I received a phone call one april morning of 2009 from an unknown area code. Normally, I do not answer these types of phone calls. This day however, I answered, and it was a woman saying that I won a free trip through their company because I made a purchase with one of their marketing companies via my debit card.
I asked the normal precautious questions such as how did this happen, since I never signed up for this, and what is the catch. What will happen from here? She told me a little more about the program and then directed me to another gentleman that was supposed to be giving me a password that I could use if I were to call back to cancel my free trial. He read me my routing number to my bank, so I assumed that the call was legit and that it was ok to give him my account number. I had planned on canceling when i got the package, for I just wanted the free trip that I was told about over the phone.
About a week later I received am envelope in the mail from this company. I opened it, and read how much would be charged to my account each month after the free trial, and it did not seem like something that I wanted to be a member of, so i attempted to call both numbers that I was given during the phone call and in the package I received. Both had a man speaking in a recording about busy representatives yet I never got through to one.
The fishy part to me is the fact that their hours are only mon-fri 10 am to 5pm. When normally places of this nature are open 24/7. Now I am afraid that random masses of money will end up missing from my account, when I do not make that much to begin with.

This same thing happened to my son this month. How do they know the routing numbers???? This really makes me angry that people get away with this. I am worried too that more money will be taken because there was another report claimed against World Wide Travelers on this site where he has to-date been taken for over $350!!!!! We just discovered this today and if we have to, we will close the account. Would love to get our money back, but it doesn't look good. Go to the other report and read...he has made MANY phone calls to no aveil. The report number to read it is 436406.
I am going to file this with the Better Business Bureau!! You should too...the more reports they get, they may act on it. Good Luck!!

" I had planned on canceling when i got the package, for I just wanted the free trip that I was told about over the phone."
Scammers can't survive without the greed of the victim. As long as people think they can get something for nothing, there will always be plenty of business for scammers. Rather than turning the tables on them and getting a free trip, they saw you coming a mile away. As long as you keep believing that actual free vacations will magically come from anonymous phone calls, you'll be a scammer's target. You say that you asked questions about how this free trip offer (that you never signed up for) came about, but it doesn't sound like you listened very carefully to the answers.

If you are going to go to the trouble of filing a ROR why not describe exactly what your problem is? First you won some sort of free trip. Then you are involved in some sort of free trial. You gave your account information to someone for what?
Why don't you tell us why you don't like World Wide Travellers Club? What happened with the free trip? What was in the envelope?
