Complaint Review: Special T Travel - Casselberry Florida

I am " employee " of special T travel. i have been wondering since i saw some ex-employees, employees response if they had any information for me. i use the term employee loosely. A friend of mine who has in the past owned , operated and successfully run a call center or 2 out of his home, cam across this company , everything seemed legit so the boss opened an at home inbound call center with them. a few things seemed off to me from the start but it has just become more and more out there. First off boss has to pay them daily ALOT of money to advertise for them via- a phone recording that uses a recording of his own voice. they have a list of suggestive messages for the boss but other than providing the autodialing service, they don't seem to offer much else. 2nd we do not log into there website at all. we only use it as a marketing tool, as in we tell people to take at look at it . i would think we would be logging in somewhere if where selling vacations for them. we have a script that was faxed to my boss and copied. that is all. but then again. specialty travel apparently does not need to know our names , how many employees work at the call center, anything. we do have a recording program that records the end of a sale where credit card information is collected. my boss was instructed to that he would be given commisoions and to divide it up however it seemed fair, so there are no paychecks given to us, just cash that comes from the boss. don't get me wrong i do like cash payments. all this seems odd, i am kinda thinking a legit company would want to know who is accepting there customers credit card numbers. not only am i wondering the legitmacy of what were selling, but, if anyone actually does make a sale will we even get paid, or will this be like the envelope stuffing scams, where for some reason there will be all sorts of hidden fees cutting into commisions , or maybe for some reason the sales will never be acceptable for some reason, therefore no commision.

I was the former National Marketing Director for Special-T-Travel from "98 to '00. During my tenure there Special-t-Travel had 3 complaints to the State of Florida Department of Agriculture (The licensing agency you should file all complaints with) while travelling thousands of customers during that time After my departure the company began recording HUGE numbers of complaints with the State of Florida. After I left, the company departed from it's standard operating practice and began using all the telemarketing techniques that the rest of the scum use. I would advise anyone not to use Special-T-Travel for any vacation needs as you can tell by their track record with the state they are unscupulous business practitioners. If you have any doubt got to the State of Florida Department of Agriculture and check out the number of complaints.

Oh, well. Contact your CC bank and talk to them about blocking any charges from your new good-buddies at "Special T Travel ". And what is that 'full CC' costing you? A 'full CC' will KILL your credit rating, as well as run up high interest and big fees, so your "solution" of keeping a "full CC" sounds like a really bad idea to me.
