Complaint Review: DIRECT SAVERS

We went to the Hyatt Hotel in Sarasota, FL last April for a talk about a buying furniture, cars, etc. at a discount by purchasing direct from the makers.  If we listened to the talk we would get "Complimentary 2 free round tips airline tickets (includes base airfare within the US) and dinner for two at any Darden Restaurant. Allowing 2-4 weeks for delivery.  That was 6 months ago!

This gives them time to cash the $29 check they requested for "processing."
The check was to be made out to:  DIRECT SAVERS  which was cashed by FLORIDA LEASURE PRODUCTS in another city in Florida!  The talk was to be about obtaining furniture, items, etc. as a discounted cost; however, it seems it was really a travel agency.  Or, so it seems.   Because we didn't sign a contract that day to BUY anything, we were told we could not buy the contract later, but they needed $29 to cover expenses for processing our airline tickets, dinner coupon, whatever.

I was surprised to see the same company was reproted two years earlier than our talk on April 1. 2009.   I GUESS THIS WAS OUR "APRIL FOOLS" REWARD!
$29 is not going to break me, but how do crooks like this continue to do it over and over again in other cities??
