International Travel Connection, Smart Marketing (Brandon Craig), advertising arm for International Travel Connections that sells travel web sites, has stolen my company's identity to legitimize themselves and steal thousands of $'s from consumers. New York, New York; Portland, Oregon

Ever heard of International Travel Connection and Smart Marketing (Brandon Craig & company)? Do not give them any money.

ITC will build you a web site alright. Smart Marketing then contacts you to sell you advertising to get traffic to your web site. In the end, no one ever comes to your web site, you never sell a thing, and these two companies take you for thousands of dollars.

When you start to complain, they will stop calling you back, or if they do call you, they will offer to "make it up to you" by selling you even more advertising. There are many people who apparently work for "Smart Marketing" and you will be shuffled around until the 90 days that you have to ask for your money back from your credit card company has passed.

I am the real owner of Smart Marketing, Inc., a marketing consulting company that does corporate brand analysis and writes marketing plans out of home office in Tigard, Oregon, a suburb of Portland, Oregon. I am a one woman show that has nothing to do with building or advertising web sites in the travel industry. Brandon Craig & company use my company name, address and Better Business Bureau rating to legitimize themselves to people all over the United States. I've heard from five different people who collectively have lost upwards of $50,000 to these people.

So, if you ever hear of International Travel Connection, Smart Marketing or Brandon Craig, run, don't walk away from these people. If you have already given them money, report them to the Federal Trade Commission and the Arizona and Oregon Attorney Generals. We can't shut these guys down without a collective effort with law enforcement.
