There is a scam that has entered into your area the groups name they are using there is World Vacations also known as Sun Travel, Sun coast Travel, Global Access, United Vacations or UVN. They send out a postcard telling people that they have been selected to receive a free trip for coming out to a travel agency presentation. When the people call to set the appointment they are told that all they have to pay is the taxes an airline vouchers or the port charges if it's for the cruise. Once they get to the presentation they are being sold a travel club where they are pressured into spending around $7000.00 for a member ship to get discounts, thing is the discounts are found by a girl in an office that checks to see if cheap tickets or expedia would be cheaper there are no real discounts. This company is being investigated by Florida, and Oregon's Attorney generals. The company is owned by Nick, and Brandon Coughlin.
