summerbay vacation fraud Posted By Margarita Cisne on 03-18-2005 8:05:32pm I think that one good thing to do would be to expose these people on TV so o-ther people won't be victims of this scam. I am planing to contact diffe-rent media to try to get them to ad-vise other people not to get involved in this kind of a scam.

Re: summerbay vacation fraud - Carol Posted on: 07-19-2005 3:15:49pm Your message is only one among many very negative messages regarding beginmyvacation.com. Let me ask you, did you in fact GO on their vacation ? You don't by any chance work for them, do you ? Why do they not give any indication as to the quality of the hotel rooms. I am on SSD, each of my pennies is precious, but I fell for it, badly needing to "get away" sometime in year. Is this a scam, or is in reallity a good vacation (despite the 90 minute sales talk)? I need to know before my 7 days of "buyers remorse" is over. Please, can you give me some info about your experience.

Re: summerbay vacation fraud - JASON XANDER Posted on: 07-19-2005 6:14:03pm THIS WEBSITE IS ABSOLUTELY BOGUS. tHE ONLY THING FRAUDULENT IS THIS WEBSITE. I HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM ONE OF THE BEST VACATIONS EVER THANKS TO SUMMERBAY. SUMMERBAY RESORT AND THEIR STAFF ARE WONDERFUL. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE FLAMINGO BAY YACHT CLUB AND I THINK IF THATS WHERE YOU HAD YOUR BAD TIME YOU SHOULD SAY THAT. I HOPE SUMMER BAY RESORT CONTACTS THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES. WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS WRONG.

Re: summerbay vacation fraud - Casey Shaw Posted on: 06-18-2005 2:24:34pm We recently purchased this dream come true vacation and now I can't believe all the people that have been scammed I to have not been able to reach anyone and they took more money than we told them they could. They left us in a negative balance and are bills are bouncing at the bank now we are expecting to have all of our utilities shut off because those checks will not be good. Please help us try to get our money back some how we could not even afford to give them what we originally agreed. And then they halped themselves to the rest of our bank account.

My wife and I were talking with someone today. Please, someone who has actually went on a vacation on them, post a reply. Everyone just be aware, this is a company that sells timeshares not vacations.

Re: summerbay vacation fraud - kassie Posted on: 04-22-2005 11:25:42am Yes, I am talking about the Orlando, Daytona and Bahamas trip. No one ever called me back. I am totally disgusted.. and the cust svc rep I spoke to last week was very nasty to me.

Re: summerbay vacation fraud - Nicklee Posted on: 04-20-2005 9:55:34am Hi, I just bought a few of these packages yesterday, and I think it's okay. I managed to call the Sales Reps about 5 times today, and each one confirmed that I've got the correct holiday packages. I'm based in the UK, so I got through to the 0800 number. The website link also works for me, and I don't think it's a scam. The only thing to remember is that these guys are trying to sell Timeshares. Under no circumstances should you agree to buying a £30,000 timeshare! Personally, I think Timeshares are difficult to sell once you buy it. However, for the price I paid for 5days Orlando, 3 days Daytona beach, x2 50th Anniversary Disney tickets, 4 days in the Bahamas, 5 days Cancun mexico, and x2 3day weekend breaks in the UK...I think it was pretty worth it.

Re: summerbay vacation fraud - shannon Posted on: 04-19-2005 7:51:43pm Please someone let me know something, about this. Is this a scam or not? I feel really betrayed and lied to. Special hotel and travel deals by TravelNow & CaribbeanMag.com Check rates and compare. Save up to 60%.

Re: summerbay vacation fraud - Charlene Meade Posted on: 04-14-2005 9:29:18pm I have purchased a summerbay Orlando vacation . Is this part of the fraud you are dealing with?

Re: summerbay vacation fraud - Kassie Posted on: 04-12-2005 11:56:31am I am soooo NOT happy to have seen this site!!! I too am beginning to feel suckered into a vacation by SummerBay. I have never heard of them before and against my better judgement, I paid for a vacation. I tried calling numerous times and could not get through the line. I had concerns about the vacation because it was different from what I was expecting. There were no reps answering the 800# either. Suprisingly, a rep named Melissa, called me at home, left a message stating they tried to contact me 4x's to check on my feelings about the vacation. They never called me, that call was the first call!! When I called back, I finally got through, it was in the evening after 7 PM EST.. I told her my concerns. She's supposed to check and call me back by today. So far, I haven't heard from her. I was just about to show a girlfried my package and I was telling her I feel like there's a scam going on. When I typed in Beginmyvacation, this site came up along with other sites!!! I think I want a refund!!!!!

Re: summerbay vacation fraud - Georgina Posted on: 04-11-2005 12:53:08am Recently purchased a package with summerbay and the only problem I've had is a bit of a language barrier(broad scottish!)Any problems i've have been dealt with, no problem. Finding this message board freaked me out a bit but donna has reassured me!!Lookin forward to it and hope others get what they paid for or thier money back!!!!
