Trendsetters Curacao offers travel packages to Curacao for vacations, Carnival and various musical events.  They demand payment up-front but do not deliver as promised.  Gerard Vidale formerly ran a similar scam "Tropical Tobago Vacations" and tobagovacations.org.  After getting payment from many victims, he disappeared with the money.

If you are a company doing business with him.  DEMAND payment in full in advance before providing ANY GOODS OR SERVICES, not even samples.  His scam is to pay in advance by check, explaining that it takes 3 months to process the check, but the check is "certified" and the funds are in a special "escrow account".  By the time he has received the goods and services, the checks are returned to you due to insufficient funds.

If you are planning a vacation to the Carribbean, use an established travel company with a good reputation.  Do not use any companies affilliated with Gerard Vidale.
