Quote from BBB

<Most complainants allege services and contracts are misrepresented, deceptive and misleading. Specifically, complainants allege they were to receive 2 free airline tickets to Hawaii or Las Vegas, all accommodations paid, if they attended a 90 minute presentation. After attending the presentation, customer’s allege they are unable to get the airline tickets and are told they will be responsible for taxes. Other complainants allege they receive harassing phone calls from collection agencies for services never rendered and already paid in full. The company responds to most complaints by advising complainants that all paperwork concerning their sales transaction was presented at the time of the sale. Most refund requests are denied based on the requests being received past the 7 days allowed in the contract. The company addresses complaints regarding inability to use promotional vacation certificates, by assisting the complainant in making travel arrangements, or offering clarification on the terms of their travel certificates. Allegations concerning verbal misrepresentations are generally not addressed.>

Got this in the mail:  Fly a US Airline.....Congratulations on your birthday..... You will receive Two Roundtrip Airfares Within the Continental U.S.!  Call us immediately for details (we didn't) 1-888-472-8030 M-F 8am-7:30pm.....ended with Thrifty Car Rental.  On the fake "travel itinerary sample"  It said Travel Provider: 1st Class Travel 125 E. Baker Street Suite 120  Costa Mesa, Ca 92626.  I googled the address and company many people said they are a scam!! DO NOT give ANY personal info to these people!!!  FAKE SCAMERS

i just got the same flier ... wishing me a happy birthday and then offering the same ...

I got pretty much the same thing....but they only offered me Coach Class.  Guess times are touch all around.

I got this item in the mail also. What good is our goverment in stopping this. NONE!

Also got the Happy Birthday card in the mail that promised me two round trip tickets (only coach, alas) within the continental U.S. It's so sad that some people will believe this and be disappointed or ripped off.

Received that same "Happy Birthday" flyer mentioned above. So tricky and I could see where someone wouldn't really pay attention and fall into the trap.

I received a flyer today congratulating me on my birthday, letting me know I was verified and WILL receive "two round trip airfares on US Airlines within the continental U.S.!

They also indicated I would receive a complimentary 7 day car rental with Thrifty car rental.  

Based on what I have read I will not call and would recommend they flyer be discarded.

These scammers are at it again; my DH just got a letter in the mail, saying he'd won 2 continental u.s. roundtrip airfares on US Airlines, and should call 888-472-8030 for details.  It also said if he responded in 48 hrs (from when?? it's a letter!) he'd get a free 7-day car rental from Thrifty.  The company claims to be "1st Class Travel" at "125 E. Baker Street, Suite 120, Costa Mesa CA 92626", but the mailing is from a service in West Palm Beach FL.

If it smells like Spam, it's SPAM.

Yesterday (9/16/09) I received a 1st class postcard (with a picture of three very nice balloons on the front -- guess they think I'm an airhead) saying I was "verified" to receive two airfares anywhere in the US.  Gosh I got a reservation number and everything!  In two seconds, I'd already planned a fabulous trip back east.  Well as they say, If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.  Guess I'll get back on the turnip truck and stay home.

Received the same thing today. Hello shredder...here I come. Ha!

I got the same B-Day card, airline tickets,7 day car rental, etc. I believe this about as much as the money that I will get for cashing checks from Nigeria. If these A-wholes (and I mean they are a complete one!) would put their efforts into diseases, or, World Peace, every thing could be fixed in 2-3 weeks. That would be great! Until then I hope your familys are proud of what you do to people. I also hope someone prays on your parents or, Grand parents trust funds that were setup for you. You realy should go out and see how a forest is destroyed to make paper you waste for this xxxx, with any luck a tree will fall on you, (a much better use of a tree if it must be wasted)!

Received by mail a birthday card offer from US Airlines for two RT airlines in US.  Asked to contact 1-888-472-8030.  If responded within 48 hours, 7-day car rental will be free.  There's a reservation number and asked me to contact the above number.  This happened after a t-share presentation at Shell Vacation Club in Napa, CA.  Evidently, my identity was either got sold or captured by some crooks.

Ditto on the whole fake birthday card thing. Should be illegal to send false and/or misleading information via the US Mail. Why doesn't US Airways and Thrifty Car Rental sue them also? There isn't a "US Airlines" but there is a "US Airways" and there is a "Thrifty Car Rentals". Seems like their copyright rights are being violated also. There is too much information in their presentation that is false and inserted solely with the intent of misleading people. Obviously less capable individuals are being cheated by this scam or it would not exist.

Who knows how to stop it?
PS - I called the number - they immediately wanted all kinds of personal information. When I said I would be single - they declined any further communications saying it was for couples only! - Is that legal in California?

I got this exact same flyer-thanks for posting this scam!!!

I received the very colorful Happy Birthday flyer you all received offering two round trip airfares within the continential us.  SCAM, SCAM, SCAM...how are they obtaining our mailing addresses?  Travel Provider:  1st Class Travel, 125 E. Baker Street, Suite 120, Costa Mesa, CA  92626, but mailed from West Palm Beach, FL.  Also states that if you respond within 48 hours, you will also receive a complimentary 7 day car rental from Thrifty Car Rental. This is akin to telemarketing via mail...how are they getting away with this?

Same as above,e.i birthday card with "Fly A US Airline" and a fake boarding pass.

Did somebody actually call and follow the steps to have a ticket?

this sounds so fishy it's not funny...

Thanks to all of you who posted the information - I got the usual birthday card with the promise of two airline tickets AND free car for a week.  Would love to call them and buzz them but won't.  It sure would be nice if just once we could receive a legitimate offer!

Great work - I just google the phone number nowadays to see how many scammer hits these type of things have already engendered.  
FYI - The Happy Birthday wording does NOT say FREE for the airline ticket. It doesn't say "US Airways" -it says a US Airline. Nothing in here says FREE.

They are careful not to do things like that although they do use Thrifty's logo.  So - you should contact Thrifty and ask them why they are helping a clear scammer.  Anyone want to bet if Thrifty knows or cares who rents cars from them?

They should have their merchant credit card account frozen if people are scammed but they fight like heck with the credit card vendors when there are complaints.
