Travel scams in America
Richard Blumenthal, attorney general, Connecticut:
"Very often the damage we find is not only lost money but dashed hopes and expectations. Ruined times together as
families"
JOHN SPIELMAN, CTC/manager, World Travel Services:
"Know who you're dealing with. Really that’s the best thing. We're dealing with people’s dreams and hard earned
money."
Sally Hurme, consumer protection, AARP:
"You want to be sure you’re dealing with a company that is established in your community, someone who is going to
be there to solve your problems.
Sally Hurme, consumer protection, AARP:
"You don't want to send in a deposit and hope you get the details in the future. Be sure that you have everything in
writing before you send in a penny to anyone."
Sally Hurme, consumer protection, AARP:
"If somebody is saying that they have a fantastic offer but it's only good for today, that is a sure sign that it’s a bad
deal."
