Coast to Coast Grand Getaway Vacations Pressure Phone Call to book a Vacation Sarasota, Florida
I received a phone call in the afternoon on November 10th from a gentleman who introduced himself as
Mike. He informed me that he represented a travel service that has since changed its name to Coast to Coast Grand Getaways. He also informed me that I was a past member and that I had $3000.00 in
credits for an upgrade to the Gold Club. That raised a Red Flag immediately.
I decided to play along and listen to his monologue about these great vacations at a very cheap price. He directed me to their website (www.coasttocoastgrandgetaways.com) It looked legit. Being a web designer, I could design a website similar as well. it is not hard.
Still playing along he directed me to his manager to discuss buying a package. So I waited a minute or two until another gentleman chimed in and introduce himself and asked me how did I like the presentation. I told him that I didnt get much out of it and I would like for him to send me some literature so I can research their company and reputation. I also told him if I could submit their company to the West Virginia Attorney Generals' Office for referral and they immediately hung up.

I paid their one time fee and received my package in the mail to include all of the above. I kept the guy on the phone for over 1 1/2 hours to make sure, type, and confirm all that we had talked about. The guy was straight with me and I had no problems.
