El BBB® Alerta Acerca de Compañía Que Atrae Víctimas con Boletos Aéreos Gratis Falsos |
BBB® Warns of a Business Luring Victims with Fake, Free Plane Tickets Pensacola, Fla. – Consumers nationwide, including northwest Florida, are receiving letters stating that they have won two round-trip tickets courtesy of American Airlines or US Airlines with a retail value of up to $1,298. US Airlines is not a real company, and this letter is not from the real American Airlines. Recipients of the letter are encouraged to call a provided number and then invited to attend a presentation. Upon arrival at the presentation, attendees discover the meeting is not hosted by American Airlines or US Airlines, but a travel package agency. Documents acquired by BBB indicate the Daytona, Florida firm behind this promotion has numerous complaints filed against them with the Better Business Bureau. BBB tips for purchasing a travel package:• Find out exactly what the package contains in terms of transportation and accommodations and for how many people • How much money must be given as a deposit, if the deposit is refundable, and how much is later required. • Get the name of the hotel, personally confirm all reservations, and get written verification. • Before you decide to accept this type of offer do comparative shopping with a local travel agency before making your final decision. Companies that offer this type of service in Florida are required to be registered with the Sellers of Travel Act at 800-435-7352. • Do not be pressured by any company to give an immediate decision or to give your cash, check, or credit card number until you are satisfied.
