800-960-6130

Got a card in the mail with some teaser offer of "2 round trip airfairs to anywhere in the continental USA and a 3 day/2 night hotel stay.  No indication of any connection with any particular airline or hotel.

No information at all on who this is from, or what they are selling.  
Supposedly, "this is not a timeshare or land sale offer".
"Permit No. 4848 Los Angeles CA" appears to be some bulk mailer, as it shows up in Google associated with a bunch of unrelated companies.

Assumed to be a teaser to get people to call back so they can telemarket to them, getting around the Do Not Call prohibitions, or maybe so they can sell the numbers to other telemarketers.

Alternatively, card might be cover for cold calls in violation of the Do Not Call laws.
Caller id is showing a call today from "Unavailable", with no message left.

Form of address suggests they are mailing based on purchased mailing lists originating from county property records.

Looks like they have been around for a while.  
Allegedly, they have a history of putting airline logos on their cards without permission of the airlines.
It appears to be a lure for some hard sell "travel club" pitch.

Free Air Travel Getaways Postcards: Don’t Believe It
October 12, 2011
By Ct ConsumerProtection
Consumer Protection Commissioner William M. Rubenstein is alerting consumers today about postcards that seemingly offer free air travel getaways, that have been landing in Connecticut consumers’ mailboxes recently.

The promotional postcards (samples attached) include images of airplanes and feature in large type the names and identifiable logos of Delta or Southwest Airlines, yet these post cards are from travel companies that have no relationship to the airlines. The cards advise recipients that they’ve been “selected” to receive “2 Round Trip Airfares” and hotel lodging, and direct them to a toll-free number for more information. In states where similar promotions have been offered, consumer complaints indicate that the offer is really a gimmick to get recipients to sign up for a pricey travel club or website subscription.


If you get a card like this, forget it
“We are concerned that these promotions could lure consumers into believing that they are going to receive a free trip and hotel stay with no strings attached, when apparently, that is not the case at all,” Rubenstein said.  “The fine print on the cards indicates that “certain restrictions apply,” and according to complaints from consumers in other states where these promotions have run, the conditions often become clear when it’s too late to change one’s mind.”

One promotional postcard received by a Connecticut consumer last week featured the Southwest name, logo and an airplane photo, and advised the recipient that they were selected to receive two Southwest tickets and a “BONUS 3 DAY, 2 NIGHT HOTEL STAY.” The card directed the recipient to a toll-free number for more information.

Upon calling, the recipient was told they had reached Berkshire Concepts, a new travel agency in the area. The caller was then offered airline tickets on Delta or Southwest for two people, valid for one year, and a bonus hotel stay.  However, in order to “qualify,” the caller was required to answer questions about their income, marital status and age, and was told they must attend a 90 minute presentation at a hotel location in Windsor, Connecticut, at selected times this week or next at the Hyatt Summerfield Suites in Windsor.

Consumers in other states who have attended similarly-promoted presentations report that they encountered hard-sell tactics encouraging them to join a travel club costing thousands of dollars, and that if and when they finally received their air travel voucher, they learned that they had to pay taxes and fees of $100 per person or more. In addition, many travel dates were blocked, and travel “restrictions” included a requirement to fly out on a Monday or Tuesday and return that Thursday.

The Department also learned of similar cards being received in Connecticut featuring the Delta name, and offering a similar deal and instructions, including attending a presentation at selected times this week or next at the same hotel in Windsor.

“We have confirmed that Southwest and Delta airlines are not affiliated whatsoever with these offers,” Rubenstein said.  “We are alerting consumers that these offers require careful scrutiny and consideration.”

The Department of Consumer Protection urges any consumer who has received a promotional air travel postcard and is thinking about attending an informational presentation to be wary and avoid signing up for a travel club they do not want or cannot afford.

“As always, if a deal seems too good to be true, it’s usually not true,” Commissioner Rubenstein said.

I just got one today with the same message and American airlines on the front lol.  

I just got one today (in Maryland) with the same message and American airlines on the front.  

I just received a card today ( New York ). After reading the previous posts the card went tothe recycle bin.

Just got one "From American Airlines." If I call within 48 hours I get a free hotel stay but how do they know if I called within 48 hours? Is mail fraud a Federal Offense?

Just received card in today's mail with Jet Blue on cover. Figured it had to be a scam.

I got one today saying it was from Marriott, also promising free flight/hotel & hotel gift card if I call 1-800-960-6130.  Presumably a scam.

I received the same card with Jet Blue on the advertising its junk!

I got a card today notifying me that I won an Android 4.0 touchpad tablet.  I must call within 72 hours to claim the tablet, and if I call within 48 hours I get a 3 day accommodation and 2 airfare vacation. Android logo is prominently on the card. Phone number is 800-960-6130.  Pre-sorted first class Las Vegas Permit No 2736.

As the others mentioned above... I received a card today (North Carolina).  This is a total scam.
