www.stopscams.info

Okay every one, these guys have new names and new numbers and they are threatening new consumers as much as ever. Here is a new web site designed especially for us consumers to collectively decide what we each want to do about the people who scam us. Give me time to get it organized. Look through the site I have allot of information that I have collected on First Class Travel Wise / First Class Cruise Vacations, Inc. i.e., C Greene, and it is a start.

http://wiki.stopscams.info/index.php?title=Main_Page and http://wiki.stopscams.info/index.php?title=First_Class_Travel_Wise

Please, if you want to stop these guys, you must file on-line or off-line with the Better Business Bureau (http://www.seflorida.bbb.org/BusinessReport.aspx?CompanyID=9002124 or http://www.seflorida.bbb.org/BusinessReport.aspx?CompanyID=92012243) and then with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (http://app1.800helpfla.com/cswebcomplaints/FileComplaint.aspx license number ST36484). I have been investigating these companies and have acquired a lot of information on them. They seem to know how the BBB works and appear to constantly work on getting their rating above F. I have watched their rating change as many as 5 times in one day. Adding your complaint to the BBB may help slow them down. They may insist on handling it outside of BBB, but I would keep it inside of the BBB so they can see what these companies are doing.
The second thing these companies seem to be doing, is pursuing new groups of innocent victims. I have had all of the contacts from these companies listed here contact me demanding payment. They have already accused me of acting fraudulently and told me that I would be turned into collections back in November. I think they know they can get into trouble by submitting these things to collections, because they still haven?t submitted my so called account to anyone.
I think it is so sad that so many people are paying off these companies and hope others will help fight back and aid the authorities in shutting them down. If you need any help contact me at flintwindsor@gmail.com.

On January 7th, 2009 at 10:09 pm D Jones said Lawsuit and BBB my butt; they?re crooks. I cribbed the below statute from a Cornell Univ. website; sounds like it fits. Also, the FBI website (fbi.gov) says they?re very interested in such things:

US Code Title 18.1343. Fraud by wire, radio, or television

Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, or television communication in interstate or foreign commerce, any writings, signs, signals, pictures, or sounds for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. If the violation affects a financial institution, such person shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both.

On January 9th, 2009 at 6:46 pm flintwindsor said Hooray, It?s working, the BBB is finally wise to these guys and posted the following today! on their BBB site, I guess Chris Greene and his buddies are going to have to threaten to sue the BBB now, they have threatened everybody else.

This number belongs to a Christopher M Greene, Coral Springs, Florida also Boca Raton, Florida. THIS IS A SCAM. Make a complaint to the BBB immediatly if persons from this number tries to contact you. They currently have a D and F rating with the BBB. Also make a complaint to the Florida Dept of Agriculture and Consumer Services @ 850 488 2221.
Companies associated with this number is First Class Cruise Vacations, Inc and First Class Travel Wise and ETC......DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION. They CANNOT ruin your credit! They are a FRAUD, a SCAM.

We received the same phone call, and denied it all. The fact they wouldn't send a bill or documentation was a red flag.  It was believable and frightening since they had all our information.  We filed complaints with every agency we could. We could not find record of the dates they said we stayed in Las Vegas, so wrote to the hotel for help.  The hotel verified that the trip actually happened a YEAR before Travel Wise told us, and the reservation was paid thru Leisure Time Travel.  The Riviera thinks that someone may have confiscated some information from the Travel Time data base.  They suggest contacting your local district attorney or scam dept. to file formal complaints.  FILE COMPLAINTS--THIS IS A SCAM!

I have received two calls from this number, on 7/24/08 and 10/29/08.  The first time it was a female calling; the second time a male, both somewhat rude and threatening to refer to "collections".  Both individuals tried to extort money from me, alleging that I agreed to take a trip within a period of time following a time share presentation I attended in Las Vegas in May 2004.  Supposedly, since I did not take the trip, I now had to pay for it.  Right!  Both parties said this was in the "terms and conditions" that I signed, but refused to mail me a copy of the paperwork.  Afraid of mail fraud maybe?  They offered to e-mail me the info, but I did not give them my e-mail address.

I have received 2 calls from 216-759-4482, 1 call from 626-692-7525 and most recently 1 call from 404-856-9336. All calls deal with a 2004 stay in Vegas. These scam artists seem determined to get information and are using scare tactics. I have been quite rude to them but they keep calling. Other than changing my phone number and becoming unlisted, I have no idea how to deal with these parasitic pests.

Got the same time share package due crap you guys got. But mine is from 2003. He knew we stayed at the Royal in Vegas for their presentation. Guess someone hacked into the computers there.  Had my cell phone number too. Also called from 480-319-9960. Unfortunately, the police say they can't do anything since they are just phishing. No crime committed yet so we have to put up with these annoying rude scam artists. You would think someone would want to do a sting operation and catch these people. Reverse look up says they're in AZ.  With the sims cards now the police could actually locate the caller via satelite but that would be asking for too much. After all they haven't done anything wrong.  YET.

I spoke with someone about a month ago, not sure if it was the same number that called me then or not, but it was the same "back end" package from Vegas from May 2004.  We stayed at the Stardust for our honeymoon, did the 1 hr timeshare presentation while we were there, etc...
They never did email me the requested documentation and told me that I would be hearing from their attorney.
I did not answer this call as I didn't recognise the number...

Same thing here.  Got a call from a very rude person who informed me that I owed them money for the back end of a time share presentation in vegas back in 2004.  I told him I did not believe him and hung up.  A few minutes later I received a phone call from 216-759-4482.  This was a different person who was rude and threatening and I cussed him out and hung up.  Must be some sort of scam going on to get credit card numbers.  When I called the number back the mail boxes were full!!

Called my cell but I did not reach it in time. Did not recognize the number so I looked it up...and here I am now...

Had the exact same experience.  They called claiming we owed the rest of a payment for a time share trip we supposedly did 4 years ago.  The used the last two digits of a card which we did not own for almost 3 years.  I asked for notification in writing of whom it was who claimed we owed money to, the terms and agreement etc.  They said they could only send it in email or text message!  I insisted and the caller beligerently told me it was a courtesy call and I could talk to one of their collection agents.  Would not send anything by mail (which I am sure would be considered mail fraud) and said anything in writing would be the collection notice. After several attempts to insist on a written notification I got tired of the rude and aggressive behavior and hung up.  The caller called back and I did not answer.  I will be contacting my local DA tomorrow and seeing what other avenues are available to me to go after them.  I'd hate to be some old person who could be easily intimidated!

Received a call claiming that I owed them $433.00 for not completing a package deal. They say I didn't complete the "back door part of the deal".  In 2005 I booked a room through an agency at Las Vegas.  We were to see a 30 minute video regarding the future of Las Vegas.  Expansion, entertainment, etc.  I said "this is not a time share thing is it" his reply was "oh, no, just information about Las Vegas.  It was a time share.  Tonight when they called I said to send me the document that I had signed and hung up.  They called 3 times, each time I said to take me to court.  We are going to call our local DA.

This is a add on to other post. I tried to call this number to verify who was calling and no one is there just a answering machine. The person I talked to on the first call was threating to take me court for money he claimed I owned by not completing a seminar in las vegas. He was very much preasuring me for credit card number. And no he did not get one.

Keeps calling, but hangs up when we answer.

i received a call from this number..  no one there.

Called and then hung up. Tried to call and got hung up on. NO answer.

Called and stayed on the line without speaking
