Can not reach at website given,
www.TAINOVACATIONS.COM". We were told
the information would be on that website within 3 days.

We cannot reach anyone at telephone
number "1-800-513-4520", it sounds
like a fax line.

Money was paid towards this vacation
and we were advised to cancel.

Would you keep us posted as to what
the results are regarding this problem?

Try 800-790-4157
This number is posted on their website, which is up and running.

These vacation packages are really not a good deal. I'd see about getting my money back.

I paid my money to tainovacations and when I dialed the 800-790-4157 number that I got from their website to get my username I got no answer the phone just rang and when I tried again to make reservations a lady picked up and said can you hold and never picked the phone back up.

I RECEIEVED A CALL TODAY FROM ONE OF THE RECEPTIONIST. SHE TOLD ME THAT IWON A VACATION FRO THE SMAE EXACT TRIP YOU'RE TALKIN ABOUT. I ASKED IF THE TRIP WAS LEGIT SHE SAID YES, I ALSO GAVE HER MY ACCOUNT NUMBER BUT THERES NO MONEY IN IT TO COVER THIS TRIP. DID I MAKE A GOOD OR BAD DECISION.

Did you find out anything regarding your paid vacation? My friend and I purchased a package and I have a bad feeling. We asked for something in writing that the vacation was paid in full and received nothing.

I dont know if we are talking about the same trip but I was told that I won a free trip to florida and all I had to do was buy 2 two day passes is the same trip if so respond quickly please.

i cannot get any informatiopn or reply from given phone numbers 1-888-782-9847 or1888-843-1733 for tainovacations also

I have also been unable to contact these individuals to make reservations. Every time I call I get no answer and I too, paid for the vacation.

im talking to them now and everything is cool. im not sure if i paid too much or not , but i do know i have a trip. so call 1-800-790-4157 and wait for a person. they'll help ya.

this deal is really a fraud!!! i asked for details in the mail, plus i was told that within 24 hours i could view my vacation online. they took my money, and i have never heard a word, received anything, and i cant get in tough with them!!

I was sold this package over the phone and none of the numbers or web sites i was given are legite get your money back as soon as possible.

My wife paid $128 with credit card and another $75 charge appeared on credit card. Any they don't staff the phones over holiday. This trip is being "given away" with stuff you buy by phone that you saw on TV. I'm calling to follow up and will post here.

My Dad feel for their scam. It happened Sunday night...I called on Monday and spoke with a woman named Robin ext 558. She asked why I was cancelling and I was truthful and told her I investagated the company and there are all kinds of stuff on the internet that the company is a fraud. She claimed that she cancelled the charge on his card. But just in case, he is going to the bank today to cancel the card, and put a stop on the transaction.
I also found other message boards that they used to call themselves Solo Vactaions.

Flamingo bay yacht club marina vacation fraud. I made same mistake 1-4-05. no answer on any numbers. hoping to get my money back. any Help

this morn. i was told that i won i told them that i did couldent afford the $ at this time they assured me they woulent charge till nxt mo. then when i saw all the complaints i checked the bank to see if the $ was taken out.it was gone when i called back to tell them i wanted my $ back now they said that they did cancel it . now i have to wait to see if it posted hopefuly it does i dont want to get kicked out of my home!

I fell for that scam today got on the internet and went to the website www.tainovacations.com and put my password in and got no answer so I call the number on the website and got no answer.The lady that called and said I won the trip said to call 1-800-513-4524 if I had any problems I got no answer there ether. I found this website and cancled my credit card before they had a chance to charge me anything thank you.

twice i tried to cxl/"flamingo bay" as soon as i saw these complaints,and both times i spoke w/"supervisors"they argued w/ me .one argued w/me for over a haf hr.then i realized that if this wa a ligit bus.they would have never spoke w/ me in that manner due to the fact that ive worked cust.serv. for sixteen years. this supervisor told me at the end of the conversation/yelling that he wasent going to help me cuz of the insults.he told me i was ignorant, peronoid . and that some people deserve to be scamed.he put me on hold twice each.10min i had to hang up and call back to trick him, then he put me onhold again it .the 1st supervisor told me they are affiliated w/ century 21.i called to confirm.they never heard of them. this whole thing is a total nightmare.

I got a call from a salesman today offering a 7 nights, cruise, Bahamas, & Disney vacation for $138. (Obviously too good to be true) When I asked about a Better Business Bureau recommendation, I was put on hold, and then the line went dead. I went to the website he mentioned, and noticed that the pictures of the resorts looked like they were taken with a disposable camera, from a boat, out in the bay. It also mentioned that the Bahamas resort only had 68 rooms. Does that sound like any resort you've ever heard of? The website has "scam" written all over it.

Well I have to say the people were really nice even when I said I wanted to cancel the trip. I did though give them a false credit card number and will do more research before changing to the correct number so keep me posted about this fraud.

Elizabeth

I want my money back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wayne

I GOT A CALL FOR A FREE VACATION FOR 7 DAYS AND 6 NIGHTS IN FLA. AND A BAHAMA CRUISE WITH LODGING FOR 3 DAYS AND 2 NIGHTS. PLUS A 3DAY AND 2 NIGHT STAY AT ANY FLAMINGO BAY RESORT ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THIS MAN ASSURED ME HE WAS CHRISTIAN MAN STUDIING FOR THE MINISTRY NOW, AND WHOEVER HAD TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF ME IN THE PAST IS SURILY SUFFERING GREATELY RIGHT NOW. I TOLD HIM YEA ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK. HE SPOKE OF GOD, AND WAS VERY SENCERE. HOW TERRIBLE SOME PEOPLE CAN BE. I CALLED THE CREDIT CARD CO. AND ALERTED THEM. HE CLAIMED TO BE ROBERT MOBLEY, DIRECTOR OF PROMOTION. BEWARE!!!!

same thing Jan.18,2005

I was just on the tainovacations website and just talked to a person about my vacation at the 800-790-4157 number. I think this is a real vacation, but after all the other costs it maybe isn't such a good deal. I live in north dakota and have to fly to florida, plus rent a car and drive to the different destinations. I only paid $600 for a 7 day trip plus 3day cruise, but after all the travel cost it will be like a 3000 dollar trip. Try typing www.tainovacations.com in the http line not in the search line.

I have also been "took" sent over $200
for an upgraded condo. Can anything be done?

I, too, responded to a call received
on 1-19-05, regarding a "free vacation". My husband and I were planning to travel to Florida in Feb. and also go to Universal so it sounded
like a great package deel, including
another vacation to cocoa beach and the Bahamas, including cruise on Discovery Cruise Lines. They also threw in a 5 day vacation to Cancun,
Mexico. We paid $128.00 for the package plus $75.00 to upgrade to a
condo for accomodation. Sounded good.
I spoke to someone on the phone at the
800-513-4520 number and they said a rep
would call my back. I haven't heard
from them and have been unable to get
an answer in the past 4 days. I called
my credit card to cancel the transaction only to find they had already collected the money. I have
disputed the charges on account of fraud. I have fraud protection on that account. I do not believe they
are a ligitimate company.

The number works fine. I called in and everyone was very helpful. I also booked my dates, for anyone who says it's fraud are sceptic's don't believe everything you read!

I also had a guy call me and said that I had been chosen for a special promo vacation pkg. Disney vacation 8 days/7nites + stay at daytona or coco beach 3d/2nites, bahamas cruise, cancun 5d/4 nites, wknd pkgs for $29/ea all for $346.00-truly "too good to be true" deal. I also called the 800-513-4524 which was no longer in use. Then I logged onto the tainovacation.com website & saw all of this fraud stuff and peoples messages and I panicked, called to cancel my charge card-unfortunately it had already been processed. Today I received my statement with the chgs from "Summer Bay Travel Coop -888-782-9847, where my 1st rep was quite rude to me after I expressed my concerns about the legitmacy of this travel pkg-if I wanted to cancel then go ahead and do it she said and hung up on me. Well, I called back and spoke w/a much friendlier girl who said that she wasn't sure why they gave those other #'s or website-she indicated to go to www.beginmyvacation.com" and you would be able to pull up your pkg and see what all you had purchased. She made that extra effort to try and correct the issues and they are the one's that make the reservations for your trip. As we were talking she pulled up my pkg on this "beginmyvacation" website and was able to see my pkg. I might just decide to keep the pkg after all after I look at this website and review my pkg again just one more time to be sure. I hope this will help others!

they took my money for 3 seperate vactions never sent any thing cound not reach at 1800-513-4524 what a bunch of sh__. hope they have a great life.Beware next time.

We too received a call with very similiar offers. The only thing is it's under www.beginmyvacation.com, but when you go to the site it has information on it abou Flamingo Bay Resort and they mentioned the resort. In reading the fine print it states that you have to listen to a 90 minute presentation. It also reads that you can cancel your vacation within 7 days. Is this the same thing as the tainovacations.com? Their office is closed until tomorrow morning. I'm thinking I'm going to cancel. Too all of the other people who posted positive remarks about this, please contact me.

yes i got the phone call yesterday aswell what a scam i cancelled my card just hope it was in time they havent taken money yet

yes i got the phone call yesterday aswell what a scam i cancelled my card just hope it was in time they havent taken money yet

I am sooo glad I found your messages. I think these creeps should be reported to the Fair Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau. Want them to stop calling? Tell them you are on welfare and they hang up on you! LMAO!

just got off the phone MSC #given and$350 towards this vacation from Summer Bay Resort Travel - have to pay flight and room taxes .... www.beginmyvacation.com have 2yrs to take Cancun all inclusive and 12mos. for Florida trip.... is this for real need to know today if i need to cancel my credit card and why do they need to know 3digit #on back of my card?

I haven't had any problems YET. received package deal of (2) 2-day disney tickets/4 day-3 nt in orlando, cruise to bahamas (whick i do have to pay for the cruise) but 3 day-2 nt in bahamas and 3day-2 nt in ft lauderdale for $138.00. i can get on websit for tainovacations and i can get on website (bemyvacation.com) to see my reservations. i am scheduled to go in march. hopefully everything will be ok. people at 1-800-790-4157 gave me another number to call 1-866-639-6144 and everyone has been nice to me. (that could be because they already have my money). i'll let you all know if everything is good or not when i get back. the only thing i didn't like was that the cruise truely wasn't included in the price...but we decided to take it anyway.

i also got a call today 15/02/05 and they tried to take my credit card details,but they got annoyed with me asking so much questions.i did noty want to but straight away,so i said that i needed to speak to my husband,about the hoiliday before booking anything they gave me their customer service number and there website ,but i came out to you.so i am very glad that i did not give my details out to them.thank you for warning about this scam.which i think it very much is.

I bought pkg. for 3 nights Orlando, 2 cocoa beach, 3 night cruise for 138.00.I went to Orlando Upgraded for 75.00 for suite. I went on Jan.3 2005. Few Hidden costs but nice and fun.Summer Bay was very nice.

I received a phone call also on 2-16-05 about a vacation. They said I would get a 3day 2night in FL. and only pay $11.00 per night for rooms and $9.95 for going to their website to look at my package which is not on there.When I told her I didn't want to do it she told me alot of other things to get me to take it, she gave me the www.beginmyvacation.com website and telephone number 1-888-782-9847 could you please tell me if this is a fraud.

Sounds familiar, I was promised 7n 5dys to Florida, Bahamas Cruise with 3dys 2n at Flamingo Bay Resort, thought it was too good to be true. Unable to log on to www.beginmyvacation with my passrord which should have been accessable within 24hours its been 5 days. I am usually sceptical but this guy was really good.. How does he sleep at night. I lost £198.00 plus pain and suffering

I contacted Sue @ 1-800-266-5137, and she tried to get me to pay for a trip. I had already won the 2-night 3-day vacation. I told her that we couldn't afford anything else. After she found out that I wasn't going to purchase anything, she gave me this website to preview the 2-night 3-day vacation. I haven't seen it yet. I hope that you guys can recover. I know it's hard but you have to let God handle this.

I used to pride myself on not being gullible,but apparently i found out that anyone can be a victim of a good sounding scam.Especially one that has part truth to it. I lost 398.00 for a 8 days and 7 nights to the bahamas and florida trip that i could not access on;beginmyvacation.com I pray that these people will be stopped from taking peoples hard earned money.

last week I recieved a call from a very good sales lady I was on the phone for almost 2 hours going over details and was told that This was a promotion for one day only for a 8day 7 night vacation package 4nights and 3 days in Orlando at the SummerBay resort and 3day 2 night in coco/daytona beach with an additional 4day 3 night cruise to the Bahamas at the Flimingo Bay resort and that all I had to to was go to a 90 min time share Presentation for $158.00 I did give all my CC info and the money has been taken ... I did not look in to the matter right away and now upon doing so I found this site ... it is Sunday and I will look further into this in the morning and see If I too got scamed ????? I put this on my Visa , I do not know if I have fraud protection , does anyone know how to approach this matter ?

close to a month ago i was pomted about a "special" vacation package. 4dys 3nts in Orlando, 3dys 2nts in Daytona, theme park tickets, and a 3dy 2 nts Bahamas cruise to the flamingo resort for $398. they seemed lagit but very pushy. I put off and they cept calling back. they have the money, but i can't seem to log in to there web site. www.summerbayvacations.com and beginmyvacation.com. they claim it's down and to log back in later. that was two weeks ago. all others beware. hang up the phone!

I purchased the insurance for the trip and due to reading "fraud" reviews, I became anxious and contacted the insurance company. I feel that I have been protected with insurance from a reliable company. I am hoping to enjoy my vacation which is scheduled for June.

I have also just recently "won" a vacation, from this company. I have already travelled and i had a great time. I stayed in a 1 bedroom condo whilst i was in Orlando, and my other locations almost as nice. The cruise was one of the best vacations i have been on in ages and i would absolutely do it again. Because i had such a fabulous time i deciede to purchase a 3 bedroom condo timeshare at the Summer Bay Resort. I cant wait to get back there next year so i can have more fun. All of the representitives were extremely cordial, and assisted me in a quick timely manner. I do hope that anyone understands that not ALL vacationers will have the best trip of thier lives, but im sure that these people do thier best to accomodate you as they can. They did it for me!! I am not one to go with those telesales "winnings" but for some reason they got me on a good day and i said why not? I am so glad that i did. This extremely reputable company comes very highly reccommended!!!!!! e-mail me if you have an questions on the legitimacy of these trips. I will give you my absolute honest opinion about each location i have been to.

I SERIOUSLY THINK I HAVE BEEN CONNED AS WELL!! ON FRIDAY "SUMMERBAY RESORT" IN FLORIDA PHONED ME TO OFFER A GREAT DEAL FOR £213,10 DAYS,4 PEOPLE. CHOICE OF EITHER DISNEY PASSES OR UNIVERSAL STUDIO PASSES!!!!I WAS SCEPTICAL OF THEM SO I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER (who was even more convincing).I WAS ON THE PHONE FOR 50 MINUTES! THEY ALSO OFFERED LOTS OF OTHER THINGS THAT I COULD BENEFIT OF WHILE I WAS THERE... ALL I WAS OBLIGATED TO DO WAS TO GO HOME AND TELL EVERYONE WHAT A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY I HAD! BUT WHEN I TRIED TO LOGIN TO THE WEBSITE OTHER PEOPLES NAMES WERE COMING UP,NOT MINE.SO I RANG THE COMPANY TO CANCEL AND THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS TO REGISTER. BUT ON THE INTERNET IT SAID 24HRS.I ALSO ASKED IF IT WAS "TIME SHARE" THEY SAID YES! I WAS NOT TOLD THIS OVER THE PHONE WHEN BOOKING IT! how stupid do i feel now & how do we stop people from making the same mistake?????????

I was promissed a beautiful vacation and got a emty pocket from www.beginmyvacation it is a big scam. summer bay wouldn't take responsibility for their part in it.

How do i know if i won?

I am looking into the matter myself. Although many of you have questions I wouldn't take any harsh actions before due dilligence. If you can't get to the websites provided look on your credit card statement it has the phone number of the merchant try calling that number. If all else fails then talk to your credit card compnay. They'll be able to reverse the charge. Even if they don't cover fraud VISA not you credit card company will refund payment on goods or serveices never received. For those of you who have or will be going on these trips and have them all scheduled please let us know if it was worth the two hour phone call.

Well, I guess after reading all your e-mails my question has been answered. I lost my $. I went on-line this morning to schedule the great Disney trip I was promised for my kids spring break. I guess I've been taken advantage of the web page www.tainovacations.com is not there and no one answers the phone #1-800513-4524. Any suggestions? on how we can get our money back? Thank you for listening and helping, Jen

I got hosed. I called and put a hold on my credit card right after I found this site, which was about 5 min. after I got off the phone with the "sales reps" and it had already been posted on my account. Boy do they work fast. The name I was given was Jaime Williams, does this sound familiar? I also *69 my phone to get the number they called me from, after all the other numbers failed, and my phone just shut off. beginmyvacation.com is a hoax, I just can't believe I fell for it. I am going to try to contact the better business bureau and find out how to report this so that something can be done.
