USeasoned liars they were. We almost fell into the trap. They managed to sound very convincing. Luckily, good sense prevailed on me. It dawned later on my wife when we were outside.UBefore leaving I told the sweet-talking salesgirl bitch that I knew all along that we’d never get anything except that option C or whatever it was. Some payback for the lost 3 hrs or so.UIn my case, the scratch card offered a discounted stay in Goa. A non-transferable document. We didn’t go. The other ‘probable’ gifts on the platter were a camera etc. The idea was that they never gave you any tangible benefits of listening to their rigmarole. And yes, it was my wife who got us in the mess by accepting the auto ride to the hotel instead of continuing to stroll along the Dal Lake.UHoliday Club scamsters must be operating in many tourist destinations. I barely escaped one in Srinagar. They had their touts snagging gullible people on the road with scratch cards offering gifts. They would even pay the auto fare to take you to their office or whatever (in this case a very big hotel near Dal Lake), make you sit and listen to their castles-in-the-air offers just to get hold of your money. I recall a sweet-talking bitch spouting unlikely promises of discount on every air ticket to umpteen places per year. Her attitude changed as soon as we refused. Good riddance.
