American Travel Partners, False Advertising of Vacation Contests Giveaways at Home Shows, Fairs, Flea Markets Seminole Florida

1st of May, 2011 by User215669

This company sets up at Home Shows, Flea Markets and anywhere there is mass amounts of people. They state that they are a travel agency that offers very discounted travel. They go by multiple names.They set up a fake display board to advertise a 7 or 8 night vacation giveaway to Hawaii. They collect your name, phone number and ask you about your income and other personal questions. Then they give you a "coupon" for a 3 day, 2 night hotel stay to say thank you for participating in their drawing. If you read the small print it states that you must send a check of $50.00 to them within 15 days to cover government room tax. Once you send in that $50.00, they send you a packet that requests you choose the kind of vacations you prefer and they ask for more money. This time for processing fees and such. If you send that money in then another set of papers come and they ask for more money. This time is to hold your dates, or to upgrade, or to whatever...they even invite you to meet them at local hotels in your area for a "meeting". The black out dates to travel are nearly everyweek, which would make the actual travel impossible! I think the intend to fraud consumers is present and this company knows they are ripping people off with no real travel ever intended. I think it just goes on and on and no one has ever really travelled and if they have it was neither discounted, nor hassle-free!
