This is odd.  I'm not involved in any way with the calls but a Wilco video was filmed by Michael Greene and Josh Wills.  When I google searched them I came to this.

Just got a missed call from this number.

I'm sorry, the web address is wethepeopleprovidence.us. I apologize for the error.

Here we are a year later, and Leisure time worldwide is at it again. Do they think we forgot that they are scam artists?? This time it was Christopher Michael Greene who was threatening us. This time, though, they gave us a web address of wethepeopleprovidence.com to go to for information. On going to this page, there is my name in big letters, and they are saying I am terrorizing them! Really? They also threatened to send someone to our home to collect. This is when I called the police. Someone needs to stop them. The phone number they are calling from this time is (561)674-7945.

I got that same phone call, same numbers, same threats. In fact Michael, you were the one that worked with me when I got scammed last year Sept 09 . You said that you were an attorney and that I would have been sent to collections and sued. I paid the $496, I feel like a fool now after reading what you said. I'm not sure what the reason was for you to leaving, but I'm glad you posted what you did. It sure seemed real to me, with the information they had and there agressive responses. And guess what, they just called me again - Nov 2010 saying I didn't fulfill my contract from Sept 09 and that I owe the remainder of the $1200. He said he was going to file criminal charges against me and my wife and sue us for the remainder, so with attorney fees I was looking at over $7000-9000 dollars or I could just pay him the remaining balance. I told him to sue me and hung up. I have since called the FBI and gave them all the info. They are going to look into it.

I received a call from the same number, and the same guy, eventually giving me his full name of Christopher Michael Green. He was representing Consumer Assistance Bureau as well, but also possibly semi-unthinkingly referring to himself as also representing First Class Travel Wise, giving me until the end of the day to pay off the balance of a package I had (foolishly) purchased from First Class Travel Wise almost three years prior from a Michael Guerra. None of the websites nor promotional materials look horrendously official. He threatened to send my case to his company's lawyers if I did not pay today, calling ME fraudulent, since I told him I do not have the funds. He also suddenly gave me until next Friday to pay half the balance when I told him that. We shall see what else happens. I hope this money-grubbing asshat gets taken down. I am keeping records and formulating a case if he actually goes through with his threats.

the company leisuretimeworldwide shut down in the beginning of january and now are operating with no licences

the email address they used before is leisuretimeaccounts@ymail.comm

Received calls from various people wanting to collect from me due to not satisfying the terms and conditions of a tour I had attended in Las Vegas in 2003/2004.  Either I pay them $1200+ or agree to go on another tour for $475, in which they will refund $400 after the tour is satisfied.  I asked for the terms and conditions, and they sent me via email the terms and conditions for the tour I would agree to attend. They threaten to send me to collections, which would ruin my credit score if I do not resolve the matter right then.  I hung up, and they called back several times and got louder each time.
Recently, I received a voice message from Vincent Moore claiming he's with Consumer Assistant Bureau wanting a call back at 1-866-930-9889 to resolve the matter for his client, Leisure Time World Wide.

I was also harrassed by these scumbags wanting to send me to collections and report me to the 3 credit agencies.  They wanted me to resolve the issue right then and there, and refused to send me anything by mail with their company letterhead.  I did some research and found that the company is not registered with any state agency as a business and was not able to locate them in Better Business Bureau.
 After reading the posts, apparently, our information was stolen either from the hotel in Las Vegas or the travel company that booked the tour back in 2003-2004.
 Recently received a call from a guy named, Vincent Moore with the Consumer Assistant Bureau wanting to resolve an issue for his client, Leisure Time WorldWide.  I wish someone could do something to stop these people.  Thanks for your posting.

I have been harrassed for the last six months from Leisure Time Worldwide and no Consumer Assistance Bureau. I have spoken with a Randall Duarte several times and I almost sent the money to get them off my back. I am glad I read these posts! I am going to report them to the attorney general in California. My experience is the same as others a trip back in 2003 which I did not comply with a package they offered. They asked for the same $496 and they would return $400 if I went to one of their time shares. I must admit, this guy Randall is a good actor but he apparantly is a fraud!

I received a call after 10:00pm on a Sunday night from a Michael Greene claiming to be with the Consumer Assistance Bureau on behalf of Liesure Time Travel World Wide in Lake City Florida.  The number came up as Private Caller.  They've been pestering me for a couple of months now over a bill they claim I owe from a stay in Vegas in 2002.  They upped the $400 and some bill to $586 now because they claim it costs more now that they had to involve this other company.  They've also told me that when they send it to collections that it will be a $1200.00 bill.  They threatened me with destroying my credit rating.  I contacted the RCMP Phone Busters this morning and they advised me not to pay.  They said that the company will have to hire a Canadian Lawyer to serve me with any papers and that there is no way they should be coming after us for a bill from 7 to 8 years ago.  I've received no writen notice of the bill in the mail, only via e-mail from CAB2010@ymail.com which appears to be an email address registered to Daniel Owsley Location: Calgary, Alberta, CA.  When I Googled him there is a website with his name listed in Florida for a Mortgage Broker site.  The e-mail they used last time was differnt and I don't have it with me right now.   Thank you all so much for posting.  It eased my mind to know I wasn't in this on my own.  I so much just want to ignore this and hope it goes away, but I decided to post also in case it helps any one else.  Also of note, in all the research I've done on these guys, I see a lot of posts on threats, but I haven't seen anyone post that they were actually collected from.  I've heard people say that they gave in and paid, but it doesn't look like any one that didn't pay actually got charged or collected from.  I'm going to be tough with them and see what happens.  If I do get charged I will post again to let you know.   Thank you again so much for your posts.

i've been getting these phone calls for the past few months and it's definitely a scam! please be careful! it's the same numbers that were mentioned above. someone needs to put a stop to these b*****ds!

JW,
I hope you didn't send them any money or give account number for payment. This is a total scam. Same thing happened to me. I got as much info as I could, gave them no personal information. This came from a card that my bank replaced when thousands of cards were compromised by security breach. This is the end result. In my case, bank had issued new cards with different numbers in case something like this occurred. Yes, they know just enough info to sound legit.
Best of Luck

Received a call from 1-424-214-0847 Identical call as has been reported --- -(2003-Las Vegas---owe $400.00 right now.)  Transferred to 'legal dep't.'  Joshua Mills--when told I would seek a legal opinion  they gave me 24 hours to comply.  Supposed to call back tonight.

Send this to the Leisure Time email contact.  Be prepared to follow-up and actually complain with the entities.  These jerks will stop their collection activities.




This is to inform you that I do not owe the referenced debt.  Please cease any and all current or future collection activity.


You are aware of the laws detailed in ?The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.?  I expect you will adhere to the laws to the letter.  If you continue to violate them, I will seek legal remedy.


Further, I have not seen a contract or any other written or oral agreement between myself and Leisure Time World-Wide or proof that you have sent collection letter to me in the past.  I view your attempt to collect this subject debt as a fraud and is a criminal act.


A copy of this email will be sent along with a formal complaint about your illegal collection activities to the following:
- Lowndes County District Attorney, 285 Norman Dr, Valdosta, GA 31603 ? (229) 244-7170
- Office of the Attorney General, 40 Capitol Square, SW, Atlanta, GA 30334 ? (404) 656-3300
- Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Response Center, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580
- Attorney General?s Office, California Department of Justice, Attn: Public Inquiry Unit, P.O. Box 944255, Sacramento, CA 94244-2550

Thank you.

Called at 8:55 pm on 11/17. We were harrassed, bullied and belittled. I then received an email from Joshua Mills. If we do the tour within 6 months we will get $400 of the $496 we owe back. We spoke with Michael Green- Supervisor. Leisure Time Legal. 888-210-2221 refused to give us his extension.
The 1st number they called from was 424-214-0847 and the second one was 352-672-8200.
Supposedly, this email is the same confirmation letter they sent me in 2003. I have no record of it.
They quoted the last 4 of my MasterCard (I no longer use it, I am only paying off the balance, it's closed)
They had all the names of my friends that went with us.
Part of me thinks it is a scam, but I don't know.
It appears that we can "clear it up" by signing this and paying the $496 and $400 will be refunded if we show up for the tour in 6 months. I spoke with 2 of my friends who went on the trip with us. They have not been contacted, yet the man brought up their names.
We were threatened with criminal charges, being sued and being sent to collections.

Just got a call tonight from a Peter Dawsen.  Claimed that we failed to visit 2 of their resorts in 2004.  He knew we had an American Express card that we used but only was able to give out the last 4 numbers.  Stated unless I gave him $496.00 over the phone I would be sent to collections.  I hung up on him & he called me right back from 818-572-4304.  He said that I could call him back @ 888-210-2221.  After we said that we'd have our attorney call him he hung up ... go figure ... sounds like a scam !!!

Thanks for the info on Leisure Time Worldwide scam. Someone's apparently using their company's name!! Tonight I had a scary phone call that came up as Austin (TX) and an 512 area code. Thinking it was my son from Austin, I picked up.

The same man you identified said that I owed $496 from an old trip that I never completed a tour on. (from 2002!!!) He said he was recording the message and I'd better pay up as it would go to collections tomorrow morning.

I told them I needed all info for my daughter who's an attorney (true) and I'm a teacher. They hung up fast, called right back, louder. They said if I'd take that trip (pay first the $496) they'd refund the $400. That's when I knew it was a scam. I kept asking for visa number they claimed to have, wrote dates, address, phone (different from Austin). This place was in GA they said. Phoning was from Austin, TX.

Then, because I wasn't cooperating, the supervisior Randell Duarte got on the phone and loudly started on me. He said that if the phone disconnected again, I couldn't stop a negative credit report. I stopped him there (loudly!) and said that the conversation was over until I called them. (don't plan to do)

The card number they used was an old bank card that I never used for a trip. It was cancelled a long time ago by my bank due to the numbers of many thousands of bank members that were stolen. I suspect this is one of the backlashes. They had a "bit" of personal info on me, just enough to sound believeable.

I offered no info, no card numbers, nothing they could use. They ended up calling about 3 more times in a row, which at that point, I ignored. I'll call my bank tomorrow to report it. Kind of scary to think of how many consumers are going to go through stuff like this due to compromised numbers.

Beware picking up messages from unknown phone numbers. Wish I hadn't. I'll also call Attorney General, Better Business Bureau tomorrow. Keep calm, offer no info, get the card number and call your card services. These people need to be stopped. They didn't want to give me the whole number, just last digits, but I made sure they finally did.

Hope this helps someone be ready when the phone rings. Good Grief--how sad.
Thanks for the info, again.

This number is from a scam company called Leisure Time Worldwide. Do not talk to them-hang up immediately if they call you. They will threaten you with collections, and want you to give them a credit card number. Don't fall for it!They will tell you they have all your information, but they do not, so don't give them any! Some of the names they use are Randall Duarte and Eric or Harry Goldstein. We were able to get a lot of information out of them tonight by pretending to go along with their scam, and we will be reporting everything we have to our state's attorney in the morning.

All the same:  1-229-380-3974, 1-888-210-2221, 1-877-429-9990, 1-386-438-9087, 1-702-421-7510, 1-972-220-8594

Names:  Eric Goldstein, Randall Duarte, Steve Cox, Joshua Mills, Michael Guerra, Michael Anderson, Stephanie Partin

All these numbers are used by the same scam.  Note, the price you "have to pay" goes up over the years.  Don't give them any info, definitely don't give them your credit card number, hang up on them whenever you want.  They can't hurt your credit, or sue you, or anything else they threaten.

This entry said it all:

Michael - 30 Oct 2009
(replying to Kate - 5 Oct 2009's entry right above it)

This Mr. Tomas from Leisure Time Worldwide, which is the same company First Class Travel Wise also known FCTW.  They say they will send your account to collections, but they can't.  They do not have proof to do any of these actions.  People need to be warned.  They have over 25,000 different names and numbers to call.  They have all your info like your address, credit card number, and name!!  But do not believe them; they are lying to you.  There is no Micheal Anderson; that is not the director's name; he lies to all of you.  He uses the names Michael Anderson, Michael Mann, and many more, but those are his main names.  The company is based out of Georgia but they really operate in Lake City, Florida.  We do use Georgia numbers 229-380-8974.  It's a Magic Jack phone plugged in to a computer that works off the internet; so it has there a Georgia number so they can say there in Georgia.  The 1-888-210-2221 toll free number is forwarded to a phone registered in Lake City, Fl and it sometimes is forwarded to a cell phone.  Used to be my cell phone but not any more.  For anybody I have spoken to in the past I do apologize.  But people -- do not accept the resolution they are offering.  I can not reveal much more information than this to protect myself from a lawsuit.  But do hang up on them.  If you did resolve, then do what you have to to fix your error in judgment.  I do again apologize; I no longer work for this company.

just got called , same story about a trip to vegas in 2004.this scumbag must have stolen records from the agency that i booked the trip through.i am glad i told him to go f--- himself.My suspicions arose when i asked him to mail me documents so i could have my lawyer look at them. This parasite is nothing but a miserable lowlife who will certainly find some gullible naive people that are going to send him money so he can continue to feed his drug habit.I wish we still lived in the old days, a public flogging would be more than appropriate.

I received a second call last night, 10/29/09 at 8:50 PM from Leisure Time Worldwide. I promptly hung up. The call last night came from 818-572-4305. As soon as they identified themselves as being with leisure time world wide I recalled the conversation I had on 10/9/09 from 229-380-3974 when I spoke with both Andrew Anderson and Randall Duart who claimed I owed them nearly $500.00 for not attending their timeshare show and wanted me to pay them to prevent collections of triple the amount. They said I stayed at Buffalo Bill's in Primm, NV on Sept. 29, 2004 and they had the last 4 #'s and exp. date of an old credit card and my email and street address. They even mentioned the name of my travel partner. They gave me a call back # of 888-210-2221. I reported them to the Federal Trade Commission on October 9th, the first time they called. What a scam!

One month ago,I received a phone call from a person who claimed that based on their record I made a trip to Las Vegas back in 2004, November 13 2009(which I never took at the time he mentioned) and stayed there for half a day. According to him, I signed some legal document that entitled me to go to other resorts in US and he demanded me to make a payment or will report to credit bureau. Apparently they know my mailing address as well as my email address and my old credit card number (wonder how they did it. They probably had some rummage thru my shredded credit card statement I believe.The person called with poor phone etiquette that aroused my suspicion. Being suspicious of the nature of the call, When I tried to ask them their company name and that contact number, he was hesitant and the name he gave was Leisure Time worldwide and their contact number was 888-210-2220. He also said his name was James. He later transferred the call to his "manager",and he was basically reading some statements off from the statement and demanded me to make a payment and he said he would send me email for confirmation (which I never received). I sensed there was something wrong so I immediately hanged off the phone. They called me several times with the number 12293808974. I did a phone number lookup online and found out it was coming from a cell phone at Americus, Georgia. I googled more info about Leisure Time Worldwide and there was no company listed with that name. The closest one is leisuretimepassport.com and their contact number 800-977-7116 does not match with what the person told me 888-210-2220.

Today I just received a call again from the same company "Leisure Time Worldwide"; and telling me the same thing about the alleged trip I took to Las Vegas back in 2004 and requested for payment. I asked them to provide me their company address and website and the number to reach them back, but they refused and threatened they will report to Credit Bureau. The number that showed up on my cell phone was 678-954-8518. I traced number an found out the source is from Atlanta, Georgia.
I immediately filed a report to FBI and have yet to hear from them.

what hotel did you stay at?  i was at the sarrah.

same as above; card had been canx years ago. i contacted the police.  i have tried to call them back and only get voice mail or busy tone.

Same as above.  Got a call from Peter Dawson at Leisure Time Worldwide about a trip I did back in 2004.  Started threatening me that my account was going to collections, so I told him to take a hike.  Was asking if I cared about my credit, blah, blah, blah.  Called my credit card company as this was a credit card # that had been changed previously due to a security breach, and provided them the Caller ID and toll free number "Peter" gave.

Idiots...

We received a call from Leisure Time Worldwide telling us that when my husband and his brother stayed in Las Vegas in 2003, they did not follow though on their agreement to participate in a timeshare presentation.  Therefore, in order to avoid having this matter sent to a collection agency as a "bad debt," which would be reflected in our credit score, and thereby assure us of higher interest rates on credit cards and a lower overall rating for a period of at least seven years, we should pay them $496 immediately.  They gave us a fax number (386-935-2190) to use and said we could put it on the same Master Card we had used in 2003.  They stated the last four numbers of that card.

They reassured us that if in the next two weeks we attended another presentation at one of their 70 sites, we would receive $400 back and two nights lodging gratis.  

I don't remember the name of the first person I talked to; however, his supervisor was Michael Thompson and he told me he was sending me the information to review via email from Joshua Miller, and I should call Michael within two hours at 888-210-2221 if I had any questions.  We sounded like "nice, responsible people", and he didn't want our credit ruined.

I thought perhaps my husband had signed some package that had this caveat, although he was certain he had not.  Fortunately, I googled Leisure Time Worldwide (contained in quotes) and read Kate's experience.  Being able to confirm that this was a scam was a great relief.  Thank you!!
