This is the worst investment I've ever made. It was a fraudulent transaction. Adam Santangelo was the sales representative who completed this transaction with me back in November 2003, promising vacation opportunities for (2) generations. We never had the opportunity to take a vacation, however, we attempted to book flight & hotel accomodations a few times, with the results being a couple dollars less than Travelocity. The company is now out of business and a new company has taken over called Castaways -- the services of which are nowhere near what Adam promised. We spent $4,000 on this -- not a dollar of which has been realized. This situation would undoubtedly warrant a class action lawsuit if all those affected banded together. This company and their products are a SCAM.

Thank you,

The company is now out of business and a new company has taken over called Castaways -- the services of which are nowhere near what Adam promised -- plus they charge $200 per year to maintain the membership. We spent $4,000 on this -- not a dollar of which has been realized. This situation would undoubtedly warrant a class action lawsuit if all those affected banded together.
