Hello, my name is "charlie". I am still working at one of the phone rooms for this Ramada Plaza Resorts O.F.V. I also used to work for the print shop that made the invitations. I also used to work in the mailshop that mailed the invitations. I also used to work at the warehouse where your packages (videos, etc.) are mailed from. So I know a thing or to from the inside. The low down from start to finish---- A "list" is generated. That "list" is sent to the "printshop" to be made up on a 17"x14" paper. It is then cut and folded to look like a booklet. Some of them are even glued together to look like boarding passed. It is then put in the envelope..and sent FIRST CLASS mail. Keep in mind anything sent first class, initially must be inspected by the post master generals office for verification...to make sure nothing on there is illegal or fraud. So certain "key words" are missing to be 'legal'. NOW, no where on the invite does it say FREE nor does it say it costs. Also, keep in mind because it is printed on the invite - "One call per note", "one call per household", or "one call per family" THE HAVE TO FOLLOW THROUGH!! because anything you advertise, you have to sell it the EXACT same way it is advertised. So if you would just read all of the information BEFORE you call...you will be the judge of whether or not, will you be able to make that kind of 'spontanious' decision on one call. Also, no matter what the "seller" on the phone says...example - "Its 698 total and the rest is free!" When you decide you want to buy, you are transfered to CORPORATE SHIPPING AND VERIFICATION. what they do is tell you EVERYTHING you are responsible for...tax,gas,insur.,room service, port charges,etc. And the verifier,by law, says... "You have the option to cancel during your statitory period, which will be in your 'terms and condition' of you package you recieve in the mail, however, beyond that time...your package is sold on a non-refundable basis. It is transferable (which is RARE for promotional offers) and extenable. Now, I need to verify that you have understood everything that consists of this package, correct? OK, I also need to know that you authorize the charge of 698" So it is clearly stated that it is refundable for a period of time. Look, I am not trying to defend this company, because to be honest with you, I could care less if they get shut down tomorrow for whatever reason it may be. Yes, the vacation is sugar coated, However I just thought this inside info could help. Hope it does...
