Fantasy Vacations is set up in a Marriott Courtyard Hotel in Washington DC. I don't know if Marriott has anything to do with it or not, but everyone there knows these liars. Pierre Bennet promises you everything and John Lyons lies even more.

Fantasy Vacations promised me free gifts if I listened to their travel program. I sat through them pressuring me to buy, they belittled me. A man named Greg was the speaker. They have some fancy travel video that promises you impossible things.

I finally did buy after hours of their torture. When I finally got my free gifts, nothing was free. Everything had hidden costs and you could never make reservations.
I tried to cancel, Fantasy Vacations said I had 3 days. I could never contact anyone. I have tried to talk with Fantasy Vacations and they will not return my money.
Stay away from these weasels. I am going to the attorney general and the newspaper and enyone else who will listen.
Do not be fooled by the postcard you get promising free gifts, it is a hugh ripoff.

What if you went to their presentation and just said No?

Dear Betty,
I guess I'm naiive, but What if you just said, "It's been 90 minutes, and I have to go. They said I'd be here for 90 minutes TOPS." --I got a call today from Keith Jackson ("Prize Claims Manager"), 877-237-9457, ext. 230, who said I had to show up at the Hilton in Alexandria, VA to claim my prize. (It sounds like they want you to go to some time-share of theirs in Orlando, Las Vegas, or Cancun.) The 3 prizes I was offered are:
1) Ford Bronco or $25,000 cash
2) Two-night vacation to one of the above places (includes airfare & hotel)
3) 27" flat-screen monitor

He said I'd be in at 8 pm, out at 9:30 pm. I asked what the odds are for winning each of the prizes. He said there were none, but most people win the vacation or the monitor. (Duh!) And from your story, it sounds like EVERYBODY wins the vacation (that they can never reserve).

Keith Jackson specifically said there was no pressure to buy and no purchase required. Sounds like this is a bold-faced lie!
