Travel Membership Scam Reports & Reviews (2)

- Immokalee, FL, USA • Feb 05, 2024

Called, went to presentation (they offered no refreshments) at which they were trying to sell travel memberships that were supposed to save attendees money in their travel. For attending, you received a restaurant certificate and a travel certificate. We were told that you could go online any time at wew.rewardsandincentives.com and register your certificates but once you did, the clock starts ticking as you only had a year to use once registered. Held off on registering. When tried to register, kept receiving screen popup that said invalid. When then calling the toll free number, the phone disconnects, no message. Burner phones/numbers?

Before I describe the scam, please know that we have all emails (some of which we are part of the upload) including the IP addresses and are prepared to send all details requested. And there were several US based companies involved: A Texas Law Firm and a Bank. Below are the list of parties associated with our alleged scam. All communications were by phone or email.

Scam details: We were contacted by Dolores Barragan of TravelPlanners UK (TP UK) and made an offer to purchase our membership interests in Legendary Hard Rock and worldwide resorts. This membership included discounted weeklong stays at the associated resorts. After negotiations, we were provided with a letter of intent to purchase along with website and a reference so that we could make sure that the offer was legitimate. We were then contacted by a Texas attorney who was to prepare the purchase contract and close the transaction. The law firm of Steven Michael Henderson, Attorney of Law; not only prepared a contract that had been signed by the head of TP UK, Thomas Miller; but also provided us with evidence that the sale proceeds had been wired to the law firm's IOTA account. Then we were told that Legendary would not allow the transfer without receipt of the commission due them of $5,562.50. We confirmed this and wired out the details. AND, we were told that if the transaction was not completed; we would continue to own the membership and the commission would be repaid -- Mr. Yung, noted below was that party. The transaction became very weird when we were told that TP UK had wired money to IBFC but that the funds were being held as Hacienda, a MX taxing authority was requiring payment for Capital Gains taxes due. The law firm spoke with the MX agency and us; but suggested that we pay $21,137.50. We refused to pay the tax and asked for our $5.5 back. We also called the wire back. To date, it was not sent back; and we have continued to receive menacing emails from Hacienda, the MX Taxing Authority.
