Global travel services, Inc.
 
We recently were sent a postcard from Global Travel Services, Inc. to come and listen to a sales presentation about their travel services and we would get a cruise trip just for listening. We went to the presentation and decided not to sign up for their travel services, which would have cost $8,100 to join. It sounded too good to be true! Does anyone know anything about this outfit? Has anyone joined? Did we make a mistake by not joining?

Hmm, I cannot think of a polite way to ask if you are joking, other than are you joking?!

What you write sounds to me like standard trap-them-in-a-room to get sign ups, a hard sell on something that would never really benefit you as much as promised.

Thanks so much for all your responses. I'm glad I trusted my gut feeling.
