Dear Sir/Madam,

I have been to Dubai invited by the The First Group and that was an experience tour and was also our wedding anniversary. We paid for the package again to come to Dubai this year to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary again in Dubai which will be on the 17th March. As you can see the membership will expire on the 16th march we are asking for extension for extra 2 days.

Taken as Hostage
February 2, 2024

I was told a lie that First Group will take us to Palm Island where you have to take photo with the First Group Hotel as part of publicity. Nothing like that First Group made me and my 2 kids hostage and didn't let us leave the office until.we sign the contract. I was hostage of First Group for 6 hours.
I will make sure that I will report this scam to UAE authorities

Strange talk?
January 31, 2024

I was told totally different things at the first approach with the company rep than took place on actual meeting. In addition it took crazy amount of time to get simple info out. I asked several times to get facts out and to be send to my email. I dont like to force feeding. As on investor I like to get clear facts out and not to deal with the people who try to sell investment property like vacation club.

False advertising
January 29, 2024

Firstly we were told that we go for a presentation after that we have dinner and 2 night accommodation. We for there and they gave us the presentation and it was fine. But they wanted us to sign immediately I don't know them. I can't pay money based on what they tell me and without doing research. I felt they false advertises the prises so that we can go to their offices. I was not happy with that.
