Don't be a sucker like me—this company is a RIPOFF

This company truly is a ripoff. I fell for their scam in July and purchased a "dream vacation" for $700. I was told that I would receive a "Diamond Vacation Package" that included:
1) 4 days and 3 nights of deluxe accommodations in Orlando, Florida
2) My choice of two 1-day tickets to either Islands of Adventure of Universal Studios OR care rental with unlimited mileage for the entire vacation
3) 3 days and 2 nights of deluxed ocean front accommodations in Daytona Beach, Florida
4) A 3 day and 2 night cruise to exotic Nassau, Bahamas
In addition, I was being "given" two 2-for-1 air vouchers to use to get four of the five of our family to Orlando.
I did indeed receive a package of paperwork that stated exactly what I was told on the phone. The paperwork stated the phone number to call to book my reservations which matched the number I was given over the phone when I was sold the "dream vacation".
So... Here I am in May and I am ready to book my reservations. Guess what—I have called the number about six times and have been on hold for one hour on two occasions. The recording is very friendly and tells you that a travel rep will be with you momentarily. No one ever picks up the phone to book my reservations.
I tried the web address provided and there is no such web site. My next step was to send an email to see if I could reach anyone. Guess what? No host could be found for the email address provided—customercare@dreamvacations1.com.
So here I am with $700 less in my pocket and no one to contact regarding the scam. So I called Greg Ericksen's direct office line (813-983-7382) and all I get is a fast busy signal—such that you get when the phone line has been disconnected.
Don't be ripped off like I was—tell everyone you know about this dishonest company!
