Oriental crown group limited - scam?
Save

I am just after some information about this group, if anyone has some?

Sept 2016 we were stopped in street, did the scratchie thing, said we had won a prize but needed to go to presentation etc etc.

Long story short and not obviously before I have now read many similar posts but not in respect of this company.

We ended up signing an agreement, paid a deposit and are paying the rest off.

They are in contact with me via email and I have also spoken to them on the phone re my concerns whether or not they legitimate due to posts about scams etc. Have received communication back that they are under the Pisona Group but registered separately.

I'm concerned they aren't legit, but communication from them so far seems ok.

Help, just don't know who is telling the truth and need to know if others have been 'suckered in' or legit customers that don't have a problem with making bookings etc once you are a fully paid member

SCAM - BE AVERE We did Visit a meeting after being contacted in the street we were Promised Trips and a big Price and we were thought that we should Visit an Hotel for 90 minutes. It took Two and a Half hour and it was a club menbership presentation where we should Invest a lot of money and We only got the offer now if we Leave the hotel we wouldn't have The offer anymore. This seen from our point of view as a big SCAM so watch out..

to add... we got their promise payments, took them months 'of course'

he is now off to pkt to pickup all the money they have finally paid.

btw its only a small amount of his stupid first payment to them years ago.

they NEVER EVER PART WITH MUCH MONEY TO YOU.

It’s a complete scam on holiday makers. Don’t be fooled into signing anything. You will not win a thing ! The voucher they claim you get for doing the 90 minute presentation you have to pay for by a membership so you get zero !

Thai government should crack down on this mob immediately

Yep spot on ! We had the same story just two days ago. Really I don’t know how we were talked into going back there for the 90 minutes so called presentation as it was this English guy trying to be our best friend and sell us this thing. You say no, and they rush you over to where to get your free prize for attending and it’s a 7 day voucher to stay in that same place you’re at in Patong but you have to pay a $99 membership plus go through another 90 minutes of presentation ! Total SCAM so people DO NOT ATTEND PRESENTATION

Hi, we are in the same situation as you. How did things turn out? I notice you posted in 2017 and so am assuming you will have been able to use the membership by now. Anyone else out there?
