Not Fun for Life but Resort One Travel

Why FFL Today?

The answer is simple, the offer on WagJag today. --94% Off a Travel Club Membership-
The company not Fun For Life Club International but Resort One Travel, specifically,$300 ($200 Initiation Fee & $99 Yearly Fee) for a Lifetime Resort One Travel Membership (A $4,995 Value). The website for Resort One Travel is

http://www.resortonetravel.com/

The phone number is 702-873-5425, a Las Vegas, Nevada number.

A Google search for this number, returns several interesting possibilities:

http://www.showmelocal.com/profile.aspx?bid=1531254
http://www.womenfightingback.com/
http://www.lvol.com/lvlc/media/media-web.html

and others, a versatile phone number.

The Resort One Travel website does not provide an address, however the Travel Logic Service website is identified as Resort One Vacations in the Google Search, although Resort One does not seem to be mentioned on any of the Travel Logic Website pages. They do share the telephone number however.

The fact that Resort One is a member of the US Chamber of Commerce might be nice, however it should provide little comfort to the consumer as to quote from the Commerce’s FAQ

“Is [COMPANY NAME] a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce?

Membership in the U.S. Chamber is open to any company, and does not imply our endorsement of the organization. We will not confirm the membership status of organizations. To find out if a specific company is a member, you will have to contact the company directly.

If the purpose of your request is to determine the validity of a company, we suggest that you contact the Better Business Bureau or your state and local consumer protection agencies, many of which can be found here. The Federal Trade Commission also has a useful website for consumers.”

A search of the Better Business Bureau is somewhat useful but at the same time puzzling,

The puzzling part is the original phone number is a Nevada phone number, however two of these three businesses are in Ohio and one is in Florida. The one in Mount Vernon, Ohio is accredited and does have an A+ rating.

Clicking on The VIP Members link on the Resort One Website takes you to the following website,

When you click on the Mount Vernon, Ohio Resort One Website link on the BBB website it takes you to this website,
http://www.resortoneclub.com/

You are invited to enter the site and when you follow the link, you and up at
http://www.resortoneweeks.com/

The two non accredited Resort Ones do not have a website link on the BBB website.

The question that needs to be answered is what is the connection between the Nevada, Florida, and Ohio Resort One’s?

The other question I would pose is the Resort One advertised on WagJag a local company (ie, Ontario or even Canada) and if it is why is there no local contact information available?

  1. Thank you for putting this together! It's a time share scam without the time share presentation. Shame on Wagjag for associating with this 'company'.

    1. We are a victim of this Resort One Travel Scam..... they took advantage of us as older retired people wishing to travel for less.... and scammed us out of $3, 000.00 for nothing in return.
