I got sucked into agreeing to buy a "dream vacation". They wouldn't let me take the time to call my boyfriend, said that I had to pay for one of the tickets $698.00 over the phone or I would lose the vacation. I said that I didn't have the money on my visa, which is overdrawn. They put a man on the phone who assured me that they could get visa to put up the money... He got my visa info and put me on hold. He then came back on the line and told that visa had agreed to put up the money AT NO INTEREST! That I would be paying visa $58.00 a month until it was paid off.
I accepted all of this, my boyfriend was livid, and I was starting to wonder why visa would authorize money with no interest when I was over my limit... I phoned visa today and asked them to tell me why they would finance this with no interest... They informed me that no such call or transaction had taken place. Naturally I immediately cancelled my card.
They had actually put me on hold and pretended to talk to someone in the finance dept. At visa, came back and started blatantly lying to me. They completely compromised my card, I am so glad that I came accross this website, so I can share this experience. I talked to them last week and my sales person "Yolanda" was actually quite nice, albeit condesending at times, she did not mention time shares, and she did put alot of pressure on the sale. I am an intelligent woman, I didn't figure that they could get visa to finance the trip, so I said sure, go ahead and try... Thinking this will do them no good at all.
When they returned with the "Good News!" I was quite surprised and very nervous. Thank goodness I called today and didn't wait for money to start disapearing mysteriously. I know they are a scam, to what extent I have no idea. They lied to me about my VISA company... That's a pretty big lie... They never even called! Anyways, if you were unsure before about this company being a scam... Let me assure you... It is.
