Everyone,
My wife and I were screwed by Fulfillment International Corporation, just like a lot of people here. But we haven't let it rest there. We have contacted the American FBI. The Detroit office covers the Michigan area (where FIC claim to be based) and they have asked for anyone who has been cheated by FIC to contact them, giving full information about how/where they were contacted by FIC, how much they have paid out and when, etc, etc. Give them as much information as possible.
Barclaycard (in the UK) are also investigating, so if you used a VISA/Barclaycard to purchase your holiday, contact them with the details as well.
Also, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but certainly on my creditcard statements, the money for FIC was sent out to a place called Hoofddorp in The Netherlands - NOT to the USA! The Netherlands Board of Tourism have done some searching and it appears FIC are very active over there. Lots of people getting stitched up. The NBT and The Netherlands British Chamber of Commerce have recommended we all contact the police in Hoofddorp, as well as various consumer groups and the office of Fair Trading. All details below.
Let's get these guys!
