Re: VACATION FRAUD - zz Posted on: 05-16-2005 9:09:20pm ok, go to beginmyvaction.com I found it clicking a link on a search with Yahoo. Google and aol didnt find it for me. you have to try different search engines, but I finally got to the site. Then put in " 2ntgift" in the promo code spot and you get there! It finally worked for me.

Re: VACATION FRAUD - zz Posted on: 05-11-2005 9:22:01am guess what Summer Baty hotel and resort is doing the same to me. When I didnt buy anything they sent me to the beginmyvacationwebsite, which I cant even find. They are ugly on the phone now and wont give me their name. I say call the credit card company and they will take it off of your bill.

Re: VACATION FRAUD - Chris Beech Posted on: 05-08-2005 2:52:14pm I paid £300 in advance with the promise of a seemingly unbelievable deal fo a Florida, Gulf Coast and Bahamas holiday. I can't locate the website they advised me to log onto to arrange the vacation. Special hotel and travel deals by TravelNow & CaribbeanMag.com Check rates and compare. Save up to 60%.

Re: VACATION FRAUD-Summer Bay - kassie Posted on: 05-01-2005 9:36:27am Re: Vacation Fraud kassie Posted on: 05-01-2005 9:24:23am REPLY Yes, this is very very FRAUDELENT!!! I complained earlier on another post and I'm complaining again!!! Not only did I finally get in touch with 2 different managers, but I had to argue with them. They refused to give me a refund!!!!! I asked for a refund over and over, advising I have no interest and I didn't want to take their vacation. They stated because it's past the 7 days, I couldn't get one, which was a load of crap. Within 7 days, my vacation package was not as promised and I couldn't get through to their line, which I think is part of the plan. The girl called and left a message for me the 7th day, stating they tried calling me 4 times, which was a LIE that was their first attempt!!!!! I advised the manager Mr Branch and Mr Angel, that I would not buy any of their properties. They cut the cost in half and threw in a free rental car and gave me an extra day in Orlando. SO WHAT!!!! I still didn't want it, even if it's cheap. They charged me total of $299. However, after I pay airfare, shuttle services to and from resort, parking the car daily at their cheapee Holiday Inn in Orlando, parking at the Theme park, buying more theme park tickets, food and bug repellent (I'm sure), it'll all add up!! I'm not impressed at all. I am not looking forward to having to drive an hour here and there just to have a good time either!!! Not my idea of a relaxing vacation. They told me transportation was included at the sales pitch, that's why I bought it 4 weeks ago. Then the manager, Mr Angel, told me they have an outside marketing company calling people. They have no control over what they say, transportation was never included. They could promise you the moon doesn't mean they're actually offering what these people promise!!!!! I'll probably do the Orlando and the Bahamas trips at different times. I'm not interested in sitting for hours through presentations for something I don't want to buy. I didn't listen to my inner voice telling me to say NO THANK YOU in the beginning.. It was GREED that made me think, this was a good deal. This is exactly what I get!!! Never ever ever ever AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! for all you others, be VERY CAUTIOUS!!

Re: VACATION FRAUD - Debra Posted on: 03-21-2005 9:09:36am I was told online and on the phone 18007345148 that I won a free$1000 towards their resort in Las Vegas. They tried to sell me a Florida package when I refused the package they told me to go here to claim my $1000 prize. I did not put the address in search. So, it is a scam plus they popped up and I have a pop up blocker. Special hotel and travel deals by TravelNow & CaribbeanMag.com Check rates and compare. Save up to 60%.

Re: VACATION FRAUD - Kim Posted on: 03-11-2005 10:35:27am try calling 866-639-6144 or 888-782-9847 and go to the website www.beginmyvacation.com and make sure you put it in the address bar NOT the search bar-this is not a scam
