Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Free travel offer

I filled out a slip at the mall for a “free Bahamas vacation for 2” for 4 days and 3 nights. I was texted a picture of the card I filled out and a message saying that I was recently contacted regarding this and to call (954) 477-6733 with extension 804 to hear a recording of the details. No mention of the company on the card or in the message. No website or names of anyone. I did not call the number but googled it and the first thing that came up was this website and someone reporting the exact same thing. The mall was also wrong - this was a mall in I the same city, but not the mall where I filled out the card.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare

My mother is an elderly person and suffers from mild dementia. On 6/13/2024 she called a Spanish radio station which had an advertisement about a free travel givaway. She had to answer a very simple question to win the prize, but she was told to provide her credit card number and was charged $408.24. On 6/20/2024, she received a letter with information about the payment and travel destinations. I called them on 6/20/2024 in the attempt to get a total refund but was told that a manager would call me the next day. He didn't call. I called again today. 6/24/2024, and I was transferred to the manger. He completely refused to refund the money. I explained to him that my mom has memory issues, and did not realize she was paying the $408.24 that she was charged. He said thar my mom sounded fine over the phone. I believe this person has done this to so many vulnerable people, and he should be stopped. At least people should have the option to get a refund if they wish to do so.

Employment - Remote Travel Employment Scam

I applied for an event coordinator position for this company and when I received an email from them it said Remote Travel Agent. I was confused but still I went along and checked what happened. I just went to their webinar and it's like “TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE” I thought I was gonna be attending a job orientation, and suddenly I was just shocked that I’m gonna be the owner of a travel agency The job is like all you have to do is book a certain booking or 1 travel package and just like that you get $500-$900. You get benefits as well such as a 90% discount on your travels. They even pay for your family trips. It's just too many benefits so again it's TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. I was wondering what the catch of all these.. and it's just the monthly subscription everybody on the webinar was like “interested joining..” are they even real people? They dont even have questions whatsoever

Online Purchase

I originally had a free travel benefit with NEA. I was contacted after my first trip to consider paying for a paid membership. It began with saying that after 6 months of a paid membership I would receive a travel resort credit for any resort around the world. However, after I paid my 6 months membership I went to view my resort credit and there were very few resorts to choose from. I told them I was misled because the agent told me I could go anywhere in the world and they told me that was incorrect. I canceled my membership. They continued to call and off more and more travel dollar amounts. I did return for a couple of months and saw it was just the same scam. I was able to access the free version again briefly. I was able to use the regular benefits for being a teacher. This benefit was always supposed to be accessible to me as it was for almost 2 years prior. Shortly after another agent contacted me about paying again for the elevated "benefits." I told him I am no longer interested in paying for their benefits. I have had countless calls (many recorded) with information varying from agent to agent about the program. I often spoke with my account manager who ensured me many times he would help with an issue I had at that time. The costs of travel would change drastically right before booking and I ended up paying way. more for my trip than originally stated. Always excuses why. He would me one part of information and the next time I talked to him it would be completely different. He always claimed there was no record of talking to me. I told him I had the conversations recorded and he would instantly try to take what he said back. After I denied the paid benefits this last time, my whole account was frozen. Even my free version. I have talked to Irvin 4 times since and each time he said he has told me that he has put in a request with his supervisors each time. Each time he tells me my account should be reactivated within 24-48 hours. Each time I call back he tells me the same nonsense. I first talked to him about this issue in June 6, 2023. It is now September 13, 2023. I stressed to my manager that I have the resort credit I paid $600 to receive and I would like to use it before it expires. I need my account to be reactivated before I can book this credit. However, they will not reissue my account. I also have "travel dollars" I have received as a result of my paid membership but I cannot access those either. I told them I would like a refund of my credit if they cannot provide me access to my account. They denied my request. If me credit expires, they said they will sell or auction my credit off. This is the biggest scam to get double the money for one resort credit. They are fully aware that I want to use it, but they will not let me. They are not sure how my account was locked in the first place. This is just lie after lie.

Employment

I was searching for Work From Home job online and I saw TravelwithSSS job offer to be a travel agent. I applied inputed my Full name, email address and contact number, and Shelly Steavens the owner texted me through my contact number about booking an interview. I did booked the interview and the next day did the meeting using Zoom, there was atleast 42 of us. The host person in the meeting wasn't Shelly but another lady. It took an hour for the meeting and at the end of the meeting, the host person told us to become Travel Agent from their business is to pay $69.95 monthly, 30 days training, once the training is done,host told us what we get like the Free Perks: 30 days maximum free cruise as travel agent, 10 days maximum free Disneyland Theme Park Ticket, free travel anywhere.Told us that if we think the job isn't for us there's 10 days money back guarantee. I didn't continue. Hearing that price monthly sounds like a fraud to me. I'm not sure if the people from the meeting did sign up or enroll, but I didn't. I hope that any Travel agent job offer or business will be accredited by BBB and not collect money to people who wants to get a job.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Travel Club

I'm a travel advisor and I recently attended the the Travel show at the Javits Center here in NYC. I was approached by Michael who was a representative based in New York City for Serenity Time, a vacation club he claimed had nothing to do with time shares. He explained if I liked saving money on travel and visiting 4 star properties at a fraction of the cost that I should join their upcoming zoom call to learn more. In exchange for attending this 90 minute presentation, Michael explained that I would be awarded a complimentary 5 day, 4 night vacation at one of their participating properties of my choice regardless if I decided to join the travel club or not less flight and food costs that I would be responsible for. But in order to secure my slot for the meeting I had to pay $40 deposit which he stated was completely refundable and would be issued back following the completion of the presentation. He also asked me to verify that I was 21 years or older, made at least 75k/yr, and had a working internet connection because I had to attend the presentation on desktop. He stated should I skip the presentation I would I forfeit the refund of the $40. I was a bit skeptical about paying the fee but agreed on the basis that it would be refunded and figured thats a small price to pay to secure my spot so I could cash in on the supposed "free vacation" he awarded me to Puerto Vallarta Mexico which was the location of his options I had chosen. He also said I would have one year from the time of receiving the promotion to book the vacation which was all paid for minus food and transportation to Mexico. The day of the zoom call I received a text from michael confirming my attendance as well as an email from his associate Barry Onody (who is apparently based in Seattle, Washington). I attended the zoom call where Barry outlined the company, its offerings, deals, etc. At the end of the meeting, Barry interviewed each of attendees individually to try and close the sale. First he stated the deal was $10,995 for lifetime access plus $149/yr "maintenance fee" that we could jump in and out with no back dues. He also had mentioned to the group a referral program in which we would be awarded free travel and compensation for signing friends up on the travel. When I spoke with him 1-1 and asked him questions, he explained the referral program doesn't pay in cash but simple in travel rewards. Additionally, he attempted to close the sale on "lifetime membership" to the club for $2,000 stating that normally the membership is higher b/c they throw in two "free" trips to Orlando and Cancun. But if I had no interest in taking either of those he would only charge me $2000 to join their club. Mind you, I would still have to pay for each stay on top of the 2k to join. I told him I'm not in a position to join today and wanted time to think about it. But I wanted to share the offer with my parents in case they were interested. But Barry stated my parents would have to sit in on a call in order to qualify. The days following the presentation I never received a follow-up with the promised "free 5 days/4 nights" trip to Puerto Vallarta. I also did not get my $40 refunded as promised. I followed up via email and text to Michael and Barry but did not hear back from either party. I have already proceeded to dispute the cc charge with my banking institution.
