Don’t pay anything to this company. They are frauds and they are no longer in business as of 9-25-2009 .

Dr. Christopher Greene is the head of this scam and the artist. I just wish a lawyer in Florida would start a class action suit against him and Monica his wife.

We got a call 6 months ago and one last night. We took a trip to Vegas at Imperial Palace April 2003. Said we owe $400.00 because we didn’t fulfill are agreement. both times asked to email proof. !st time said he would never heard. Last night my husbnad asked again said he would husband hung up he called back said why hang up said email said he could’t. Husband got upset and said fine send to collections. We don’t remember signing up for time share. Right after we signed up tried to cancel they would’t let us. Told him I called Imperial Palace and could get rooms 42.00 a night where they charged us $155.00. They already made money on us. The fellow calling was a number from Arkansas. Any help in what to do if they keep calling?

I to was contacted by them and the thing about the timeshare we never even did, nor ever heard about it..but they booked my name at Terrible.s and I am waiting for them to fax me a copy of my signature-which isn”t mine either.Terrible’s (talked to Richard Dudek) said that just today he had received many phone calls about the same scam..My advice-be real careful with your receipts,bills and don’t sign up for contests on the computer..and check your statements very careful..

I don’t get it. Why do people ever deal with these companies? Three timeshare tours? Is it really worth it?

I too was contacted last evening around 8:45 pm by Florida Class-Leisure Time Travel and Summer Bay Resorts regarding a hotel stay with Tuscany Suites in Las Vegas in July of 2004. The same story, I hadn’t taken my timeshare tour and I was in default of my contract. In the first place I never would have agreed to take a timeshare tour anywhere! So I was not aware of this at the time I booked my reservations with some company on the internet, which at this time I do not know the name of! I was told I have to pay $496 last night or it would be turned over today for collections in the amount of $1500. At this moment I’m doing lots of research into this company and will be filing many complaints against them.

I received several calls from a Mike Thomas and Josh Mills telling me we owed $496.00 for a 90 minute presentation we did not attend in 2004 at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. Many threats and said not to mess with him as he would get me. Claimed he was associated with the Venetian Hotel and was going to cancel our credit rating, arrange a court case etc. and if we didn’t pay the $496.00 now it would be $4000.00. He also claimed to be a lawyer. We know this is a scam but very annoying as he says he can call us twice a day for 7 years. I have contacted the credit bureau and the F B I also the R.C.M.P. in Ottawa. The scary part is he has our credit card number which of course has been canceled. Of interest to all of you I got his name, address and email. Josh MIlls Leisure Time World Wide, 2904 North Patterson St., Suite G, Valbosba, Georgia, 31602. Email Leisure time World ymill.com

In Sept of 2008, we purchased a vacation package deal and prepaid for the package. The terms of the agreement are that we must take the trip or extend the package within 18 months. We received a call tonight from FCTC, a representative who identified themselves as a legal office calling on fraudulent accounts and that we must pay another 600+ dollars since we did not take our trip or extend our package within 12 months. My fiance dealt with them for the first 30 minutes or so and tried to explain to them that we only purchased it a year ago, and our agreement states 18 months that we have to take it. They kept insisting that he needed to pay more money or they would file a lawsuit against us, and they called my fiance a liar because he told them that our package was not expired yet. I took the phone from him as he was very upset at this point (his God Daughter was killed in a car accident this morning) and he just couldn’t deal with their aggressive behavior towards him. I apologized for getting into the conversation so late and asked them what was going on. They basically told me that they needed authorization to charge our credit card for more money. I asked them why since our package was not up, and asked them to point me to the place in the contract where it stated that we only had 12 months. He tried a few times to direct me to the spot, and then made the comment that they have several different versions, but insited that we were fraudulent. I then read our agreement to him so he could understand what exactly it is that we bought. Nowhere in that document that I read to him did it support what they were saying to us, but still insisted that we were fraudulent. The representative then put another guy on the phone, as I heard him say “Dude, seriously you gotta do something or I’m gonna do something to somebody”. I understood this to mean that he was just as frustrated as we were, but I also felt a little threatened. The next guy that got on the phone proceeded to call me a liar and tell me that we were trying to pull something over on their company, and that they are going to take us to court. I offered to fax them the contract that we purchased, but he wasn’t interested in that, he just kep telling me that I was lying. I asked to speak to his boss and he responded that he is as high up as I could go in that company and that he is the director of their legal department. I commented that I was surprised that a director of a legal department calls customers liars and isn’t interested in seeing the documentation. He threatened to hang up on me, so I hung up on him. We didn’t ask for them to call us in the first place, or to argue with us and insult us. About 5 minutes later they called back and wanted us to fax the contract so they could use it against us when they take us to court. He clearly did not call back to attempt to resolve the issue, he just called back to threaten us again. I told him that I was done dealing with him and that I will follow up with consumer affairs.

Luckily, we never authorized any additional charges, as we were quite confident in the agreement details and that we were not in default of our agreement.

I also called the credit card company and informed them that we are not authorizing any charges from them in case they attempt to charge us anyway.
