagging feeling that I just couldn’t shake off. I tweeted the experience and luckily I got some info! I started consulting my good friend, Mr. Google, and found out that this company is a sham. They pretend to be a tourism establishment and entice you with gifts/prizes.
Then once in their offices, they make you watch a presentation and compel you to join their time share scheme!
I still have no clue how it works or what time shares are but after reading this article from Gulfnews… I don’t ever want to be near this guy or hear from him ever again.
Time-share scam targets gullible customers
I really can’t believe I almost fell for this! Imagine people swiping their cards and giving away AED 16,000 to AED 22,000. I knew it was too good to be true … I knew that there must be something more than what he’s saying. I just can’t believe that I ignored the signs!
Why do I say that this is a scam? Well, he said that he will give us free trip right? But reading the article, its clear that there are no free trips…no gifts. Nothing. Instead, you will have to pay and join the scheme. That, to me, is already a big FAT lie!
Be careful, folks! There are lots of scammers around!
Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!
I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.
Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.
