FYI this GMC cannot be located i went to the place the company is close, no picture of where are they now how can i collect my money back.

I just got a call from a guy Azahar from Multipurpose Sevice Enterprise located in Park Lane Mall in Slegie Rd #10-30. He said that his company has been appointed by Royalez Previlages Membership based in the Philippines to
deal with GMC members.
I had purchased a membership through Glitterati in OCT 2009 and got nothing. They closed shop and dissappeared.
I made a ploice report and went to Small Claims court in April 20010. The court issiued an orde for Glitterati to pay a sum of money back . But of the rouge did not respond. No sight of the bugger.
I wnet to see this Azahr. He told me the best deal is to terminate the deal. The cost $1000/- and he is not sure if he can back my money from the company. The threath is that if iI don't pay $1000/- Royalz based in the Philippines will send a lawyers letter to demand that I pay the balance of what is due. It seeems that the duration is 30 yrs no other option.
I said this is a con as i expected. A foreign company geta local company to con us to buy and promises terms that they cant fulfill and we cant gte our money back now they a another company to try and get more money after cheating us.I said OK send me the summons and I will get my lawyer to fix them up. I will make a report to commercial crime dept as many of us have alreday made police reports. I asked Azahar for a name card . He says he has no card . Funny right. Don't pay just say you are making a report to Commercial Crime Dept.

Yesterday I got a call from Mr. Raymond Lee and operation manager with MultiPurpose Enterprise. He explained that the Company was only exploring the posiblities of accepting Royalez Previlege of the Philippines request for the Company to look in to those who had purchased memberships. I then explained what Azhar had told me. He was taken aback. He informed that Azhar was only a part-timer and was supposed to only see if there was a business opportunity and no offers were to be made. He assured me that this was not the what the Company had in mind and was not aware of what was happening.
Any offers to meet members would be made in writing not on the phone. I had a lengthy discussion to tell him the background of Glitterati a, d Royalez scam and that many members have made police reports and reported to Commerical Crime . The Small Claims Court has also issued orders of payment to the Glitterati who have since closed shop. He has said his company will not be involed in any thing that smells of a scam and that he will put a stop to this . So please note that if you get any calls from persons claiming to be from Multi Purpose Service ignore it . I told Raymond that I will tell members about it.

I had received a call several months back from a lady who was checking with me about this membership issue. Last week I received another call from this person identified as Brendan from Titan Asset Management located at Maxwell House #03-01C(same building as GMC). He claimed that his company was appointed by Royalez Privilege to handle cases which involved GMC. Ihad signed up a 3 years membership with an option to upgrade. I wasn't told that the contract is 99 years. Brendan had offered me 3 options.
1. Continue with the membership and pay $150 per month for maintenance fee which amounting to almost $15K
2. Terminate the contract and no refund of the amount paid previously. On top of that, I need to pay the market price of the contract in order to free myself from the liability.
3.Terminate the contract and recover the amount paid. Freed from liability but have to pay lawyer fees upfront which amounted to $1500. Lawyer will be appointed by them and claimed that lawyer is from London under a law firm called SB11. At the end of the day, I will get back the market price for membership, lawyer fees but will need to pay Titan Asset Management 10% of whichever amount I received in the end.
It seems like only option 3 is the only way out but it sounded to good to be true and smell fishy for the whole thing.
1. Why is it that Royalez Privilege appointing different people from different company in Singapore to handle the case?
2. If Royalez Privilege wants to settle the matter which mistakes were made by GMC, an appointed recruitment company in SG, why can't they send their representative to SG to settle the matter with the victims?
3. The office of Titan Asset Management seems like a temporary office rented. How do we know if it is not another scam? Can't help being skeptical after all these had happened.
I did not took up any of of the options given yet. I will contact Royalez Privilege to verify first. Must check with them if they did appointed any company in SG to handle the issue and how many companies were appointed. I will also consult a lawyer before making any decision. If only we, the victims, could gathered up to discuss this issue. I wonder how many victims are there.

All these are con companies trying to get money from you. If they call again say you are reporting to Commercial Crime Division about the call.This should chase them away. I have checked with my lawyer and he advices that these are well know scams. We have lost money and that it don't lose somemore. Whe have to get the media to expose this crooks and get CID after them so that they don't get the chance to con others.

The main company is in the Philippines so that's why you cannot find them. Ther is little or no chance to get our money back . We can only stop these con artiste from fooling others. CASE isd quite toothless and the police can't do very much it seems so these guys are having a field day.

Sorry Brenda I did not post "get off this thread" someone must have done this. You may want to note that these con men also follow this thread and maybe up to monkey business. Anyone has the right to comment as you have said. Its seems so easy in Singapore to run scams. The steal money then run away and then register under a another company and get scot free. CASE, Commercial Crime, the Press all can't seem rto do anything. This travel scams have been around for so long, recently we had the education con, then Spa, what next..WE are known as fine city now they should add another fact scam city.

Glitterati Scam latest Nov 2011.
Got a call from this lady from Herald International based in Peoples Park #07-03 . She said that Herald was a "government assisted" company appointed to help settle cases involved in the time-share scam. She said they were handing out terminating documents to clients and no money was involved. She fixed an appointment for me to meet up with them. On Tues 15 i went to their office.
A Malay lady Farin who presented herself as a " legal assistant" greeted me. She said that she would be up front and lay all the cards on the table. Well and good. I gave her photocopied copies of Glitterati documents and gave her a brief overview of what i had done so far and also told here that I had my own lawyer. She asked why if I had my own lawyer did i come to Herald. It's simple. I was told that Herald was a government assisted company and they were handing out terminating letters.No money was involved .
My lawyer advised me to find out more without signing anything or making any commitments.
She asked for my IC but I said I wanted to know which government agency Herlad was connected too. She took my documents and said she had to consult her manager. Then after a few minutes another Malay lady came in with my documents. Can't remember her name and the whole process started again. This woman seemed to think that we the consumers owed something to the developers of the con job. We were at fault and Herald was doing us a "big favour"
I asked again which government dept was Herald connected with. She would not answer. I asked was there money that they wanted from me. She said that the money need to be paid to the developer and not Herald. I asked where was the developer based. In the Philippines ? She said yes and also in Singapore. I asked who were they. No answer. By the is time I knew that this was another con job this time using the association with ta government agency. I said no pont in talking any more tokk my documents and left. If you get a call from this company, don't waste your time.
Just an observation . I am not a racist . I am Indian myself. In Glitterati. all the people I saw there and there about 10, were all Malays. The 2 ladies in Herald were Malays too.

hi I am also received a call from Alliance capital as I am one of your member (victim) Last week. They are telling this shares will be selling to unprivileged people like singles, handicapped with less prices. whatever the amount they are selling will be paid to us and 10% will be taken by them as a service charge. I am happy to use for some one who are really unprivileged but how far its true is not clear. Looks we it used receive a call from some one once in 6 months with different companies
Actually what I want to know is that is there a real "Royalez Previliges" company exists?. If it is in Philippine, any of the Philippines friends can help us to find out. If so we can approach directly not with this middle men.

I have engaged Allianz Capital to refund my timeshare amount. However, this is another scam. They will ask you for more $$$ (over 10K SGD) during the claim process.
During the start of the claim, Allianz Capital engaged a lawyer to help us terminate our membership. They further congratulate us on the successful termination. However, five months down the road, my timeshare company wrote to us and demand for late payment. When we wrote back to the lawyer, there is no reponse.
Allianz Capital further claim that my fund is with Hutchison and Co. When I call up Hutchison company, they reckon that this is a scam.
If you have engaged them and feel that this is a scam, please report to police to build a stronger case for the police to capture these swindlers and prevent more Singaporeans falling into the trap.
I wonder why people whose $ has been cheated did not report to police?

Get Rid of Swindlers,
Did you go to the police? If yes, what was the outcome. I have also engaged Allianz Capital to sell my timeshare. I was asked to pay $10K (monthly installment). The lawyer sent a termination letter to ERI (timeshare company), which ERI replied that I need to pay $2000 termination fee. I disagreed and decide to stop the contract with Allianz Capital. The company agreed to pay me back my $10K but I need to pay the lawyer fee. I disgreed and when to CASE and even the Small Claims Tribunal. At SCT, the rep from Allianz Capital said they willing to pay the $2000 termination fee on my behalf in I proceed with my timeshare termination process. Any advise whether i should proceed?

Hi ts victim,

All i can say dat Allianz Capital wont be refunding you the $10k that you had paid to them. Pity for you u, unless u cancel the contract within the cooling off period then its fine but i guess the company is paying the so called bogus termination fee of $2000 is actually from your $10k that you paid to them initially. The bal $8k are for these scam ### of the company to spent on themselves especially the Boss(s). Go ahead with the cancellation in sct n Case...total scam company. Beware!
