Exposé On Travel Club Scams This Side of the Border

[LannyPC]

I watched this program today about some "interesting" travel clubs that scam people. Like many of these upfront fee scammers, they get shut down and then reincarnate under a new name.

The story also has some interesting tidbits about other guilty parties in these transactions:

Thanks for posting -- will pass to others. Maybe someone can be helped.

My group (senior advocacy) believes in telling folk to just stop attending these spiels. Especially, we tell seniors to ignore "seminars" where "free" meals are offered. Lots of postcards sent in this area offering free meals.
