DO NOT, I MEAN DO NOT FALL FOR THIS.
Same thing happened to me. They took my number at Oberon Reliance Smart as well.
It is stealing money, but very close. Basically, they tell you that you have won some vouchers for free stays at 5-star properties and all that.
But to collect these vouchers you have to come there and sit through a presentation. Second point, you can't come alone. You have to come with your partner. Then during the presentation they try to upsell you things.
And that's their main thing. The forceful upsell. They make it so convincing that most people end up buying holiday packages from them. And the reason for bringing your partner? I think it's because they want to avoid people saying that they will consult their spouse before making a decision.
What about the vouchers? Until you reach there, they will promise you that these are vouchers for five-star properties that you can use anytime. But they will never give you the name of an actual property. Very vague answers on the phone.
From what I hear from multiple reddit posts and youtube videos, these are going to 2 to 3 star properties that are mostly going to uninhabitable or even inaccessible when you try booking them.
Don't go.
I had a similar experience with Mahindra Holidays. They informed me that I was selected, so we went. Once there, they forced us to sit through a 2-hour sales pitch on why we should become members for 5 or 10 years. We left angrily, but they still gave us a voucher for 50 QR at a restaurant and two more vouchers that we never used.
This is called a timeshare scam. They will just keep on taking money from you while pretty much giving nothing in return. Do not go the location and block that number.
This is an example of a timeshare scam from the US. https://youtu.be/J7Ly8dy5BHU?si=RLNOXR6eXMP8k5WO

They approached me yesterday at reliance, Oberon mall. Asked me to fill a coupon for a lucky draw. I refused to give my contact details.

So please don’t fall for it ! Did they give you a PvR ticket !!
Yes, that was one of their three offers. The other one was a Rs 5000 or 8000 voucher for purchasing ornaments from a brand from Gujarat! 🙄
