My fund was transfered by mistake and it shouldn't be deducted.Amira sent a requested copy of half to me now which I didn't trust 100% because we have been on this refund since November. So you need to look into this.You can not take what is not yours.
This fund is mine, I am not your customer.I have never stepped in your office so why are you playing smart on my money.This is ridiculous.
I need my full refund please.
A big company like this should always protect its repetition.
I will come back to share my story again.

ORDER RECEIVED
October 6, 2021

Riham was quite patient with me throughout the process. I did however, express my displeasure in the beginning when it seemed as though I was being pressured into jumping on board. I think that if TFG allow potential clients a little time to think through the offer, they'll have a much better success rate.

Warning - they'll say anything to make a sale
January 24, 2025

We were first caught by TFG on arrival in Dubai airport. We agreed to go on a tour with them which didn't turn out to be a tour, just a trip to their sales office, and then the sales bombardment began! The sales team were extremely friendly and accommodating and sold us the Dubai Lifestyle Experience package by assuring us that there were no restrictions for booking the accommodation and excursions - this was important to us as this was our first visit to Dubai and we knew we would not be able to return any time soon. They only share the detailed T&Cs after you've paid and when we contacted them to try to book the accommodation they said that it had expired!
They took our money under false pretences, very unethical sales tactics.

Investing remotely is not an easy decision or task
September 23, 2022

Investing remotely is not an easy decision or task. That's what I did with TFG. When I ask for help, no matter what, Yacine and Aymen answer all my questions. I have never been so comfortable and well-treated because I feel so good. I will visit you at the end of the year to enjoy my stay in Dubai.

Great time!
December 20, 2023

We had our jet ski tour today. We had a great time. Our group leader, his name is Stalin, was attentive and fun. He took great pictures of us in front of famous resorts. We rented two jet skies. Very happy with company.

It was promised that there are no black out dates!
November 22, 2023

It was promised that there are no black out dates!
Also I should be able to use my days when I need it, not all in a row.
Please contact me to discuss (maybe I will split the days)
It was promised that I can choose the hotel as I would like (not set my priority and take what is a left over)

Mr. Kamal Patel LED-******* approached us to express his gratitude towards our services and the arrangements as well as he gave positive feedback of the desert safari experience. He did mention Thierry at the concierge was of great assistance and made their stay in Millennium Place memorable and he will be visiting Dubai again in a couple of months for a business trip

Had a lovely experience with The First Group team. Really enjoyed all the communication, from the initial contact to the contract signing. What I appreciate the most is constant support and readiness to help, whatever issue I have. Im yet to see the financial results, but Im sure I wont be disappointed. Really thankful for the kind help!

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.

Confused marketing approach
September 27, 2023

Very bad experience. On the mall I was asked for my time for demonstration of new project which is excellent investment opportunity. On acceptance I was taken to another office by car and there a lady started marketing of a seven night hotel voucher woth 60 percent discount.with a push that this discount is only for this moment.I felt disgraced because marketing was very sub standard. Then I was taken back to emirates mall without telling me a single word about the project

I was promised by your personnel that I will be able to book by September 1, and the prices were 1000 pounds lower than now. I had to wait until today to confirm my hotel dates to proceed with my tickets booking.

THE FIRST GROUP
December 16, 2016

I purchased a office space from The First Grout in the solo, The Bridge, Sports City for 100k with a expected return of 7000 to 10,000 per year. It has been rented out for 3 years now and my return is 700.00 per year. TFG say that this is the best return that they can give on this even with Regus managing it. To me it looks like all the rent is going on fees and charges. They offered to buy it back at my purchase price it I invested into one of their hotels. What can I do about this? Its a bad investment for me and the other Solo investors. Would you invest in a company that promised that and delivered this?
