Horizon Travel / TCI Travel agency scam Ripoff Salem New Hampshire

We also were scammed by Horizon Travel/ aka TCI in Salem NH in August 2006. We paid $4,995.00 for this membership which included 2 weeks of condo usage per year. We won a so called trip for 3 days 2 nights to either Cancun, Orlando Florida or Las Vegas. We sent in a check for $100.00 for this trip and have not heard from the company. We also booked a hotel in Boston Mass. in November, had to pay the full amount and are still waiting for the discount. My husband has called the company many times, either they gave him a run around or no answer or answering machine saying they would return our phone calls. My husband recieved a phone call today (3/1/07) from a person claiming he was a consumer relations representative from TCI...phone number was 602-438-6526,(when I did a reverse phone number look up on the internet, it came up as TCI in Tempe Arizona). However when I called the number back, no one answered. This person told my husband that they were no longer associated with Horizon Travel. He said that they only charge $175 per year for a membership and not the astronomical amount we paid. He said that they never recieved any of this money from Horizon and said if we still wanted to be members they would remiburse us the money we were waiting for (the $128 from the hotel booking). We sent a complaint report to our NH attorney generals office, and will also be sending this information to Hank Phillipp Ryan, a news reporter from Channel 7 news in Boston Mass. She investigates these types of scams. We need to unite on this and get this company and stop it before they scam others. You can read my complaint on www.thesqueakywheel.com and contact me through that.
