Ramada Plaza Resorts: Orlando / Ft. Lauderdale Vacations CONNED me into this vacation package! Need help before its too late! Fort Lauderdale Florida
hello! my name is kitana and i just recently recieved this mail, not only at my house, but my mother's house as well. i am currently engaged and was looking for a surprise vacation to take my fiance on.
niave enough i called in and by the time i gave my name and phone number to the operator, i realized that it was only one call per person. threfore, i had no tiem to think about it.
they crammed my head with all kinds of nice stuff and yes! i was facinated by it. i usually dont fall for this kind of stuff but when they crammed it into my head... they really conned me.
by the end of the conversaton ( a whole hour long of him talking), they asked for my credit card information to book the tickets. (they didnt even ask me if i wanted to book them, they jsut assumed or whatever)
i told them that i was plannin on a wedding and i dont have the kind of budget that they were asking for. so they let me speak with a manager and he agreed to make monthly installments of about $79.00. so i agreed.
then they told me that i would have to pay $85.00 for the introductory package that would be sent to me house for me to view with my fiance and plan out our dates.
dont get me wrong, i take trips around the world atleast twice a year and i love to travel.
just yesterday i was investigating on another company to see what kinds of scamms that they were up to and then i fell into this fantastic website. i found out a lot of informatuon about that company and quickly called to take my name & number off of their mailing & calling list.
so, i then seen the mail at my mothers house with the same information inside. a check for $16000 and a free ticket. (all in my name).
remembering this helpful website i looked up this company. come to find out there are more then 100 complaints and it awed me!
please help me! i want to stop them before they charge my credit card and im stuck! i am only 18 years old and i am being scammed! what can i do?
i cannot afford to lose this kind of money! especially with the wedding comming up...

Call this company back. If they insist on charging you or even if they say they'll stop, call your credit card company and tell them the situation and that you're being scammed. A verbal contract is not enforceable.
If they continue to charge you after you've told them to stop, then they are breaking the law. (I know it's true where I live and hopefully where you live too.) I too got the email and gave all my info, but when it said to call to activate and you needed a valid credit card, that's when I knew it was a scam. They called me last week and after he identified himself I told him I wasn't interested and hung up.
He called an hour ago and almost had my husband suckered. My hubby said he'd call him back and got on the net and found this site. Remember you get what you pay for and if you want a good deal you have to find it-it won't find you. Only scams will find you.
