I have had a disturbing report from a reader, regarding a timeshare promotion slyly presented as a bargain luxury vacation in Florida and a cruise to the Bahamas.
Does anyone know anything about this scam, especially who is behind it, and how does a punter get their deposit back? This company does not answer emails, and uses a telephone number usable only within the USA.

According to the small print, you have a meagre 30 days to cancel the contract made over the telephone. After that, no refund at all. The vacation must be taken within 18 months, but it can be extended, as long as it's done BEFORE the expiry date. If you don't, then kiss your money goodbye. I wonder how much they make that way?

I learned this year that the old liner Ocean Breeze (originally the Southern Cross), used by Takemeonvacation, was sold to India for breaking up.
