Dream Travel Condos anyone?
It took a long time for Bernie Madoff's scam to fall apart. Looks like Tonya's is on the way down the river. The bankruptcy court can deny her petition for bankruptcy if they conclude that she used fraudulent practices. File the findings with the bankruptcy court and see if that could generate an investigation into her business practices.

Unfortunately I have the same horrid experience. I rented a week from Tonya Williams at Dream Travel Condo through the VRBO site and paid for 1 week stay at a timeshare in St Marten. I have no confirmation for my vacation and they have no record of it being reserved. I have tried contacting her email & calling her, but to no avail. She has filed for bankruptcy. I contacted VRBO and they are investigating the situation and took her site down. Does not seem to be any recourse through VRBO. Left many people stranded in St Marten without reservations, the front desk had to frantically call other hotels to try and place them. I had to book another week through someone else because my airline tickets are already purchased. This has been a nightmare. Now I have paid for the same week twice. Have been traveling many years and never had such a thing happen. You would think if someone knew they were filing for bankruptcy they would no longer take your money. That would be the honest reputable way of doing things. I hope there is a mechanism to get our money back, after all, this is unfair and deceptive practices.

waiting to be accepted on the Facebook page. I really hope we can get enough people to prove that her actions were all premeditated. We have given her hundreds and thousands of dollars for blocks through 2016 and 17 in Aruba, Myrtle beach, Florida. She cannot get away with this!

I have just filed a complaint with the FTC. She got me for a VRBO listing (#362944) Wyndham bonett creek resort.I paid via paypal on January 29th. I also filed with Paypal to hopefully get refund of the money. Makes me wary to even rent again through anyone.

All vendors should file with the bankruptcy court to expose her business practices and ask them to deny her petition for bankruptcy. They can refer her case for criminal investigation if they see suspicious activity.

Tonya, I am in the same situation as Casey. We've booked Playa Linda March 8 - 15 2015 and I've got an auto generated email from VRBO that this listing is not valid anymore. Looking for you to clarify my situation. Office phone of Dream Travel Condos is invalid now, so is your cell phone on which we talked while I gave you my card information to paid in full. Please get in touch with me. As you understand we are very concern with the situation. thanks!

just recieved a bankruptcy notice in the mail from Mississippi Northern District. Dream Travel Condos (Tonya) is the filer/debtor. The case is proceeding through court system. OF NOTE; document says NOT to file claims now since "there does not appear to be any property available to the trustees to pay creditors"

File a claim with the bankruptcy court and ask them to deny her petition for bankruptcy due to fraud if she took money knowing she was not going to provide a service. They court can refer her case for criminal prosecution. Especially the vendors need to file complaints.

She should have her protection voided. Tonya met with an attorney regarding bankruptcy, took money from a guest on a Friday and filed bankruptcy on a Tuesday. Clearly intentional. No assets - almost sure she sent the money offshore. She knew that this was coming. Can her personal assets be touched if it is proven that this scheme was felony fraud?
