I "won" a trip with Mexico Paradise Vacations and paid my required $100 deposit. A few months into selecting my vacation spots, I began to be bothered by the amount of information required and the extra money they were requesting to make the booking - just the booking! I looked in the blogs and read about this scam so I requested a refund for my deposit back in April 2009. It is October and after multiple calls and e-mails, still no refund and they tell me its not even being processed! The customer service rep. tells my they are backed up because of the swine flu scare but that it no longer an excuse! I'm sure I'm not the only person they have robbed and I hope anyone looking to purchase anything from this company reads this - MEXICO PARADISE VACATIONS ARE A FRAUD!!!
