I received an email soliciting an awesome sounding vacation package under the heading of 5 days and 4 nights to Costa Rica. As I'm getting married on June 18, 2011 I thought this would be great and excite my
fiancee with an all inclusion paid for trip. Afterwards and it's only been
a little over 4 hours I'm really scared and upset that I could have been
taken from an "high" on upcoming dream vacation/honeymoon. They
told me and I kept notes as they went first with a perosn indentifying
himself as "Benson" to "Kevin Lovelace supervisor" then to legals dept.
identifying herself as "Rebecca." All personel were very nice and had
me so excited. I kept asking for the "catch" and they stated all I had to
do was come to Orlando stay at their resort and listen to a 90 min. time share opportunity. I stated quite clearly that I wasn't buying anything and they stated I was under no obligation to do so. Subsequently, after
paying my money I have read numerous blogs regarding how they are
scamming people. These blogs are not visible until after the purchase. All I want is my money back and I'll go through a bonefided travel agency with guarantee's of purchasing a valid although more expensive package. If the blogs were visible at that time I would never have done such a blunder. It hasn't been but hours and all I can see now is I've already emailed them and will upon business hours state my resending this transaction. Please everyone I wish I had known of your blogs prior too now I am really concerned about telling my fiancee' of my excitement and stupidity. He'll be nice, but still doesn't do much for my ability of not being able to forget "if it's too good too be true...then it isn't." Words, I have lived by but unfortunately dreaming of that day will now be taken with great caution and treading slower much slower for deals that rip people off.
