Voyager Travel, World Adventure Bookings ripoff Internet
Voyager Travel sent me a promotional email for 2 free airline tickets worth 1600 usd. I credit carded the payment of which I still have the email. It was 199.00 plus a 30 dollar fee.
They had invited me to do this from an email. I still have the receipt for the amount I had paid in the original email. I have a total of 5 emails from them saved. I had saved them in case I needed to contact them for any reason. I have the original invitation email.
When I went on the net last night I discovered the rip offs were in Texas, had filed for bankruptcy and reopened in another location under another name. Their supposed 'reservation processing center is at the PO box address in Newport Beach, Ca. How these two supposed organizations are hooked up I guess one takes the money the other processes the reservation is how they had it worked out.
The deal they had going was two people could travel from l originating airport and go to a destination and return back to the same airport. Or one could travel out and bring the other back to the same originating airport. You were supposed to book a hotel as well for one night minimum as part of the deal.
When you decided to travel you had to pay them another fee of $250, which I never did pay. My supposed voucher is good until October 2006, it was supposed to be good for 2 years.
I was to send them the form that they had mailed me after I had paid the 30usd. I got the forms in the mail one a Welcome Letter by a Michael Moore and a reservation request form.
When I wanted to travel I had to send in the reservation request form 60 days before I wanted to travel. Then I had to pick travel dates, two of them 45 days apart and not in high season.
I had these papers and had decided to use them to see friends. had thought of going overseas to visit a friend there and decided to visit Hawaii with my son and visit friends there.
I tried the other night to contact these people by phone and found that the phone number in the original letter was now a completely different company. Then I tried the email telephone number and just left a message to the number that did not identify itself as any company.
This I did on April 19,2006. I searched the web for the company and found it here at Rip Off Report, much to my dismay, the vouchers I had were worthless. I had been ripped off for $229.00 usd. I am glad I did not send the rest.
This was a big disappointment for me. I am disabled and do not have much. I looked upon this as an opportunity to see some people I really wanted to see and visit a place I really wanted to visit, now I can do neither. These "air tickets" were a false hope for me for almost two years. I just found out I got ripped off almost two years later. I had paid them in October of 2004 and was going to travel July 2006, well under my supposed limit and expiration date of October 2006. I am really bummed about this.
