888-279-8811

This involves the offer of "free" roundtrip airfare on Southwest Airlines from "1st Class Travel" in Costa Mesa, CA.

Other people have reported similar solications from 888-299-6003 offering tickets to Hawaii on United Airlines.

There is ample reason to believe that this company is acting in a fraudulant manner.  There is no "First Class Travel" listed at 125 E. Baker Street in Costa Mesa, CA.  In addition the bulk mail permit number is issued in West Palm Beach FL.  (Others have reported the mail permit being from Tampa, FL.)

Clearly those behind this "deal" are moving around.  My advice is STAY CLEAR of this scam and DO NOT give these people ANY information on you.

Now First Class Trave has a new toll free 1-888-792-7258.

I received a postcard from 1st class travel on 1/20/08.  It claims that in celebration of my birthday that my name and ticketing # have been identified and issued.(whatever that means) Southwest is printed at the top, but the small print says this promotion IS NOTaffiliated with Southwest Airlines.    mail permit from West Palm Bch, FLA   1  888 277 2089                   address given : 125 Baker St     Costa Mesa, CA

I got the same postcard for 2 roundtrip airfares.  Woman named Janna answered and wanted me to answer questions.  I told her I'd call back and she gave me this # 1-800-655-9247.  From same address as well

Got a postcard: "Vacation Invitation Southwest" at the top and then:  "hello...and pack your bags! In celebration of you birthday....two roundtrip airfares...." In fine print at the bottom is a disclaimer that they not affiliated with or sponsored by Southwest Airlines.  This is probably a scam.  BEWARE!

one more thing, the phone # on the post card is 888-279-8811

I also received a post card which says that "in celebration of yourhday you are verified as of 04/04/09 and as a result you will receive two roundtrip airfares to anywhere in the Continental US".  Call within 72 hours.  Clearly a scam.  Everybody just stay away from these people.

I got the same birthday postcard too.  It just screamed scam to me.

I also got the same birthday postcard today.
"Vacation Invitation US Airlines" at the top.
The rest are almost same as Marie's.

The bulk mail permit number is issued in West Palm Beach FL.

The toll free number on the card is
1-888-277-2089.

What a scam.  1st Class Travel; 1-888-279-8811 is a bogus operation which seeks victims; part of The Evil Empire.  AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!!!

Do not participate!  Do not give out any personal data! This is a SCAM!!

Anything Free is too good to be true. So, I googled about it and found this site.

I have received a birthday postcard. It has "Vacation Invitation US Airlines" on top. Details: Two roundtrip airfares to Anywehere in the Continental U.S. Toll free number is 1-888-279-8811.

But now the airline listed is American with a Thrifty car rental (but as before say they are not sponsors), the phone number is 1-888-300-5319. Same address, and the Tampa mailing permit

Seems like maybe the postal inspector ought to know

Also got a postcard from these people, only now they have a new number and the carrier is American Airlines. They must have gotten heat from Southwest Airlines and changed up for a while.

Free RT airfare for 2 to Honolulu.

Phone # 1-888-299-1511
Return address is the one in Costa Mesa, CA

Don't these people know about Google? :)

Got one today, I wonder who they got my info from?

Here is the FCC's website where you can file complaint against unwanted solicitors.
https://esupport.fcc.gov/form1088/consumer.do

Just scan the document(s) (post card, fax, letter, etc), into pdf format, and save it on your desktop. at the end of the FCC's Form 1088 there is a provision to send them the scanned doc's.
FCC DOES FOLLOW ON IT - THEY DON'T IGNORE YOUR EMAIL. I recommend to use this site.

That is what I am going to do with card received in the mial.

Unfortunately the FCC is only interested if they called or faxed you. I got the same postcard and am trying to find some way to get the USPS interested. They will be the ones to investigate now that they are using the mail to initiate contact.

This link is to an FTC web site that permits filing of complaints about customer fraud.

Lets all give it a try.

SCAM ALERT! SCAM ALERT! Now they are advertising on behalf of US Airlines... ugh, US Airlines does not exist =) atleast, they could have used US Airways...they're such losers!
