Grand Premier Vacations Cascadia Condominiums Solicited on phone with lies, scammed & ripped us off at seminar, provided fake opt-out papers Cheyenne , Wyoming
RUN from Grand Premier Vacations!! We were solicited via a phone call in mid-June 2011. We attended a seminar at a hotel in Metairie LA on June 17, 2011. After the seminar, we were interested & gave them our info so they could check our credit. We were told we would pay Grand Premier DIRECTLY X$ until it was paid & then pay a $150.00 annual "membership" fee & would be able to travel to all these exotic locations such as Paris, London, etc. & also anywhere in the U.S. - the Gulf Coast beaches, Boston, New York, etc.
We were also told we would immediately get 2 FREE cruises from any U.S. port & 2 FREE round-trip airline tickets just for attending the seminar. I asked if we could read the fine print & have the ability to opt out within 3 days, which is the law & they assured me we could do that. I came home & read the fine print & almost had HEART FAILURE!! There were so many strings attached & so much we hadn't been told, I knew we would NEVER be able to use ANYTHING that they promised.
I took everything back to them on June 18, 2011 & had a manager there sign a paper that we were OPTING OUT FOREVER! Being honest, I didn't notice he put '28' instead of '18' & then scratched a 1 over the 2. A few days later, my husband answered a phone call from a woman who said since we hadn't activated our credit cards, she was doing it FOR US! He didn't know what she was talking about. Then we got a Bank of America (RCI Elite) credit card and a bill from Cascadia Condominiums for $4,693.00!! We had never heard of them! We have never used the card. It is still stuck to the cardboard it was mailed on.
I have spoken to several B of A reps & CC reps & they SAY they don't believe this, mainly because of the "scratched-out 2" - they think we did that. That doesn't make sense as they were no longer here on June 28. It was obviously a pre-planned scam. The manager's signature is illegible, but most of them are! I've been fighting this since June & have done everything they asked, sent all the paperwork, notified the 3 credit unions, etc. I feel like we're living in a nightmare and all I know is we are NEVER going to pay ONE CENT to Cascadia Condominiums & NEVER use the B of A credit card!! We have read the letters from others about GP on the RIPOFF REPORT. H E L P!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. All of the
contacts I had with Cascadia Condominiums (all THREE of them!) now have had
their phones DISCONNECTED or are NO LONGER WITH the company! SHOCKER,
HUH????? I don't understand how Bank of America can do
business with this
company!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Dixie (And Ed, I wish I worked with you - what you are doing would be
my dream job!)
