Subject: Class Action suit for Royal Holiday
Dear "Prey" of Royal Holiday Scammers:
I got your email from the website postings on ABCnews.com regarding the royal holiday vacation scams. I was taken advantage of by this company, too. Still fighting but it looks like a losing battle.
I am interested in investigating what it would take to get a law put into effect for USA consumers to have 30 days to void any contract that purchases an intangible item with a life value of more than a year. I work for our local consumer action group but something like this is a bigger issue and would require quite a bit of preparation to get people's attention, but the fact 20/20 did an episode on it helps a LOT!
Your participation would require completing a form I create, providing your name and address, dates and places you were taken advantage of, what actions you have taken thus far, if your agreement was paid for with a credit card, and other assorted details. It would NOT require your social security number or bank account, credit card number (though the bank that issues it would be required) or any other information that is secure. It would also require your signature, an agreement that your information can and would be shared, a $10 donation to offset the costs of me doing this and making the copies to send initially to my senator. The result would be that you, too, would get a complete copy (by email, but able to be printed on white paper) and you would be asked at a later time to complete a letter and sign it and mail it, more than likely to the US Attorney General's Office. I am also investigating whether credit card companies can allow you to make the charge but then refuse to fight for you when it's clear this company runs a fraudulent operation!
If you are interested, please email me by August 5th, 2008 (and pass this along to anyone else you might know who has been scammed by these people).
Thank you,
