A phone call early @7am EST from Dawn in Florida advising us of a holiday in Florida we have been selected to receive because I filled in a survey. Prize included
6 days/5 nights Orlando
3 days/2 nights Fort Lauderdale
4 days/3 nights Cruise (Optional)
3 days/2 nights Las Vegas (Optional)


2 Universal Theme Park tickets or 2 Disney World Theme Park tickets or a 7 continuous day rental car

All for only $798 US dollars. Before I knew it I was giving credit card detail for $199.00 deposit for this trip of a life time. Only thing I had to do is spend 90 mins of my time listening to a seminar about the resort.
After receiving a confirmation email and reading it further and research on this site realising that this holiday of a lifetime is actually a scam that will cost a small fortune if I go ahead with it because I have to pay for everything including meals, flights, and everything in between. They caught me early in the morning and proceeded to pressure me for any amount of deposit, pay the rest before departure. I looked up the website and was unable to get a clear answer from it, just more advertising of the same speel they gave over the phone. I sent an email and got an automate response asking for my confirmation dates.

    I live in Brisbane Australia and I received a call stating the EXACT same details, early this morning. They knew all my details, address, mobile number, age, credit card number, it sounded 100% fair dinkum. 1 hour later I went into my bank and cancelled my credit card. A payment of around AU$800 was in the process, but not completed, so it looks like I beat them to the money.

  • I live in Christchurch, New Zealand and this morning I received a phone call stating this exact same offer. They knew my email, cell phone number and an incorrect postal address from a recent survey they said I participated in.
    My cellphone showed the calling number as "000000", so I was cautious from the start. Steaven Gilmore calling from Omni Florida Travel, then transferred over to Dawn Fair for booking confirmation. Told her where to go after she asked me for Visa or M'card info to secure the offer for $798USD...
