Scammer wanted me to buy vacation rental weeks from interval and they would rent them to other businesses for a profit. They would return a portion of the rental money to me.

I purchased airline tickets online round trip from Wichita, JS to Baton Rouge, LA around $330.00. I received a confirmation email. A few hours later I receive an email stating there is a problem and I should call about my purchased tickets. I call them and they asked for an additional $200.00. I told them no and I’ll cancel, but they told me I cannot cancel. I told them I wanted a refund because this wasn’t what was agreed upon and they refused a refund. If this isn’t a scam then I do not know what one is. I work two jobs, very hard for my money, and I booked the flight as an act of kindness to a friend. I regret it. I hope you stop this business.

Website acting as trusted traveler program, but was not official homeland security site for global entry renewal. Scammer got passport, driver’s license, and home address information.

Reservation Stays posts extremely misleading and false ads when booking hotels. They frame themselves as the property. The confirmation info is different than the booking. When calling you cannot get anyone who is able to assist. One of the numbers is not even active.

First saw them at Walmart and they immediately started selling. Then we went to their office to hear a presentation and we were sold. We are 75-year-old retirees who wanted to travel the world. We were told again and again that this would happen. When we started to make our first vacation to Italy we contacted them and explained where and how we wanted the trip to be. They said NO! that they only had one location there and we would have to stay there. We canceled this trip. Then we tried to build a trip to England and the same thing happened. We went back down to the local company office to talk to the Manager, who had just come back from his honeymoon. He told us that he could help us get the trip that we wanted where we could travel to Italy and have several different hotel accommodations and help with all of the planning. He then took his phone and made a call to someone. He said that this person could help and that we needed to call him. We did but he told us that there was nothing that he could do to help. Things like this just went on and on so we decided to cancel our Wyndham account. When we tried Wyndham would simply not talk to us. So we ended up talking to TimeShare Legal and hired them to represent us. They promised us everything and finished giving us nothing. The only thing they did was take another $16,000 from us. They have sent us an email that says that they have resolved the contract and that we are free. However, we have not received any notification from Wyndham to show up this is done. Then, on January 13, 2023, we received notification that a report to Transunion showed that we had been charged 40+ points off our credit score because of this defaulted Wyndham account. Now, of course, we are constantly seeing similar situations across the country showing people who are screaming out about the SCAM from Wyndham (and TimeShare Legal) and reports of all the money that these people have lost. How could the people of our country continue to allow this to happen and what can the people do to correct this? Do we simply say that we were SCAM(ed) and just live with it? We need to do something!

Called about resort package for 5 trips for $500. I was able to use 1 of the 5 in Cancun. Had great time, viewed the 90 minute presentation, no issues. Called to use 2nd trip and all the numbers and emails are no longer valid.

Thirfty car rental is scamming thier customers and charging them fraudulently after you return the vehicle. They inspect the car and tell you that you are all good and then charge you for smoking in a vehicle when you dont smoke. This is outrageous and ScamPulse.com has 1600 complaints about this company when will they be shut down.

They called and had my name. They then asked me if I had a time share. As soon as I asked who was calling, they hung up.

I found Farecorner.com in a google search for cheap flights. I went through all of the information needed to complete the airline booking. I was given a price and paid by credit card. 5 minutes after I finished booking, I was called to tell me the section of the airplane was full and they needed to move me up a class for an extra $100 per person. I’m just wondering if I got scammed just now and need to call my credit card company. This just happened so I don’t have all of the info yet, but was curious if you know anything on this company. Thanks in advance.

Requested airline tickets online. Tickets were reasonable so we agreed and paid for the tickets. Bank put a hold on the charge because they thought it was a scam but we told them it was for tickets. Money was released. They did not respond right away then we got an email saying the price went up $100. We agreed. I did not get my tickets. I got another email that said the tickets went up again another $125. I did not agree. Called our bank and cancelled the card and reported the fraudulent site. Al this was in the span of 36 hours. so the price kept going up within 36 hours. Emails only came in the middle of the night with an urgent response required. A reputable company would process the charge and send the tickets. Told them in their email to cancel our tickets and told them I would not agree to any changes.

You are being scammed when they keep taking money but don't give you the tickets.

I rented a villa on Lake Como through a company called Rentvillas.com at 56 E. Main St, Ste #202 Ventura CA 93001 and paid 50% deposit (9k) to secure my dates for next August. Last email communication was April of 2022 and have been ghosted since Oct of 2022 when my travel advisor replied saying she was no longer with the company and she was sorry and advised me to begin dispute over my deposit with my credit card company. My rental dates are available on VRBO so no "real" rental dates are mine. Multiple emails and phone calls have resulted in ZERO replies. I've contacted the Office of the Attorney General, Consumer Affairs and the Secretary of State seeking information about the status of this business! They link the ScamPulse.com on their website for a "reliability report" - server not available. DO NOT RENT A VILLA THROUGH THIS COMPANY!!

I had two free consultations with a “Timeshare Freedom” agent by the name of Elder Reyes.

The office was located in a office building in Riverside, CA.

They took my money to hire a “lawyer” and help me out of my timeshare… I was contacted twice for more money and months later when I reached out for an update they disappeared.

I attended a presentation w Timeshare Remedy (TR) in Ann Arbor MI on 9/21/22. TR was offering to get me out of a timeshare contract I have with Vacation Internationale (VI), with whom I've had no complaints.

TR claimed I had:

1) 6.5 years left on my contract -- WRONG my contract expires in 2025

2) TR claimed VI would charge me thousands for HOA fees when my contract expires - WRONG. Per Mary w VI, there are absolutely NO FEES at the end of my contract. In fact she said I could cancel today if I wished without any fees.

I do pay the annual maintenance fee (~$780) as expected.

3) for $3500 TR would get me out of my contract and transfer my 81 VI points to their timeshare (name unknown).

Fortunately I did not fall for scam. Today after talking w Mary at VI, she reassured me about no additional fees and that she was aware of the scam.

Thank you.

For some reason your website is not allowing me to enter scammers phone#s. I have office 888-332-4136 and TR Timeshare Advisor Jason Leith 865-414-2998.

I believe these people are trying to extract cash from those who invested in timeshares. It is seductive because Vidanta is brutal in getting people to sign contracts -- they are almost worse than the scammers. However, I am hounded with calls and now a post card offering me "compensation including a total or partial refund." I know that they intend to suck me in, need cash in advance, and I will have an expensive timeshare and a scam.
