Ramada Plaza Resorts Orlando Fort Lauderdale Vacations DISGUSTED EX-EMPLOYEE Fort Lauderdale Florida

Scott-
I just recently learned of this scam when I tried to re-sell the package to try to re-coop some of the money. I am hoping that you could let me know what you are suggesting to others to get a refund, if that's possible.

More info please...

I haven't however taken the vacation yet but would like to have my money returned. You said you knew how to do this. Can you please help. I am on a small budget and cannot afford to lose this kind of money on a scam.

Scott,

Thanks for your assisting those of us who are in need of help on this matter. I am interested to know what steps I can take. I have already sent two faxes to Dan Lambert and one to Leslie Maynard within a week period. I have not received responses. Is there anything else I can do in the meantime?

I, too, went on the hell trip (Feb 2002) - and came back determined and angry to get back the money I wasted!

I sent a lengthy rip-off report (which is posted on this site) to my Attny General Richard Blumenthal and the Commissioner of the Florida Department of Consumer Services Mr Charles H Bronson and, of course, Ramada Plaza Resorts.

I did get $1200 which is better than nothing!!! They refunded me the initial trip charges of $598 per person. I am thrilled and have been sharing the information and hopefully you can have the same luck I did. Hey - I got this all done within a MONTH!

I want more than anything for this company to be taken down. I am hoping that the more of us that right these agencies - the better chance we have of them being disposed of.

Ramada Plaza Resorts victims...

After reading all these reports, and Scott's comments on Ramada, I also was contacted by phone, and by mail, by these people. I work for the US Postal Service, so I got in touch with the Postal Inpection Service, for the Ft Lauderdale- Miami area. I am sending a copy of the mailing to one of the inspectors, and suggest that anyone wanting to have this scam investigated do the same.

Scott-
I just recently learned of this scam when I tried to re-sell the package on ebay to try to re-coop some of the money (I believed it to be real until another victim e-mailed me regarding the auction and her struggle to get a refund). Since I have no desire to Scam anyone else, I cancelled the auction! I am hoping that you could let me know what you are suggesting to others to get a refund, if that's possible. I feel like a complete idiot for falling for this. I had just lost my job of 20 years due to downsizing and thought I was getting a real bargain-doh! Can you give me some advice?
Thanks!

scott,

please help me get a refund. We are supposed to go on this ripoff of a trip on July 17th. We have put in close to 1500.00 and we just found out what a joke it is. If you can respond quickly so I can act quickly it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Dear Scott, I have just read your report saying youare an ex-employee and you know how I can get my money back. I was presured over the phone, un-able to contact my husband or I would lose my trip, lied to by Tom White ID#0084 when my trip was sold to me, I have been refused a refund by the company, and caprice ID#4044, hung-up on my while trying to receive information. i cannot aford to be out the $1000.00can, that this has cost me alresdy and I can't afford a lawyer. I have read that if you contact the attorny generals office, they will help, but I'm from canada, and have no address at which to contact them. Please reply and give me any information you can on how to get my money back.
