Fraud
I didn't check the web for consumer reports before I was sucked into this one. I went to a 90 minute timeshare presentation (90 minutes I can never get back). I was given the voucher for my "free" vacation, only to find that I must send $50 per person in order to activate the voucher. Well Isent the $100 total and then recieved the vacation request form. I have now filled out the form and was about to mail it off when my inner self told me something sounds fishy about a company that would request a front and back copy of my credit card, plus a copy of my driver license. Boy am I glad I called. When I started calling their numbers 2 days ago I am told, WTC is out of business and I would not get my money back. Then of course I was hung up on quickly. I have every intention of filing reports with everyone from the local attorney general in Florida all the way up to FBI. I absolutely want in on a class action lawsuit. Let me know when!

Scam - don't reserve 3 days two nights!!
I recently acquired a "so called" Free Three Days and Two Nights Vacation package from World wide travel agency given to me by my employer Aramark. Come to be known when I called to make reservations and take advantage of their offer, a customer service representative took my call with an Indian accent. He said how would be happy to help me. First he said to read him my reservation number and so I did, then he said that he would need to give me a new reservation number because World wide Travel had gone out of business. I said wow! that's odd!! but I continued letting him help me with my needs, he then asked me if I had my three destinations in mind and that I needed a min. of 30 days and a maximum of 90 days to take the offer. Then, I said sure my destinations are Key West, Miami Beach or Orlando FL. He said sure, let me help you out I will need a Credit Card number as a promise that you would take the offer and all your information and so I did gave him my credit card number and address, afterwards he then started pretending he had communication problems and computer problems he made me wait for 10 min. he came back on the line and said he could on offer me two locations: Bahamas and Daytona Beach. I then realized I was being scammed for false advertising, I said look, stop the whole thing delete all my information because you are false advertising, I would contact an attorney and file a complaint against your company, I asked him for his name and all he would give me was "Ben" but, no last name and hung up the phone before I could get more information.

Condo Fee
I paid my condo fee in the amount of $266.00 and submitted my dates for my free week condo stay, only to find out that they are no longer in business and the new company TRIPS that answers the phone at their telephone number does not honor Worldwide Travel Center certificates and does not know the old companies number or address. All I want is a refund of my $266.00.

7 nights condominium stay
I received the vacation offer through a travel compay based in Columbia, MD. I sent $266.00 in January '09 which was accepted by WWTC. They did not contacted me thereafter and no reciept of payment. When I call them they would say my vacation choice is fully booked and to choose another place. After a few changes I requested the money to be refunded. They asked that I send my request by mail and my 2 attempts to send them a letter failed (return to sender). The last I talked to them was in Sep'09. The 954-571-7990 number still works but get you the voice msg.

How To Get Your Refund
For those of you who are having trouble getting your refund, I am providing the following to show what finally worked for me:

On June 5, 2009, I wrote Worldwide Travel Center to cancel my cruise request since they could not find any vacancy on the days that my wife and I wanted to go. I had sent them $100 initially and then $180, a total of $280. By the way, we were told that the cruise would be free. Since June 5th, I called them several times. It was difficult to get them by phone. When I finally got through, they would tell me each time that the "check is in the mail." On Sept. 15th, I was told to call 954.571.7990 x268 specifically for refunds. I left a message for a lady by the name of Helen. Essentially I told her that if I did not get a return call from a supervisor about my refund within 48 hours, I would file a complaint with the Attorney General Office of Florida, the BBB, the FBI, the Mayor's Office of Deerfield Beach and whoever else I could find to file a complaint. I also faxed them a letter, sending it to the IMMEDIATE ATTENTION: REFUND DEPARTMENT, basically stating the same thing (FAX 954.571.8197). That afternoon, I received a call from Worldwide, a lady whose name I could not remember. The lady told me that she had my check in her hand and she promised to send it out immediately. She told me to relax and be looking for the check in a couple of days. On Sept. 18, 2009, the check arrived in my mail box.
I believe Worldwide is a legitimate business. They sure make it very, very difficult for you to collect your gift and even more difficult to get your refund. My name is Jim and I live in Houston, TX. Good luck.

questionable practices
We won a 3 day 2 night vacation voucher through a local car dealership promotion. I followed the instructions on the reservation form and called the 888 number prior to mailing in my request. They asked my age, husband's age, children's age, combined annual family income, and which major credit cards I have. I answered all the questions, then she wanted my credit card number. I asked why she needed my credit card number- this offer was for a free vacation and the reservation form indicated that I had to send in a refundable $50.00 deposit. She said she needed the credit card in her system before she could activate my reservation. She would not/could not answer why they needed that information in their system, and said if I wouldn't provide it, I'd have to call back later when I could. With so much fraudulent credit card activity and identity theft, I would expect an explanation from ANYONE who wanted my credit card number. I had no intention of paying anything on my card for a free vacation and did not want to freely provide my card number to them. She finally hung up on me!! I couldn't believe it! Today, I was going on line to their web-site to see if there was any information regarding this requirement and I saw the multitude of complaints against this company!!

Travel scam
I was attracted by a birthday flyer (see scam1) which promised that I would be awarded 2 round trip air fares for attending a seminar in Scottsdale, Az (16427 N. Scottsdale Rd, Suite 145) in February 2009.
After the seminar, I was directed to submit a form to Worldwide Travel Center. The form required that I send a $100 money order as a deposit which I would get back once I completed the travel. I sent in the form and received another form (see scam2). This form required me to send in payment for the taxes on the flight and hotel accomodations for 2 nights. This required that I send in a money order of $146 along with various documents. After some time, I received the package back (less the money) saying that I needed to send another w-9 form for my wife. I resubmitted the package. After some time I received the package again; this time saying that I needed to send the package via certified mail. I resubmitted the package and after some time received the package saying that I needed to submit a copy of another credit card. I then called Worldwide Travel Center and talked with a representative; this as in June 2009. I said that I did not know what they wanted because the original form did not require a second credit card. I got no response other than I had to follow the instructions that I was sent. I then requested that my money be returned. I was told that my money would be returned.
I have waited over 7 weeks to receive my money. Over the past two weeks I have called Worldwide Travel Center repeatedly using various extensions and have always been routed to an answering machine which will only take a 15 second message. Well, I've learned a valuable $250 lesson. There is no such thing as a free trip...

Reservations Scam
I donated my car to Kars 4 Kids and was given this offer for 2 free nights at a hotel with Worldwide Travel Center. I set up my reservation by phone and they took forever to send me my application returned because I didn't write my statement to authorize my credit card correctly. They wanted me to resend it along with my $50 deposit check and another "resubmission" fee check. I just stupidly did but now see all these similar complaints about this being a scam. In the mean time, they have my credit card info and authorization to charge it as well as checks made out to them. My travel certificates expiration date is coming up shortly so I don't doubt they will allow it to expire before sending any "real" reservation confirmation back. In the mean time, what should I do?
