ETourandTravel ETourandTravel.com, Evacationflorida.com, Shane Robert Bornemann Employee In Orlando Florida ripoff, internet/phone scam, don't accept offers, credit card theft, identity theft, vacation scam, fraud Orlando Florida
We received their "free" ticket offer for Universal Studios after signing up on www.eversave.com, a coupon website. Someone called us about the tickets and tried to offer us a vacation package for $298. His name was Shane Robert Bornemann.
The offer sounded good, so we accepted, however, when they put someone on the line to "verify" what we had purchased, her story didn't match what Shane said we would get. We no longer trusted this guy and told him we wanted a cancellation.
We received the cancellation, but this guy kept our credit card info and on Sunday morning, tried to withdraw $500 from a western union, pretending to be my boyfriend! We have since pressed charges with the Orlando police, this guy has other chrages of credit card fraud which he is in court next week for.
This whole business and all of its employees are unreputable, they have been unhelpful in our case, they are a total scam. They even call claiming to be affiliated with Universal Studios, which is a complete lie. Universal Studios is NOT affiliated with etourandtravel.
Save yourself the headache and JUST SAY NO! I wish we had!

So, I get this call tonight from some guy who sounds like he's calling from his cell phone at a party. He tells me that I won 2 tickets to Universal studios, and a 4 day 3 night vacation package in Florida. He gives me this site www.evacationflorida.com and then proceeds to tell me that I would be put up in the Sheraton for these 4 days and 3 nights and get two tickets to universal studios as well as another 3 days in Daytona, and 2 days in some other ocean front property. Then he tells me I can get it all for only 99.99 and that it would cover a weeks rental of a car from Enterprise with unlimited mileage. So I go and look up the site he sent me to and at the top of the list was about 25 different sites all claiming these guys were scammers and rip-offs..
After listening to this guy's pitch, informing him that I wasn't interested, and then explaining to him that I don't give my credit card out on the phone, he asked me when he mentioned a credit card. I Informed him of my search results and his rebuttal was "Well, anyone can say anything about anyone on the internet. I'm sure there are people out there Saying bad things about Walmart!" He asked me if I was going to trust what "someone said" on the internet. I informed him that, after reading the basically same things over and over again from 12 different sources, citing phone number they were calling from (his was one of them) and basically everyone trying to warn others about them. Hell yes. He thanked me for losing out and hung up.. In this case, I'm fairly sure he was the loser.

It's not that Universal Studios isn't affiliated with them, it's that Universal HAS to say they're not affiliated because otherwise EVERYONE is going to be looking for etourandtravel for discount vacations. etour only contacts specific consumers, that's why there's no advertisements and no commercials for them. It's called an insider deal.
