A Private Social Club in London was approached by a Mr. Minesh Vohra of Mini's Guest List minisguestlist .com who claimed to be able to provide "A-list" guests for a party in March as he purported to have a contact subscriber A-list of over 11, 680 active "jet-set" party and night club consumers. The price for a mail shot was negotiated down from 50p an Email address to 10p, in exchange for extensive Internet advertising, and 12 complementary guests at the next Party Club event.
The mail shot was allegedly sent and fewer than 20 responses were obtained that were attributable to Mini's Guest List, of these fewer than five booked and no paying guests attended from his guest list. Mr. Vohra attended the party, which was well received, appeared impressed with the product and was interested in further involvement. Mr. Vohra signed a written agreement to sell tickets printed via his contact which were commissioned via original art work produced by the Private Social Club and sent to Mr. Davis four weeks in advance of the next Party in April. In essence the tickets were to be sold at 50 commission from each 150 ticket circulated to his guest list. Despite the month's advanced agreement, a mailing list was not apparently notified until the week before the Party (Saturday 16th April), the cards for sale never materialised in presentable form, contracted meetings did not take place, limousines arrived to pick up guests at pre-scheduled and pre-advertised locations which were not there, celebrity models promised in writing by Mr. Vohra did not materialise, a written commitment to supply party hostesses was unsatisfied, Mr. Voresh disappeared unexpectedly to India two weeks before the party, and his model associate and Vice-President of Mini's Guest List took over for the final two weeks. The Vice-President was incommunicado from 6pm on the Monday preceding the party to Wednesday at 6pm as she was at the Silverstone racing circuit until her day off, the contracted meeting on Friday did not materialise, and no guests or representatives from Mini's Guest List materialised in any shape or form, nor indeed did any individual discussed with agents or representatives of Mini's Guest List.
The Party lost some 4, 000 in labour, overheads and costs, and the Vice-President was unrepetent, scoffing and dismissive, and no explanation or apology has been received. At the party in March Mr. Voresh, popularly known as "Mini" scoured the party for E-mail addresses from almost all who were attendant, regardless of their means or social status.
