damn.. it don’t believe it your waja lost to a city. Are you nut? Many times on east-west highway, I have raced against a VTEC city and after more than 10 race, that city still cannot win any….. I still can overtake any city on any sweeping corners with cigarette on my hand…..

Comment on Eat and Stay Free / Freedom Escape scam? by John

Don’t tell me Freedom Escapes, or whatever name they are using now, are still in operation! Almost got caught 2 1/2 years ago. Paid the money, realised it was not what they promised and tried for a refund. No joy at all from the Dept of Fair Trading, but managed to get my refund through my bank. Told them we were interested in the ‘Eat and Stay Free’ deal, particularly in Sydney City and Cairns. Discovered that the hotels named to us were not part of this deal. Only two hotels in the Cairns area – one in Cooktown and one on the Atherton Tablelands. Also only two in Sydney – one in Woollahra and one some distamce from Central Station but restricted to Monday to Friday only and reservations only 14 days in advance. Also discovered that if you only want cereal and toast for breakfast, you pay for a full breakfast and if you only want main course and coffee for dinner, still required to pay for full meal. Some minimum charge would have been reasonable, but a full meal!!!! This was only part of the problem – my full letter to Dept of Fair Trading, my bank and Freedom Escapes, detailing broken promises and unexplained restrictions ran to three typed pages. Very surprised to find they are still operating under whatever name they now use. There are any number of genuine good deals available nowadays if you want to get away for a few days.

We just received a call from “Andrew Jackson”, accent not aussie or anglo. He talked for about an hour. My husband was convinced, the offer was real – pay only $209. You have 18 months in which to take 14 nights accommodation, in 200 locations across Australia. No extra charges whatsoever. Andrew provided details such as the company’s name and address, Lifestyle Dynamics Pty Ltd, level 7, 71 Walker St North Sydney 2059, ph 02 946 04178, ABN 0294604178.We checked the ABN online during the call – it’s been in place since 2005. My husband had given out all our contact details, and was giving him our credit card details when I put my hand over the card, stopping him, smelling a scam. We have since tried to find specific scam reports online. The closest I can find is this site. The name Andrew Jackson came up in my search of ‘holiday accommodation scam phone calls’. I concluded the phone conversation, asking Andrew to call back tomorrow. We need time to check it out. He phoned back in about half an hour, asking for the credit card number again. I told him he was being pushy, and that we suspected a scam. He quickly hung up. Please if you have more info on Lifestyle Dynamics p/L it would be useful to share it. The story is so close to Eat and Stay, and Freedom Escapes, even though meals were not mentioned.
