Wasted my time with a bogus presentation in exchange for "free" airline tickets for which they required a $100 'deposit'

I was contacted 3 times to attend a 'travel' presentation in exchange for free airline tickets. Being familiar with legitimate 'headhunter' techniques to fill presentations, I was willing to invest my time, if the resulting reward was worth it.in this case, it was not legitimate.in past presentations, I was given my reward immediately upon the conclusion of the presentation, in the form of actual tickets or 'passes'. This time I was handed an "Activation Form", which required that I mail a $100 "refundable" deposit with the form to receive my tickets.

I have paid heed to warnings to not part with my cash up front to get anything 'too good to believe', so I did not mail the $100 or the form. I am only out for the time I wasted at the 'hard sell' presentation. But my time, and gasoline, is valuable to me, and I'm annoyed that a company using a practice that is employed, in good faith, by other travel venues has exploited me and countless others in this era when the middle class is searching for ways to save money. I feel compassion for anyone who 'fell' for the high-pressure on site to buy into a time-share or travel package, but any loss at all deserves to be labeled a 'ripoff'.
