] Date Posted: Fri, Nov 11 2005, 23:37:07 This is a notice to all those in Singapore who had bought a time-share membership from Oriental Travel through hard-sell tactic. I am in the same boat as you and am now thinking of seeking redress through legal means. If I can garner a large number of disgruntled members of Oriental Travel then we could seek legal advice and subsequently take latigation against the directors of Oriental Travel for false representation and etc. In short, a class action suit. If you are a victim or maybe you have a relative or friend in this 'mess' then kindly send an email with phone number to dinotang9@safe-mail.net Subject line: 'Oriental Travel victim' Dino Tang [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: Wed, Nov 16 2005, 17:58:57 Apparently alot of hot air is being blown about and wallowing in self-pity in this forum but no posiive step is taken. I am giving an opp for those who were conned by Oriental Travel to contact me but no one has done...so far. My plan is to gather as many victims of OT as possible and then we consult a lawyer, plain and simple. This is called a CLASS ACTION SUIT. For everyone's info I have been told that if we combine as a united force we can whack them and get our money back. We can establish 'intent to cheat'. So victims of Oriental Travel step up to the table and be counted and be a force to reckon with. Dino Tang [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: Thu, Nov 17 2005, 21:42:55 Dino have shown that these forum is nothing more than just people likw "GEORGE", a regular writer and ex-saleman of Timeshare to BLOW HOT AIR. Why no one wrote to Dino when I read so many unhappiness in these forum? I suggest that Dino do it on his own. If he got a case of Oriental cheating him, go report to the police or better still the CAD so they could go raid them and close them down... you don't need to spend money on legal fee. First go to CAD check if Oriental got a licence for their Lucky draw of a brand new car, etc. Then check if the draw is conducted as per their claim...every month or every three months, etc. If so, get CAD to check if the draw id conducted legitimately...no hanky panky. They have this draw for like more than a year and I understand that so far it has been done once and once only AND who won the car? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: Thu, Dec 29 2005, 10:17:23 Dino, you may want to give CASE a call. I did contact them during my cooling-off period after I cancelled my agreement with them, just in case OT tried to pull a fast one. There is just a small fee involved and I believe they may be able to help you out without incurring hefty legal fees. I don't doubt they have come across a few situations like yours seeking redress.

Date Posted: Fri, Dec 30 2005, 0:41:53 Hi, My mum just signed a contract with oriental travel, probably in Sep 2005 without knowing it was a scam. She paid SGD$25,000 with her hard earned money and I really felt so sad for her. But I have heard that there are so many cases whereby victims combine to sue and many a times the victims failed and the best thing is they incurr more expenses like legal fees. As we really do not have any lawyer advise, it is difficult and costly to fight such a battle. Do any of you have any lawyer friends whereby they can sincerly provide you with solid advice?? HELP!!!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: Wed, Jan 04 2006, 10:01:04 I recently attended their presentation with my wife. Looking for people willing to take some action. For those who are not just "all talk". Please contact me. We can meet to discuss and take action together. I've already emailed dino, dennis and jacqueline awaiting their replies. If no one replies, I'll just have to take the walk alone. Goal is to hit them hard, REALLY HARD!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: Fri, Jan 06 2006, 8:27:46 So far only 2 have contacted me. Jeremy, whom I've asked to also contact Dennis, and Dennis himself who is still looking for more people for his class action suit. Where is Dino and Jacqueline? Anyway, I've already started my walk and should have more on the outcome in the next month. Please act, just talking will get nothing done. Get together as a group and you'll be able to put more pressure on them while learning from the experiences of others. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: Fri, Jan 06 2006, 14:51:48 guys, i heard that many have fought the cases and did not win becos of the contract we signed. It is really tight and they are smart. Hitting them on the lucky draw issue and getting them to close down eventually is no use becos we wont get our $ back. Its no point. We might incur a large amount of legal fees for nothing in the end becos we know nuts about fighting the cases. they have lawyers helping them to draft professional and solid contracts. my suggestion is to get friends who are lawyers to look at the contacts and see at least where we stand. at least we know can we win or can we not first. many complaints together might not help also. pls read other people's forum who have fought these cases. we should seek their advices.

Date Posted: Wed, Jan 11 2006, 8:40:35 Hi Jo, compared to you and many others, I may be new and inexperienced. However, I do not fully agree with your sentiment. Where legal action is concerned, collective effort will help pool information, reduce cost and add credibility. Where the seller is concerned, collective effort will help increase the intimidation factor of the buyer. Maybe you can give details of where you heard of the lost cases, studying them can help others. In such cases, victors often have to sign "agreements of silence" when they get their money back. The success of such sales tactics is based on the average buyers psychy being gullible, easily intimidated, timid of confrontation, unresolute with action, individualistic, unwilling to coorperate and help others. I am certainly guilty of being gullible, but definitely not the others. Winning may not guarantee money back, but it will certainly help many others. I'm sure we can all find a little more selflessness from within. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
