GLOBAL EXCHANGE VACATION CLUB (GEVC)
1st Class Travel
125 E BAKER ST #120
COSTA MESA CA 92626

Sorry - already in Vegas for my birthday, no way I'm wasting 90 minutes of that on a timeshare seminar :D

Now this company goes by the name FLYHAWAII (or 1ST CLASS TRAVEL)... and uses the same modus operandi...

Please do not fall victim to these scammers...

Their number now is 1-888-299-2010 and lists its office at 125 East Baker Street Suite 120 Costa Mesa CA

same post card saying "in celebration of our anniversary"  for FLYHAWAII.  They used the 1-888-472-8027 number.

I got my card yesterday and was glad to see this blog about the scam.  The airline name they use now is FLYHAWAII which is an aborted airline company venture based in Hawaii.  I don't think they're realted

Thank you all for posting.  Received in the mail from 1st Class Travel, 125 E. Baker...also used airline name FLYHAWAII with a "complimentary Hawaiian vacation package" and says, this is a "real offer." Pure scam and glad I checked this website.

Thank you everyone that have posted all of these comments, my wife was really excited but I am the type that will research everything to the point and it did seem very fishy.

My mom received the flyhawaii/First Class Travel one too, which listed it as a celebration of its anniversary, and offered two tickets to Honolulu. We figured it was sketchy, but I checked here first just in case. It also uses the 125 E. Baker St. address but lists the number as 1-888-792-7258.

I got the same post card, "Happy Birthday!".  The funny thing - it's no where near my birthday!  Figured it's a scam.  Maybe we should report it to Joel Grover of NBC.

Received a birthday card stating call 1-888-472-8026 for two free roundtrip airfares within the continental U.S. and if your respond with 48 hours receive a complimentary 7 day car rental.  Will they stop at nothing.

I got the same "Birthday" card. I don't have the time, but if someone out there does, and wants to go after these guys, I noticed there is a postal permit number 3950 out of West Palm Beach, FL. Seems like the Feds could go after them for mail fraud if it is reported. . The other thing is to contact the airline company and/or car rental mentioned on the card and maybe they would want to chase down 1st class travel for using their logos illegally.

The number now is 1-888-299-1511. . . It is a "REAL OFFER" to get screwed. . . remember people. . . nothing in life is truly free but the choices you make . . . I hope you make the right choice here.

I received this mailing saying, ‘Aloha, THIS IS A REAL OFFER!’.  Right then I knew something is not right.  That is like a stranger coming to your door saying, “Ma’am open the door, you can trust me.  I will not hurt you”.  

I called anyway to see what kind of a game they were pulling.  At the same time I am online and found this website.  The rep “Tasha” asked me for the Ticket number on the form.  First she told me that I was the first caller.  Then she asked me for my name.  I asked her if she had already had the ticket number why she is asking for my name.  She should have that information already.  She stated another department does the mailing.  So I gave her a fake name, fake address, and fake phone number.  By the end of the call she forward me to someone that just confirmed my fake name, address and phone numbers to call me back.  

Stay clear from 888-299-6003, 1st class travel, and FlyHawaii.  Its a SCAM!!!!

Ya, they're still at it.  Got the "flyhawaii" free vacation offer.  No disclosure at all in the mailing that it's a time share sale.  LA times article on it here:

My husband recieved one of the cards I didnt kno what it was and either did he so he told me to call and find out what it was. So i called and they said it was a 90 minute presentation and we would recieve a 2 night 3 day vacation to honolulu hawaii and all we would have to pay is the $50 per person tax for the airline tickets. So is that so bad does anyone know where they put you up for those 2 nights? Or does anyone know if its a rip off?

Yeah I just got that card too. I'm not going to call after reading all of this. How can any travel company afford to give away this many trips. Thank you!

Apparently this "company" is still trying to lure people in. Got a postcard from them- this time it says FLYHAWAII as in the style of Aloha Airlines. Says they are out of 125 East Baker Street, Suite 120, in Costa Mesa, CA. Phone number is 888-299-1511. Thank you for all the other posts. Will obviously not respond.

I also got something in the mail today about a 2 round trip airfares to Honolulu, Hawaii, also came from 1st Class Travel, same address with you guys but this time it's a different phone# which is 1-888-299-1511.
I called the number and she said that 1st Class Travel is just a marketing company that they used and you have to attend a 90 minutes presentation. They are selling a vacation club and the presentation is in Woodland Hills and the name of the company is Global Exchange Vacation and she's claiming they have been in business for 20 some years. They are not going to give you the address unless you make an appointment.
This is all the information i want to share. and I don't know how real is the deal.

Now the company calls itself Ultimate Vacations with the same address

I got the same card but the number on my card is1-228-233-8089, and they said that their location was in Biloxi, Ms... I did call and the first thing they ask for is do you own a debit or credit card. .. I knew right then and there it was a whole bunch of bull, so if you see this number or recieve the same postcard for 3day 2night stay in Las Vegas, Nevada or any where in the Continental U.S jUST BEWARE ITS A SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!!!!!!!!
