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.
We recived a call today, and it was a vacation invitation from United, but we dont know how they got our adress.
Possibly the sweet old lady is somone asociated with the company, which makes them even less credible
Apparently, this company contacted me last week with news that I'd won a vacation, inviting me to a presentation to claim it, which seemed like a great deal since it didn't require any purchases or sign-ups, just 90 minutes of my time, and now I'm looking forward to a trip to Vegas with airline tickets and a hotel stay.
This company is great, i talked to a guy named Travis and he gave me a vaction for just 90 min of my time, a $3000 vaction for 90 min of my time, whats a great company, you peoples should try this out before talking bad!
We recived a call from a number claiming to be Telephone Manag, and they said we had won free airline tickets, but after doing some reseach, it appeers to be a scam.
I appreciate the effort to investigate the postcard I received, as I was also unsure about its legitimacy.
I recieved a CONGRATS card with US Airlnes on it just before my birthday, which seem suspicious so i search the number and found this list, thankfully.
Recieved a card in the mail from this company today, it seems they are operating across multiple states, including California, and tend to target people around the holidays
I recived a similair card, it said United, I think they use the most prominant airline in your area, in my case it's United since SFO is one of their hubs, makes sence
Following a postcard from 800-413-5613 in Blue Springs, MO, I received an automated call on my answering machine, prompting me to research this number and consider responding to these calls
The postcard I got had the United Airlines symbol and offered two round-trip airfares to anywhere in the US; it listed 1-800-582-6054 as the number to call and mentioned Utopian Travel as the provider, with an address at 1315 185 Avenue #113 in Beaverton, OR, which appears to be an EXPRESS POSTAL CENTER when I checked the reverse address
Today i got a postcard with Delta's logo, promising free R/T tickets, thats definitly a scam
I received a card with Frontier and US Airlines logos, which I suspected was a scam, and this webpage has confirmed my suspicions.
Receiving a postcard with the US Airlines logo, which seemed suspicious due to the incorrect slogan, raised concerns about how my address was obtained and led to research, eventually resulting in the discovery of this site
I appreciate the info provided about the 800-413-5613 scam, it saved me from wasting time and effort on research.
I recieved a card in mail and called the number, they told me i won a prize but when i did some research and called back, they werent very happy
Recently, I received a letter dated 10/29/07, offering two round-trip airfares to a major international airport within the continental U.S., albeit with unspecified restrictions and qualifications, and featuring logos from various airlines and rental companies.
It turns out I got a CARD, not a car, unfortunately, but at least it was something.
Be cautious when dealing with these scammers, as caller ID blocking is ineffective for toll-free numbers like 800 numbers, unless you're the one making the call and paying for it.
Upon receiving a postcard from United, it stated I was verified but not selected as a winner, offering two round-trip airfares within the USA under the guise of a requested prize.
Today i recived the same card with the same phone number, and i'm greatful to see that some peoples are usign their braines, i'll make sure to warn my friends and family about this
The disturbing trend continues unabated
A postcard with the Delta logo and a VIP Travel address in Columbia, SC, including the phone number 800-591-3741, was received
I got a card in mail and when i called them, they ask me to attend a 90 min presentation, its a timeshare thing and they give you 2 RT vouchers for travel within US, sound pretty good but
I also recieved the birthday card scam, the company is called World Wide Travel and they use logos from US Airways and Budget Car Rental, seems fishy
Today, i recieved a post card saying i can get 2 tickets to anywhere in the U.S, it had U.S Airways and Southwest Airlines logos, i've been getting these for years now
The date of the call was 10/01/2007 and its still botherin me
Perhaps the ABC program 'Seven on your side' could asist consumers in situations like this
The postcard with the United logo also arived at my adress, its unclear how they obtianed my details and adress.
I also recieved the birthday card, i wonder how they got my birthday informations, they changed they're company name to World Wide Travel, in MO.
