I actually got an email from someone in Italy who wanted me to set up massages for a model coming to "this area". Yes, I use to do massage, before I got cancer, but where do they get this from?

I must admit that I did fall for a scam. It was one of the travel clubs that have popped up in our area. We went to the presentation and since I am sick and going for my travel bucket list, it seemed like a pretty good deal. The problem is, they promised they could save us hundreds on cruises, hotels and air fare and it turns out I could get the same for cheaper! Luckily, I stay on top of things and found out that I could save over $300 on a Transatlantic cruise we are taking in the spring. Luckily, the travel club got me the lower rate, but if I wasn't diligent, I would never have know I was losing money, not saving! The company we went with is called Resorts Plus International, but I keep getting calls from other companies with the same spiel. Beware!!!

Well GoBarb26, just a few weeks ago, we went to the Resorts Plus Presentation also. We were absolutely determined to get our free gift and leave....no signing up for us LOL. Well, we did sign up, after my hubby talked them down a whole bunch. Of course I'm aware that they expect you to do this....pretty dumb if you pay their top price. Anyway, we haven't tried to book any trips yet, but we certainly will check EVERYTHING out first. Resorts Plus claims that if they can't beat the price, they'll send you a check for the difference. This remains to be seen. We probably won't book anything until around June. We're too busy having everyone from up North, and even from California come to check this place out. Hey, maybe we'll open up a bread and breakfast LOL. I actually had to tell friends not to book airline tickets till they checked....we're getting pretty booked here. LOL. No time for us to take a vacation yet. Hopefully Resorts Plus will be legit afterall. Could you PM me, and let me know how your trip went....you did say you booked it thru Resorts Plus, right. Anyway, have a great trip. Trish
