AKA SUNNY TRAVELS AKA Magical Dream Escapes
we were told we won a "getaway dream" said it would cost 698 dollars but if we paid it in full right then they would knock 100 dollsrs off. that we could go to all these places and not pay for hotels and that we won a trip also to the bahamas that we would only pay for the food we eat on the island etc. we have three kids this is why we thought it was a deal when they said for a family of 5 or 4 adults. said we also won a trip to walt disney world for the kids. and adult tickets were free. it just makes me sick! later that day they took the money right out of our bank!
"Discover the Dinosaur" show should be renamed "Discover the Scam".The show promoter for this event should be ashamed to have this scam running in a family event. Obviously they are making money off misleading people. I read a post of someone who is nearly homeless that made a purchase with this company because they never ""win"" anything and felt this was a dream come true. After being told that they would only have to pay the hotel taxes their card was charged $698.00 dollars.(Saw other posts online that their selling it for as low as $198.00 dollars) They called to get the money back so they could pay their rent and were told the day after purchase they couldn't get a refund. That is a shame. I did let that person know they can call their Credit Card company to initiate a Charge back dispute and they will get their money back easily being that it is an over the phone transaction. I'd like to start a petition to contact the event promoter of this scam and hopefully stop this company from practicing deceptive trade practices. More information on the company Universal Getaways is not the legal name, it is Magical Dream Escapes 1025 E. Hallandale Beach Blvd., #11, Hallandale Beach, FL 33009-4478. Which has an F rating with the South Florida BBB reason for name change I'm sure. The main number I believe is (954) 587-0595. The Show promoter of ""Discover The Dinosaurs"" needs to shut this booth down at their event so future hard working families wont fall victim to this shameless practice.
