Travel company scam. Newport Escape Vacations. Told me I bought a trip in 2011 that was going to expire and they wanted me to use it. HUGE problems years ago when they did this same thing to me. I unfortunately fell for their line, and instead of the promised 3 years to use the trip, they called me at 18 months and said it was expiring if I did not pay more money. After speaking to multiple people to try to fix, I told them what I thought of their company and practices. They stopped calling at that point, but then started calling me again at the three year mark saying it was about to expire. Now, a few years later, they are calling again (under a different name this time) stating they don't want me to lose the trip. When I demanded their corporate office address and phone number, they disconnected on me. They have called me 20 times in the last two days. If they call you, make sure you talk to them for a long, long time about the weather. They burn through money pretty fast if all of their employees are on the phone talking about how cold it gets in Siberia instead of making sales.
