Vacation Reservation Center

Free vacations - too good to be true!
Complaint Rating:  80 % with 5 votes
I received a phone call yesterday from Vacation Reservation Center. The man's name was Francis O'Neal. He was giving me 3 free vacations... One to the Bahamas, one to Orlando, and one to Williamsburg, Va. I could bring up to 5 people. Sounds good so far...

He told me that they were in business for 25 years and they were legit... It was a time share and I would have to sit and listen to their presentation for about 20 minutes. Not a problem??

It sounded too good to be true... At the end of the conversation, he asked for my credit card #... He said he needed it to reserve my reservation... $198. I was told I would receive the money back when I arrived at my destinations... $98 refund in the Bahamas, and $98 refund in Williamsburg... I refused to give my credit card# and told him I needed to discuss this with my husband. I asked for his phone # and of course he wouldn't give it to me... He said he would call me back in a few days. The number on my caller i.d. is 1-866-840-7336... When I called the number, I received a recording say that the number was not valid... I don't know if it can somehow be traced...

Good luck with the phone number...
Gerri.

I received several phone calls from the same 1-866-840-7336 number within minutes after each other. This in itself was suspicious. After finally answering I patiently listened to a female offer me the same great deals as the ones mentioned above. After she finished with her pitch (I always allow them to finish because I do realize for most people it is a job) I respectfully declined the offer and was asked to be put on their "do not call" list. The female on the other end became infuriated with me for this and suggested I not go to anymore web-sites and put in my information, after this she hung up in my ear. I don't know whether or not this was a legit call but I did call the number back and it just rang with no answer. I would be more inclined to believe that it was a hoax because of the calls within minutes of each other and the unprofessionalism of the customer service female. I don't suggest anyone accept any offer from the number 1-866-840-7336, you might be sorry.

Seems like something is not right with this company... Vacation Reservation Center didn't like the idea of me talking with my husband first and pushed that they were only offering it to 22 people and 17 have already been sold... I did get some numbers though 1 866 301 7936 (donna) and 1888 838 3033 (robert williams)

I actually accepted this same exact vacation. My husband, myself and my 2 kids went to the Bahamas and Orlando over the winter. I received $99 back after touring the timeshare in the Bahamas (which I didn't buy) and both the Bahamas and Orlando were wonderful! It was a pain going through the timeshare tours, however for $198 to go to the Bahamas for 4 night and Orlando for 3 nights you can't beat it! Plus you get your money refunded!

I found out this company is A SCAM.I cancelled they charged my credit card. Now they say I called back and renewed my package. Even tried to charge me five dollars for the call. I am fighting them through my credit card but I don't know if i will win.

It seems to me from reading these complaints that the only people complaining are the people who didn't buy the vacation. I'm sure they probably sold hundreds of those vacations, and i don't see anyone listed who complained about buying the vacation and being scammed. I didn't buy from this company but have gone on vacations thru similar time share companies. Doing the 90 min. presentation was a little trying, but when it was all said and done, I know I was able to save hundreds of dollars by not having to pay hotel cost and that alone allowed us to do more things than we would normally have been able to afford to do. I would say if you didn't buy it, why bother to complain?

This must be anothar Jonathan Owens trick of North San Diego! I am absolutely sure he runs Candian Pharmacy Scam. I didn't notice that he also run this. He often rang my number with "Congratulations! You have won free holidays in bahamas!" I can trace him to this;
