promise a trip a unbelievable low price
399$CAN 9d8n florida + cruise

Corporate Travel Departement ??6

last year we had the same package & it is timeshare They have a reunion after the first day that we arrived there
we had no choice to buy they where a pain & we could not get the other tickets for the rest of the trip included Nassau & Fort Lauderdale Hotel
so we had to buy a contract that cost us 943.00$ + the 798$ that we already paid + air fare tickets  Montreal to Orlando
No bargain there!

Continue to get faxes after repeatedly entering our # on their automated list to be removed from their database. They are from "Travel Center" and the # sent from shows as UNAVAILABLE on my call display.

The # given to call to be removed is 1-866-486-9743. Ha! Fat chance. The # given to purchase tickets is 1-800-832-4670. I have called that # as well & demanded that they remove me from their database. Ha!!! (She said again...) FAT CHANCE!!!!

Promised $399 florida holiday, called in to remove from fax list

I also received a fax from them today.

I always get faxes for cheap vacation packages.

Are these legit?

**I was referred to this number by an auto dialling machine machine that left a message on my voice mail 213-363-5183.**

I get these callers 3 times a day starting at 11 am eastern.  I've complained to the RCMP and the CRTC in Ottawa.  Nothing can stop these guys from calling.  They use different numbers each time they call.  Two weeks ago the calls were coming from area code 353, last week it was area code 208, this week it's area code 213.  These people are not legitimate.  Callers will say that they are calling about political donations, car warranties, credit consolidation, or free vacations.  Today this call is about free vacations (if you notice the earlier postings for this number they called about car warranty).  These are not real companies.  What they want is your credit card number to steal your card or to steal your identity.  DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION.  Unfortunately, these calls will not stop unless you change your phone number or the police catch up with them.  My phone company told me the police are trying to find them, as they are bothering thousands if not millions of customers around North America.

I don't answer phone calls from American area codes anymore... I let my voice mail to up the message and just delete it.  Today's message was this;

"Hi this is Gordon with the Travel Centre/Center.  You've been selected to receive 5 days and 4 nights in Orlando Florida (near Disney World), plus 3 days and 2 nights in Fort Lauderdale Florida plus an all-inclusive Bahamas Cruise with cabin, meals and entertainment for only $399.00 Canadian.  This trip has a retail value of over $2900.00.  The confirmation for your invitation is "offer ***" and you need to call the Travel Centre/Center in the next 24 hours at 1-800-832-4670.  Call as soon as possible so you can enjoy your Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and Bahamas dream vacation.  Thank you."

Last week the calls were about a vacation to Cancun Mexico.  The week before they were giving consolidation loans for credit cards.  The week before that it was mortgage loans.  These crooks are very careful to target the right sort of ad for Canadian area codes (such as mine).  They never do the political donation calls to Canadians... because they know no one will respond.  However I've seen postings from others for the same number that called me, asking for political donations.  I think this company rotates the ads depending on where they are calling and who they are calling.  

It's very possible these crooks are using a computer and a Skype account to do all this calling... so it hardly costs them anything.  Plus it's impossible for the police to track them down, as they change their numbers almost daily.  It possible these criminals are in another country like Nigeria, or Romania of where ever!

DON'T GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION AND NEVER RESPOND TO THEM!

What do you mean you had no choice to buy. What happened when you arrived in Florida? So what they are promising is not a 9 day 8 night vacation seeing as you could not get the tickets for the rest of the trip? Just wondering because I received a fax this morning and my husband was inquiring but I had a feeling that there's some sort of catch? Any more details you can give would be very helpful.

we get faxes 2 or 3 times a week, always for trips.  I have never responded to them, and was looking up the number to find out who they are, when I found this site.  It seems my suspicions are more than justified.

If calling to get taken off the fax list won't work (according to one responder above), we'll just continue to put the paper in the recycle paper tray in the photocopier.

I just received a fax from them today as well.  The way I look at is...if it's too good to be true, it is!  I believe, as other people have noted, that this is a timeshare scam!!! Don't do it!

Can I find you on the web?

I receive the same fax a few times a week. I just put it in the recycle bin because it looks to good to be true.

This is a time share scam company.
I just fell for it and lost $798.
You live and learn.
If anyone knows how to get the money back please advise

TIME SHARE SCAM
TRAVEL CENTER ORLANDO FLORIDA USA
SPECIAL OFFER FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL TO SAY ‘THANK YOU’.


I just fell for a time share scam and lost $798.

The company faxes a 70% discounted holiday offer.  I rang the ‘Corporate Travel Department’ on 1 800 832 4670.  I said I was in the Army with DND and a Ms Linda Shear (SIC) said this was a ‘special offer for military personnel to say ‘thank you’’.  The holidays were from another company that had used them as bonus and incentives, but had not used them all.  The Travel Center was therefore selling them on at Admin cost only, reduced from $2600 to $399 per adult.  They said the special offer had sold like hotcakes and that only 2 were left.

I discussed at length what the holiday included: 8 nights accommodation, tickets for Disney Land, and an all inclusive cruise to the Bahamas.  I was told that as the firm was passing these tickets on at no profit, they could not be refunded.  There then followed a lot a spiel about how you could sell the package on, or transfer parts there of, to friends etc.

I fell for the hard sell and agreed to buy 2 adult tickets.  I was passed to the accounts department, a Mr William Lopez, who repeated (from a script) the salient points, including the non refundable payment.  This conversation was recorded 1800 326 1092.

Subsequently (5 days later) I found 2 faxes on different machines within my place of work, a DND HQ.  The same package was offered for different prices.  I  rang the company and got disjointed responses.  Only then did I go on line and check!  The web is awash with details of this Time Share Scam.

They use substandard accommodation in Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and a cruise ship to the Bahamas, just read the appalling reports:  

Fort Lauderdale Ramada Plaza Hotel & Resort
Imperial Majesty Regal Empress

I paid on my CIBC visa and have filed a report to CIBC Visa who are investigating.
However they have said that as I offered my card details, it is highly unlikely that I will get my money back.

I have sent 2 recorded letters to the Company, within the stipulated 10 days of purchase, demanding my money back.  But the Web says no one receives any rebate.

I am saddened that the Credit Card Company is not more actively trying to prevent this situation from affecting others.  However this scam has been in effect for 4 years and the Travel Center Orlando must have found a loop hole in the law to keep trading so long.

BE WARNED !

I gave my home phone number as a fax number when I enrolled somewhere ( cant remember to who ) since I expected an immediate fax response.  The must have sold it to a contact list and I had calls fax calls day and night.  It has taken a year to block all except the Travel Center at 1800 832 4670.  I have called that number as well as the 1866 253 5071 number numerous times - and as someone commented "fat chance" to get off the lost.  If I knew what their fax number was I could block it but the live people you talk to give me incorrect info.  

They are registered as a seller of travel - Reg. No ST36267.  Does that mean something?

Has anyone got off the list yet.
