All Seasons Travel Ripoff Trying to rip us off Atlanta GA
We received a call on 2005-01-10 in the evening from All Seasons Travel from a Vince Savory ID number 9929. Claiming that he is Canadian working in the states.
We had attended the 34th Annual Bridal Fair in Ottawa Ontario Canada this past weekend January 6th to the 8th. We entered some draws and as it would happen we had one this wonderful trip.
It stated that we had won Cruise to bahamas, Florida, Mexico, and Las Vegas. All these exciting things all of this can be kepted for up to 18 months and all these goodies. When I asked the telemarketer what his number was he was unable to give me his 1-800 number, claiming that he did not know it by heart. C'mon you do not know where you work????? The price was 210.. per person in canadian funds. so about 800 dollars canadian.
We gave him our email address and home address as the recorded electronic ticket with confirmation number would be emailed and mailed to us. Hung up and they called back asking for a credit card number, at that moment I was on-line checking out the reports and realized that I was being or in the process of being scammed.
So to all you people that Attended the 34th Annual Bridal Fair in Ottawa Ontario Canada on January 6th, 7th and 8th should contact the congress centre and ask to speak to the organizer of the event and let them know that a scamming company was filtering through the Bridal fair. This is not good business for them.
Hope all of you were not caught up in the hype and for the ones that did get scammed I hope you get your money back.
Good evening

First I would like to say that All Seasons Travel is a huge recognized Travel Company. We deal with fortune 500 hundred companies as sponsors. Now as far as the scams are concerned not once in any of our presentations are the consumers told they have won anything! The opening statement for all of our PROMOTIONS! They say you registered for a Florida Bahamas cruise and out of the thousands of registrants you were one of the lucky few selected demographically for our "FAM" vacation. Which is a familiarization trip, come enjoy our services in hopes for word of mouth and repeat business. For a better idea of what a "FAM" trip is check this site out http://www.famrates.com/. Also its not high pressure at all your dealing with a promotional fee of 174.50US per ticket for 4 adults total 698US, the definition of promotional fee, cost for All Seasons to run the actual promotion. Which involves setting up booths registration forms long distance calls etc. I don't believe there is anyone out there who will ship a PRE PAID package at over 3000US without any security on their end. As for the few who were selected they receive 2 1/2 years to use the vacation and by reserving it on first notification as indicated at the show you receive 3 days Las Vegas Nevada and 5 days in Puerto Valletta Mexico. Now if anyone can find a better opportunity for a 16-day holiday in Raddison and Hilton hotels I personally would like to see it. Now for the security for them as far as giving the credit card, come on people how long have you had your cards YOUR NOT LIABLE UNLESS YOU AUTHORIZE THE CHARGE! Enough said. Hopefully this will give a few people an opportunity to travel and enjoy the quality that is... All Seasons Travel
