Posted by Received NO Refund on 7/27/05 To whom it may concern: The Consumer Protection Unit of the Santa Clara County (CA) District Attorney's Office is investigating consumer complaints regarding the following business entities: Travel Selections, Inc. International Grand Tours (IGT) If you have booked individual or group travel, they would appreciate you contacting Suzana Gal at sgal@da.sccgov.org or you can call her at (408) 792-2845. Since time limits apply to all legal cases, this should be done asap to avoid impairment of your legal rights.
