Ramada Plaza Resorts Used Credit Card number to make additional Unauthorized Charges on account consumer fraud ripoff Ft. Lauderdale Florida

On May 16 I responded to a mailer offering a $1500 savings on a vacation package. They wanted a $600 deposit and said that it was a one time offer,but lowered the deposit to $125 and told me I had 18 months to check out the company and get a refund and that the offer was for 18 months to set a date to travel.

On May 20, 2003 $124 charge was processed on my Visa card. Two business days later.

Over the weekend May 17 I did a web search on Ramada Plaza Reports and this web site convinced me I had made a mistake so I called monday for a refund. They said my deposit was not refundable. Mexican standoff, I lose $125.

Now it gets even worse. I get a package US Postal Service May 27 posted May 23, 2003. This includes a contract printed on the back of Vouchers stating I must cancel this offer within 3 business days of May 16 or by May 21. 2003. This is clearly a case of using USPS to defraud people.

Now it gets worse. On June 20, 2003, R.P.R. makes another $375 charge on my credit card without any prior authorization on my part. If this isn't consumer fraud, what is? I cancelled the card when I read the statement. I hope M & I Bank, or Visa can
reverse this transaction.

I don't know how US Postal fraud division and various authorities governing credit cards can ignore such flagrant violations involving thousands of people. If I don't get some satisfaction, I am going to war with Ramada Plaza Resorts.
