We attended the VIP Travel presentation in Columbia, Maryland on 3/24/08. We were promised two free airline tickets if we attented the presentation. The first thing they wanted was a photo ID and then asked for a credit card. I wasnt about to show them a credit card and they told me I couldnt attend the presentation. They then said that they just needed to see that the name on credit card was the same as mn other form of ID. I didnt have a problem with that as long as they didnt take my card number.
I attended the presentation and it was pleasant, the girl was very nice. But when I asked if we didnt want to sign up today what did we need to do and was ignored and wasnt given a answer. We then got a high pressure buy now pitch, which we declined, and didnt get any info on how to sign up later. We then got our free ticket voucher to mail out. It states that it will take a month, due to high volume, and then an addtional two weeks to get dates. I then looked up the company on the website "complaint" and saw that this company has been scamming people all over the country under different scams from vacations to timeshares.
What I dont understand is how these people havent been arrested and nothing is being done. We were lucky not to have given any money, but others arent as fortunate. I cant say for a moment I wasnt tempted and could have signed up. PLEASE put these people in jail, stop them from stealing from good people just trying to get a good vacation deal.
