Upon receiving a postcard in California, I attempted to verify the existence of the 'World Wide Travel' agency in Blue Springs, MO, but found no listing. It is questionable whether they have obtained permission from United to utilize their logo. Companies that conceal their intentions behind 'presentations' without transparency are suspect, and I avoid engaging with them.
Got a postcard from World Wide Travel? Beware! - +1 800-413-5613 ((800) 413-5613)

The calls from 1‑800‑413‑5613 are a classic travel‑seminar scam. They mail postcards that look like airline offers, then push recipients into a 90‑minute presentation where a credit‑card ID is demanded for free tickets. The source repeatedly identifies itself as World Wide Travel, a Missouri‑based operation that masquerades with airline logos. To stay safe, never give personal data or credit‑card details to unsolicited callers, block the number on your phone, and report the activity to the FTC and your local consumer‑protection agency. If you’ve already paid, contact your bank right away to dispute the charge.
