The Guest List Questionable - can't find 'em - do they even exist? Garden City New York
After checking Rip-off Reports (http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff57466.htm), I decided that it looked similar to something I got in the email. After checking it out with a Google Search and the physical address in yp.yahoo.com, I found it did not exist.
I don't know if in fact this is a scam but it sure seems like it to me.
Here's how it reads:
"Fly to places like Hawaii, New York, Las Vegas, Miami, Orlando, Bahamas, Mexico, Jamaica, Belize, London, Rome, Hong Kong, Paris, Amsterdam, plus hundreds more!

A quote from the above offer: . "When you decide to reserve your flight, you will have to book a hotel stay. Some lodging may have a minimum stay requirement. But the minimum stay will be no longer than a standard vacation of 5-7 days." . Ever hear of a hotel in which the rooms are $160. or more per night with a one week minimum? It would be my guess "The Guest List" has. . Let me guess: "The Guest List" makes the "hotel" arrangements and can thus inflate the rates of any rooms they so kindly book for the participant. This is assuming your $20. isn't sucked into some cyber created black hole.
