Andre Muran, Chateau World, Kim Schram, RCI deceptive marketing tactics, breaches to the Fair Trading Act, Avoiding phone calls Edmonton, Calgary, Canmore Alberta Canada

Signed up because I was told I had 10 days to cancel if I changed my mind.

I did change my mind and have been trying to call for 3 weeks now. They will not answer the phone. So, it seems I am out $1200 and I have no idea how to even get these people on the phone to fix it.

Now, searching the web for information I have found out that the list of scam victims, charges etc. associated with this company is as long as your arm!

Before you sign up with Chateau World, do research! Here are a few links to some of the information I have found.
