Go Ahead Tours - Fraud and cheating!
I went on a group tour with Go Ahead Tours. We were already in Europe and booked a 5 day Paris excursion. Based on the expensive rate we paid, our expectations were for deluxe accommodations. What we got was a student tour. The hotel was on the outskirts of Paris, so you had to use the Metro (40 minute minimum to town) or a taxi (30 Euro minimum). It also...

Have you ever heard of losing you deeded week even after you have paid for the yearly maintenance fee as well as the collection fee (another 50%)? Does this sound reasonable? It sounds very fraudulent to me. Now that I have paid for the yearly maintenance fee, my "deeded" week is still in a forfeited status. After trying to resolve the issue with the...

With spring vacation nearing, I would like to warn all American who are traveling to Mexico to stay away from the Mexican Timeshare scam.

We consented to a 90 minute presentation that lasted 4 hours and consented to their vacation plan while in Playa del Carmen Mexico.

Buyers beware. Lots of other...

We bought this time share 11/11/06. We tried to cancel the contract within the recession period & was told we can but will lose all our deposit.

Upon coming home in the U.S., we...

I received a phone call telling me I was eligible for various free offers, including $400 in airfare, which as someone who will be visiting Canada soon and is on a very low budget, interested me but also made me a bit suspicious. The salesperson was extremely pushy and wouldn't take no for an answer. They told me there was an ongoing commitment ($150 up...
