Gender Unfriendly - False Advertising
I responded to a mailing that offered 2 Plane Tickets in exchange for attending a "pitch" on their travel services. Although I called immediately, there were no appointsments available. I was told I would have to call back on a specific date to get a new appt. The 800 # is serviced by a company in Arizona that is a called center hired by them and given the parameters of what they can an dcan not do. I was advised that the idea is to force you to a sooner appt to make a sale and so they get paid for appts. I was also told that they just don't want alot of appts for single women and do not give them many to set up. I was also told that single women just don't buy vacations like single men or couples.
Their mailing does not advise that there will be limited appts. They qualified me and I met all of the qualifications and far exceeded some and yet the fact that I am a single woman prohibited me from getting an appt. In addition, they claim they want a person of a certain income but any person of a truly solid income might not be able to breakaway from gainful employment on 24-48 hours notice. I question whether they are just targeting those that may not have more substantial means. In addition, i think there is reason to believe that this group might be more attracted by the "promise" and more intimidated by the hard sell.
It is my personal opinion that buyers should beware if these are their tactics.
