AVC Travel prize scam exposed – what to do!
Summary — +18882612595
Expert Opinion
Block the number 1‑888‑261‑2595 as soon as you see it, because it’s tied to a widespread prize‑offer scam. The letters use high‑value items—Mercedes, BMW, cruise vouchers—to lure recipients into scheduling appointments that lead to pressure telemarketer sales. Never give personal or payment info to callers who demand immediate action; instead verify the company through official channels or the Better Business Bureau. Report the unwanted calls to the FCC and your carrier, and forward the fraudulent letter to the Postal Inspection Service. Using call‑blocking apps and a spam filter can also stop repeat attempts.

Similar letters and communications from various companies, including AVC Travel out of Dallas, TX, have been received over the past couple of months, prompting me to verify their legitimacy online due to suspicions of scam activity.
I recieved the same letter from AVC Travel, with a diferent number 1-888-768-6157, on April 15, 2008, it had the same info, a free trip, car, etc, perhaps we should arrange a class-action suit and put them out of bussiness.
Seems like alot of people already say this, but i got a call saying i won a prize, like a car or something, it look pretty legit but you know how it is
Grateful for this website's information, it has become clear that a postcard from AVC Claims Center, with a phone number and address provided, is a scam, and many others have fallen victim to similar tactics.

I recived a letter with two voucheres, one for a trip to Carribean and an other to Vegas
Although I didn't receive a call, I got a letter and vouchers that seemed to be from a company similar to e-tour and travel, which I had a bad experience with in the past, and I would advise others to be cautious of such mailings
I'm unsure if this call is related to a tour and travel company.
I just have a question,,,
Upon receiving a letter from 2400 W. Pionner PKWY., Suite 210, Arlington, TX 76013, I contacted them and they arranged an appointment, claiming I had won a prize worth $49,000, including a Mercedes Benz M-class, BMW x5, or Porsche Cayenne, among other options. Thankfully, after reviewing your comments, I decided not to attend the appointment, realizing it was a scam. The convincing boarding voucher they provided was almost believable, so I appreciate your posts, which helped me avoid this trap.

Hello every body
Similar to the experience of the Lady from Texas, I'm also from Texas, and I can attest that this is a scam. When I called to cancel the local appointment, the sales representative was very hostile. Please do not engage with this company!

Pioneer Pkwy Suite 210 , Arlington, Tex 76013..(empty shopping mini mall at this location), apparantly its about a Mercedes, a travel voucher on a Royal Carribean cruise...plus an extra travel voucher to Las Vegas, sounds alot like a timeshare sceme
A letter was received claiming a win in a Royal Carribean cruise, Mercedes, and cash, but it was likely a scam
I received junk mail containing this phone number, claiming I had won a prize from AVC Vacations.

The purpose of this phone number appears to be associated with deceptive marketing tactics, claiming false winnings such as a Mercedes or a $25 gift certificate, with the intention of enticing individuals into their scheme. It's crucial to be cautious of such narratives.
