I received the attached “Invitation” to attend a travel expo. No return address on post card. When I called I was asked all of my pertinent info and confirmed a seat on Thursday at 6 for this expo. When I asked if they were local the phone rep handed me off to “Dean”, who proceeded to tell me the company was web based, home office in New York and that he had been with the company for 10 years or so. He was flippant and very vague. When I checked the ScamPulse.com data base I didn’t find them.

We received a postcard showing an airplane flying over a beach with the words "Southwest Getaways Anniversary" on the front of the card. Inside was a message inviting us to Southwest Getaways VIP Travel Expo, promising two round trip, coach class airline vouchers to most major airports in the continental United States. The earliest callers will also receive a 3-day, 2 night stay at major 3 and 4 star hotels, such as Hilton, Hyatt and Marriott. No purchase is required. When we called their 800 number, a man named Dean explained that it was a giveaway to promote a new travel agency. We researched this scam on the web and learned that it would be best to avoid attending this "fun-filled" event.
