Las Palmas Travel Network Play de las Palmas I joined the exchange company adn was awarded one 7 day vacation in Tahiti including return flight for 2 people and accommodations and one 2 day vacation. When I called them to book the Tahiti Vacation, the US 1 800 number was no longer in service. I went to their website and clicked on contact adn recieved a 404 message saying that the content was no longer available or had moved Play del Coco, Guanacaste Costa Rica Guanacaste, CR

I attended a time share presentation at teh Pas Palmas resort while in Playa del Coco, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. I did not purchase a time share, but was offered a membership to ther exclusive travel exchange programme. I was also offfered a 1 week resort vacation and return flight for two to any destination which included their resort properties. I requested Tahiti and was shown a selection of resorts and was informed that my flights and resort would be guarnateed provided that I booked 6 months in advance. The price that I paid for the lifetime membership was $2,799.00 US, which was less than the flights and resort, so I agreed to the conditions.

However, when I went to book the vacation, neither the website, nor the 1800 number are functioning. I do have 2 numbers in Costa Rica, telephone (506) 2670-0357 and FAX (506) 2670-0336, but it is highly unlikely that either are working as it appears that this company has vanished, leaving only a bogus webiste on the net.  The Agent who I purchased from is Brett Williams, a US citizen and at the time wasliving in Costa Rica.

If there is any way that you can be of assistance and investigate this fraudulent company so that I may recieve compensation from them, I would be very grateful.
