Astar trying to get 998 dollar upfront for 7/6 day/night in florida + cruise 3days bahama/Las vegas Pampas Florida
" 2 travelle agents" phoned at 22.00 local time in Denmark. The first one" marketing man" (kenneth Bowen) is "selling" you the 85% discount for 4 adult seecruise for 998, and in a very high pitt voice giving you all the wonderfull details for your out off the blue "pick out democrafic price" you got. Then he redirec you to next guy in line for the practical details with the 18 mounths time to plan your travell in. (rember 45 day in avance in travel noticifacion)
The other one The travelagent "Enerst" is asking for your card nummer, and then he is telling you your card nummer, ciffer for ciffer, in order to convince you that this is not a hoax. He states that why should he phone from US and staying on the phone for an hour, knowing my card nummers in anvance, if it was a ripoff. "They" been in buisness for 17 years and have all the big time sponsers listet in the offer (Seeworld, Disneyland, cruise compagny ect.) I stated that I wanted a bit more information, than just "2 guys talking on the phone", and requsted a email with more information, which I got finally on my mail. I was then sendt back to kenneth bowen again, who provide me with a company adress; north florida avc.churtil zero, zipcode 33612. Then you are send back to Enerst, guy 2, who is very smooth and convincing. He tells you again that he need to send you down the line to the visaguy. He is waiting to verifie your creditcard and right now redrawn 998 dollar from your account/48 hour?.
Then he need the card exp.date, to verifer your card to the "visaman" waiting for you in line getting your creditcard information ?, and probely the 3 guy in line for getting the last 3 backsidenummers, which I wouldnt give/or got to. While we vere talking I did a google search and I was not able to find Astar, but fund a Astar hoxa report. I informed him, and He knew about the report, but stated that the man i this report never pay for the offer, and was an other kind of misfit person, and it was way back i 2005. I then told him that I needed to do some more checking up og I be back in a mounth to deside.He then hung up to give me some time og then to my surprise phoned again now talking with my wife instead. It all ended with a rawl and disconnextion, and with a treat to use up my creditcard instantly. I have of course close my creditcard a once, but I have a idee, that while we were talking, they were alredy using my card. I will known about that tomorrow,when the banks are open again. I do hope it is'n so,but...

I worked for astar for 5 months,they're a crooked company. The owner's name is Larry Flynn, he is a money grubbing dicknosed jew. Don't trust this company, be glad you didn't get ripped off. They don't have your credit card number. He probably tried to convince you by telling you the first 4 numbers on your visa are 4571. That is a tactic I used, nearly all Visa cards in Denmark that expire in 2012 begin with the first four numbers of 4571.
The trip is real, but its a terrible waste and you're not getting a good deal. Air transfer is not included, its very expensive. Don't waste your money with astar. They're a company of crooks.
