Excellent Post and your information is great.  From this it is easy to do an online reverse address search to find this persons home address and home telephone number in Houston, TX.  This is a scam that needs to stop.

Here is another post I put on Ripoff Report.  Please post there as well:  http://www.ripoffreport.com/tci-travel-consultan/travel-services/internet-internet-19fdc.htm

Thank You,

Hi, my father recently got scammed by the same company. I did some research and m in the process of filing a criminal complaint and a civilsuit. I would like to share the info i have aquired. After checking the Harris County TX Public DBA Records i found all of these dba records registered for the same address. I was able to confirm this because my father was sent a check with one of these companies name and address. you can verify this information at http://www.cclerk.hctx.net/applications/websearch/AN.aspx. You can also aquire further info looking at this gentleman's Civil and Criminal Court Records at http://www.hcdistrictclerk.com/edocs/public/search.aspx just use the name below. Again all of these records are public and the gentleman has quite a wrap sheet. Hopes this helps

This is devastating! We too received a fax 7/12/11 advertising exceptional travel savings. 8 days/7 nights Luxury Hawaiian Condo Resort (companion fare) for $199.98per person airfare included.  American Travel was the company we were in contact with initially to take advantage of the Hawaii offer for our family of 10 during Christmas vacation.  We were told that they could make our travel arrangements for Dec. 26, 2011 - Dec. 31, 2011.  Our representative was Charles Davidson.  We asked how could a trip like this be so inexpensive, his reply was that these packages are the leftover packages that Fortune 500 companies purchased for their employees.  When these companies don't use them, they usea travel service to sale to the general public.  This is how these types of vacations were so affordable.  They would not except a credit card so on Nov. 3, 2011 $2000.00 for 10 travellers was electronically withdrawn from our account to Worldwide Services on Nov. 3, 2011 with a customer number being assigned to us.  Once the funds cleared the entire attitude of the company changed. Our package did not come in the time stated, so we called.  We were informed by a Mike Gonzalez that someone in the office dropped the ball, we were given a US Postal tracking # and when we called the the US Postal 800-275-8777 customer service the tracking # did not exist.  We eventually received our package on Nov. 21, 2011 postmarked with the address 5380 W. 34th #164, Houston, TX 77092.  In order to book the trip, we had to activate with a fee of $70 per traveller.  So a money order in the amount of $700 was mailed to VIP Wholesale 448 W. 19th St. Ste. 258, Houston, TX 77008.  Through numerous email correspondence and phone calls, we were finally given a Condo to consider via email with a prive tag of $7000.  We began to question the fee for the Condo. We knew about the nightly resort tax, which was not to exceed $40-50 nightly.  Once our questions began, our phone calls were placed on hold, when we requested aphysical address we were told we were be transferred to the Legal Department where no one ever picked up.  The names of people we've been in contact with through this entire ordeal are:  Charles Davidson, Mike Gonzalez, Christopher Jackson, Robert Thornton - who claims to be the GM and Ed Roberts sometimes they say Ed is the GM.  The various company names are:  VIP Wholesale, ASAP Travel, American Travel, Worldwide Services, Fun In the Sun and Celebrity Production in Florida.  The phone #'s used: 877-239-1695, 888-400-3957 ext. 102 and 200.  Website used:  newworldwideservices.com.  Two P.O.Boxes connected to Worldwide Services, LLC are 542016 and 38618 Houston, TX. Connected to it in Austin, TX is P.O. Box 49673.  A physical address possibly connected is 807 Brazos, Austin TX 78701.  We've had to explain to our children, no Hawaii during Christmas break. We too, thought we asked all the right questions, now we have reported to BBB in Houston, Austin and California, at bbb.org.  Also, contacted the Attorney General for the states of Texas and California filing with Consumer Protection and Affairs and taken on an attorney.  We truly hope this never happens to anyone else.

We gave them our check after calling 4 days and asking a ton of questions to a guy named Charles.  We received our vouchers and everything.  Now we want to do a vacation and have been told that AltCharge.com, the 3rd party processing company, has not released our money to them.  So I call Altcharge and they say they released it on Sept. 19.  We are out $2,400.00.  A vacation for 12.  I am so upset.  I asked every question under the sun and thought I was being so cautious.  What a scam.  DO NOT CALL THEM!!!

Ok well i did the samething got this fax that my dad brought over to my house and so I said cool i'm going to call it.  So I did I talked to a lady named Carol.  After I gave all my info and check info then I hung up got all the emails that they said I would get and so on.  My husband and I looked at each other and said you know what this is to good to be true.  So we google the phone number and came up with all bad negitave talk.  So we called back and the guy said you don't have anything to worry about we are real and I asked for the licence number and he wouldn't give to me.  so the next morning I had my husband call and cancel the check with our bank for $10 save us from getting ripped off.  A few days later the 3rd party that does the payment called and asked about my check and I told them what I did and how I felt and she said thank you for the info we are going to investigate.  So after that I let it go and said i'm safe they cant cash my check.  And today in the mail was the paper work for my trip very weird.  The name the company is Amberican Travel 5380 W 34th st. Ste 164 Houston TX 77092.  Now reading the info they want me to send my voucher to a different address to VIP WHOLESALE 448 W. 19TH ST SUITE 258 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77008. and to make a money order.  So I don't know what the hell they are doing.

We are being charged not only taxes but registration fees, processing  and activation fees that were never disclosed at the beginning.  I paid $400 plus was told only about @$150 per person in port taxes. I am up to $776 and have not paid any port taxes yet which I am told are @ $256 per person. This isn't right. I have been working on this since last June, 2010.

I talked to the same Rudy and he did not explain all the fees that went along with the cruise. Only the intitial amt and the port fees. After paying $376 in other registration fees to other companies we are still waiting for the destination paperwork. This is all before we pay the port fees which are more than he quoted by double. I can't even get anyone to answer their phone now.  I was very stupid.

I have had the same exact experience with this company!  I am out $660.00 in total for a trip I purchased to take my only daughter to New York City for her 16th birthday.  When I called the number on the faxed flyer, Pat answerd and was sooooo glad I called and she could help be get to New York City the week between Christmas and New Years!  My daughters birthday is the 26th.  I started this process in July!!!!    I pay the $600.00 for the vouchers for 4 people to fly and hotel stay in New York City.  When I get the vouchers in the mail, I have to call and PAY again to acivate the voucher just to get a list of hotels so I know where we can stay and make reservations.  Several weeks went by and I get a colorful brochure listing multiple states and resort sites.....NON of which are in New York City!!!!  WTH!!!!    I have benn calling for over 8 weeks now, and somtimes I get to talk with this guy name Jason, who claims to be the only person there capable of dealing with my issue and he promised me a refund!!!!  Did I mention I've been doing this for 8 weeks!!!   I call again today and was told Jason is out for the holidays be back in a few weeks!!!!!    

He is spending my F_cking $600.00 on a holiday vacation!!   meanwhile, my daughter goes without a trip for her 16th birthday b/c this SCAM company has my money!!!!

What a bunch of dummies you people are!  They are located at Mangum and 290 in Houston, Texas.  Not sure what the exact address is.  There are two brick office buildings on the southwest corner off of the feeders.  They are in the 301 bldg.  Suite 500.  It is the bldg marked as Fred Loya Insurance.  Fox News channel 26 did an expose on them.  You can go knock on their door, but they probably will not answer.  At least they did not answer for me.

Read my other post first before you read this one. It was from Aug 25th. This is a cont. of that post.

Okay, well I did receive my vouchers. They were from a company called Celebrity Productions, and they are one of the wholesalers that Dream VIP Vacations uses to purchase their vouchers. To make a long story short, we did not end up going go Cali, because Danny from VIP sent me the wrong vouchers. He promised that if we purchased the vouchers in Aug, we would have plenty of time to travel to Cali in Oct. NOT A TRUE STORY! In fact when I got the vouchers from VIP Travel, I called celebrity Productions to get the actual tickets and reservation numbers for our hotel, and Megan ( who works there) said that VIP should have NEVER promised that we would have no trouble traveling to Cali in Oct, because 99.9% of the time, when you purchase ANY travel voucher your dates are never secure, and the time it takes between mailing things back and fourth can take up to 2-3 months! Like I said before its A LONG Process.

Because there was not enough time for us to get things mailed out, we were unable to use ANY of the vouchers from VIP Travle to go to cali! I emailed Danny to inform him that he sent me the wrong vouchers first of all and second of all told him what Celebrity productions told me in regards to his promise of being able to travel as early as Oct when we purchased them in Aug. ( I DID ALL OF THIS IN EMAIL SO I HAD IT IN WRITING!!!!!) He emailed me back apologized a million times, and told me he would send me the refund only if i sent him the vouchers back so he could resell them. That was the week of Oct 22nd, 2010. It is now the week of NOV 15th!

I called and emailed EVERY DAY asking him when the refund would be sent out. He kept telling me Friday, EVERY TIME I CALLED IT WAS MS. THE REFUND WILL BE MAILED OUT FRIDAY! When the check never came I called again! Every time I called to talk to him he would act like he didn't know who i was, and say " when did i tell you I would give you a refund". I would email him our conversion, and he would say I do apologize, I will have it sent out to you on Friday! Not to mention, he isn't even giving me the full refund, he is only giving me $330.00 out of the $400.00 we paid for our vouchers! I just called him again, about 30 minutes ago, do get the Tracking Number b/c he swears "this time" its actually in the mail, but I will have to call back around 2:00 b/c the girl that does the mail is out of the office until then.

When VIP Travel Messed up on our vouchers, Celebrity Productions felt so bad they sent me another set of vouchers, but the original ones I paid Celebrity Productions for, never came in the mail, Just another set of random ones that we could use when ever.

In total we paid

$400.00 for the vouchers to Cali from VIP Travel
$140.00 to Celebrity Productions for the airline tickets and Hotel Stay ( which we never received)

We would have had to pay an additional $60 per person for the airline taxes ( at least) and another $50.00 for the room reservation and then finally another $30 for the hotel tax!

I now have a STACK of vouchers that I cannot use, Im out $140.00 from celebrity and HOPEFULLY this time I will actually get my $330.00 from VIP Travel.

Save your self some time, use WWW.BOOKIT.COM! They are owned by orbitz and have great packages! The Cruise +AirLine packages on book it.com are even cheaper than anything VIP or Celebrity could give you.

We got scammed! I received this fax and decided to call for more information. Pat answered and was very nice and polite, and explained all the terms of the trip. It was $300 for 3 days/2 nights in Orlando. I paid through my bank account and then a few weeks later got my vouchers. I didn't bother looking at them until now, when I decided I was ready to book my trip.
Like I said, I paid $300 for 3 days and 2 nights, but the airfare voucher said that we had to stay a minimum of 4 days. WHAT? I called celebrity productions and the girl told me that I could get a discount on the hotel for the 3rd night. I told her I didn't WANT a 3rd night. I told her I wanted my money back, and she replied "You haven't paid us anything. You have to call the company that sold you the trip."
So I called Sun & Fun travel (888-728-6984), and the number is no longer in service. The website has been taken down. I'll be calling my bank tomorrow to see if they can help me get my money back.

I tried calling both the toll free numbers (877) 564-9237, (888) 728-6984  and no one is answering.  Also the travel voucher which i received from them, I filled it and mailed it to the address mentioned in the voucher and I have not received any information/correspondence back from them either. The voucher did not even have any contact #'s. I was able to find out the numbers and the company by searching for the address. Below is their contact

I have left a voice mail for them too, but am doubtful of getting any thing out of it. I have taken in the fact that i have lost the money and forget about my trip to Cancun.

I also observed that there are many different companies with same or similar name, so just to clarify i am referring to the following company which cheated me

So my story is a bit different yet similar. I work in Chicago for the ABC Radio Networks and of course we get a million and one of these faxes a day. Typically we throw them away. When the flyer came through for this company like all the rest I was very skeptical. I was chatting with one of my co-works who said she has responded to a different company, a while back, and it turned out to be a time share, but lucky for her she was in the market!


So  I called the 1-800 number listed above, and it was for a company called Dream VIP Vacations with a parent company of LC Travel. Not the Fun and the Sun Company everyone on here is talking about. The first women I talked to was VERY rude ( Her name is Rachel) and she actually hung up on me. So I called back and asked to speak with her manager. I was then transferred to Danny. He went over all the information with me about my vacation package, explained thier company and told me up front about the fess associated. ( I am traveling to Cali for a wedding this OCT with 3 friends). He was very helpful and because of the hassle i had with Rachel he gave me a Caribbean cruise with round trip air for two on the house. We will be going on that in Dec.

I was still VERY skeptical as it all sounded too good to be true. But Danny was nice enough to give the direct line to his office so I wouldn't have to call the 1-800 number as well as his personal email.  I took that info and did some investigative work. I looked up Danny by his email address and ended up finding him on Face Book and was able to confirm he was a real person and not giving me a false name. From there I put in his office telephone number and found on Google maps their offices ( street view on google maps rocks). Now Danny and I email back and forth when I have a question about my trip. ( I like to get everything in writing)

Once I had confirmed that Danny was a real persons name, I decided what the heck I will take a gamble and see what this is all about. My husbon works for Chase Bank their corporate offices and has all of our bank accounts on lock down.If we loose any money from this we can file a charge and get our money back with in 24 hours. Any third party that attempts to withdraw from our accounts is immediately declined unless we authorize them in advance. So when they tried to pull the money out of my bank account it would not let Dream VIP Vacations do it. Danny called me to let me know they were declined, and asked if i would send in a money order.

I went to the bank, got my money order and shipped it fedex with a tracking number. I gave the tracking number to Danny, and he shipped my vouchers that night. He also FWD me the tracking number so I can track my vouchers. It has not arrived yet, ( its ETA is Thurs) but when it does I will call Danny to activate my vouchers.

Now most people think this company is a scam, and at first you might think that. It is a VERY long process to get your vacation booked, and most people don't want to deal with the hassle. But if you are in the market to save a little money and you have some patience then this might just be what you are looking for. Their website is www.dreamvipvacations.com. Check it out and see for your self. The pro's are that they can give you great group discounts and you can travel for such a low cost, but the con's are that some of the staff are jerks, and it takes about 3 months of planning to get everything set in stone. The other con is that they only fly into major air ports so if you have to travel to some where that is far away from the air port you might have to pay a large cab fee or get a rental car to reach your final destination.

Once I get my vouchers and I secure my dates I will post again the progress and let you know how things pan out. For now I am not getting my hopes up just in case, but I will know by Friday if its worth all the work. My friends wants to book the Hawaii vaca for her wedding but we are using my first experience as our test run since its only $400 bucks and we just traveling to Cali. from Chicago.Feel free to email me with any questions! alyssa.schutter@gmail.com. Other than that happy traveling! Oh and ask for Danny if you do end up calling, and ask if you can send a money order with a tracking number just for some added security!

Let me tell you this is such a crock of crap........Sun and Fun Travel has scammed me and a group of people out of nearly $3000.00. After receiving information from so called Sun and Fun Travel, we received another package from Celebrity Productions, PO Box 1935 Woodbridge VA 22195, which required that each person provide a check in the amount of $49.00. They did not want a money order. Supposedly we were to receive the information for the cruise. We did receive another package and they are now requesting additionaloney and stated that they did not understand why we paid all this money.  This is very very discouraging. I am presently contacting the news stations for interviews on this huge scam which crosses over a few companies.  I would recommend for future reference for no one to trust these types of opportunities.  They are all LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
