I googled Global Entry and filled out ALL my info. So they have ALL my info. My date of birth, email address, DL #, my passport #, my current and previous addresses and employers.

Trying to cancel flight tickets and get refunded. Scammers ask for payment to upgrade tickets to refundable.

Lost money $ 762

After that they are asking for copies of my passport and of my family. But I did not send.

The scaring thing is that I called an official number from American Airlines website and they picked up. Thought I was talking to AA.

Promised a cruise for two nights on Margaritaville, and 2 nights on Grand Bahama Island. They lied. Then found out it was 2 nights in Fort Lauderdale. Then when I tried to book, they ping ponged me back and forth between Take a Break Travels and CRS. None of them would refund my $$.

Recover letter in mail that promised to complimentary round trip airline vouchers& 2 nights at one of over 1,000 Marriott, Hilton, or Hyatt locations. No website listed on the letter, which is extremely unusual, especially for any legitimate business. The letter has a big Wingate By Wyndham and logo at the bottom right, and “Event Location” under it.

They identified as Delta airlines. They booked my flights. When I checked my credit card statement I was charged $1850.98 for the service. Not for my flights. Delta & KLM said it was a scam & to report them. They misrepresented Delta airlines.

Thank you

Received mail that offered free hotel stays, free meals, etc. Did not explain what we had to do. Call the number because "offer will expire" in 48 hours. Call to number was unanswered. Scammer appeared to be registered with travel and leisure show in Atlanta, but no further information was given. Used Embassy Suites logo and mentioned all major airlines but Delta.

Received a US Mail solicitation to receive (2) complimentary tickets to attend Travel Exhibit 2024. No location for this event was given, but for attending we would ". . .receive (2) complimentary round-trip airline vouchers. These vouchers are valid within the continental United States departing from most major international airports." In addition we would "receive (2) nights at one of over 1000 Marriott's, Hilton's or Hyatt's. (Option to extend) The retail value is up to $980." Very similar wording to the scam that the other person sent. The flyer went on to say that the first 50 callers would also receive a $100 dining savings card good a several listed restaurant chains and provided a phone number (855-549-0722) to call with a claim number. Flyer/Letter was signed Rich Allen Travel Exhibit 2024. I didn't bother to call the number so don't know what might have come of it. Considering that no location, dates or times for this Travel Exhibit 2024 were given I had to believe it is/was a scam.

Carolyn offered travel agent services for a domestic trip to Las Vegas. What we did not know before we engaged in her services, is that she is a scam artist who takes money from her customers and does not deliver, but knows that she is not going to deliver. She has done this before and we did not know that. She essentially makes verbal promises about things that she is going to do and then NEVER does them. So for us, she was supposed to book our airfare, hotel, and activities while we were in Las Vegas. Thirty days before the trip she still had not booked anything and claimed that she still needed more time. Up until 2 weeks before the trip was to take place, I called the airlines that she claimed she booked through and the hotel and they both confirmed that I in fact did not have a reservation for air or hotel. There was nothing in their systems whatsoever. When we confronted Carolyn, she claimed that she was still "talking" to vendors. Little did we know that her scam is just to allow time to run out and then you are either without the trip OR she books something completely different than what she promised based on the amount of money she has available from others in which she scammed. My advice to you is not to use her for anything. I have uploaded her information from FB so that you can see what it is.

Received unsolicited email and from company that appeared to be government agency responsible for Global Entry renewals. I filled out my name, address, phone number and credit card information. I checked with my credit card and there have not been any unauthorized charges. I fear that the information provided will be used to steal my identity.

My son and approximately 45 classmates were to take a once in a lifetime senior trip to Italy on June 26, 2023. They all showed up to the airport only to find the tickets were never purchased and there was no trip. Rose Fazzolari of Syosset, NY, also doing business as Exclusively Yours Worldwide Travel and Ablex, scammed this group out of over $200,000 collectively.

This person somehow got my locator number for some American Airlines reservations and called and told me they would be cancelled if I didn't pay $169. I disputed this on the phone with them for 2 hours as I had paid in full for the flights back in January. He was so insistant about my locator number so I thought he was legitimately from American Airlines and so I gave him my credit card info. But then when I checked my bank after the call, it was actually a call from a place called PCR Consultants so I shut the card down and disputed the charges. They found out I disputed the charges and went on AA.com and cancelled my NON-REFUNDABLE tickets. He was able to do this because he had my locator number. I have no idea who these people are as I booked my own flights online and paid in full the day they were booked. What a scam!

Scammer called me on my personal cell phone and stated if I listened to a 45 minute presentation the next day on a zoom call, my family and I would receive a vacation package that is a 4 days and 3 night stay for free. They were very adamant that you attended the zoom call by calling and texting to make sure you were attending the day before and day of the zoom call and even before the zoom call was supposed to start. The presentation explained that they could give you a wholesale travel membership to be able to travel with extreme discounts for airfares, cruises, hotel stays, all inclusive stays, car rentals, activities, and weekly stays. After the Zoom call was over with the group of people who had an appointment the same time as my appointment, we were all redirected to a personal advisor to ask questions and have the details clarified and to see if we would buy the membership. The 10 year with unlimited access was regularly priced at $5999 was marked down today only to $1999. with a $199 per year annual fee and the legacy plan was normal priced at $7999. was offer today only for $3999. with $199 annual fee when you traveled that year. It was definitely enticing to think you could go on a Hawaiian vacation with a reasonable cost instead of the true expense it realistically costs. I told the representative named Dylan that I would have to talk it over with my husband before I would buy anything thing. I would have to talk to him first and let him know later tonight. He said he understood. They had me wondering if this is just too good to be true.....So I checked out the ScamPulse.com for it being a possible scam and I found others that had problems with them not being legit. I am so glad I went with my gut feeling that it is too good to be true and it is. Right now it is a tough time for most Americans because of the economy issues and we definitely do not need for scammers taking more money from us. Buyers beware. They didn't get money from me even though they tried. I never gave them my credit card number but they did ask how old I was. I will be contacting the credit bureaus to make sure to put an alert on my accounts. They have perfected how a travel business would act if you were dealing with them. At the end you are shocked that they had you believing what they were telling you as being the truth
