1800SkyRide is a telemarketing fraud. They sell trips and sporting events that do not exist. The company operates under different names:

1800Skyride
Adventure Skydiving Center
Adventure Sports
Luxergy
IGO Vincent
Spagoda
Tandora
Granter Media
Thrill Planet
Soaring Sports
Hot Air Balloon Team

The address of the company:
2593 Kennesaw Due West Rd Ste 300
Kennesaw, Ga 30144


They refuse to give refunds to customers, there are hundreds of unresolved complaints with BBB. Stay away from this company. When a customer wants a refund because most of the time they were sold something that did not exist or was given false information on locations, they refuse to give it and offer a different activity which again is either a fraud or hundreds of miles away from the client.

I've launched complaints with BBB, FTC, and The Attorney General. If you are reading this because you paid this company money and want it back, send your complaint to the above places as well. I hope we can beat this company if we do it together.

    They took my money and made me skydive out of a hot air baloon. Now I am lame. 1800SkyRide.com is bad and so is Cary Quattrocchi.

        Thank you! I don't have the money to file, so I have called and left a message.  I may write a letter.  Thanks for your help.  I still haven't told my family about this ...I am so embarrassed.  I have never been a part of a scam.  It hurts because I really did not have the money in the first place to buy the GC's.  I just hope this stops!  I am confident that God will bring these dark episodes to light.  God Bless

          I have started a Facebook Group that hopefully will grow to begin either a class action lawsuit, or will cause enough PUBLIC negative attention that they will begin to issue refunds!! Join me!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/262884993814855/

            The facebook link does not work.
            I will gladly join the group.
            I've contacted the D.A. in Atlanta, the FBI in Atlanta, Local TV consumer advocates, and other groups that I hoped would help. Let's get the name of this company out there so that others won't be scammed.

          Call your CC now. You can show them a link to this site to prove that the company is a scam. You have time to do that. I have tried to book my balloon ride several times for over a year now. THEY never answer my calls. My CC company will not reverse the charges because I waited too long.

      My lawyer just confirmed that this company was owned by Lilliam Dejesus of 304 Trotter Way Dallas, Ga. 30132. The other posts here to the contrary are likely meant to confuse those that have been scammed by Lilliam Dejesus and her partner Fred Burke. I now have a judgment against her and Fred and am looking for information about where they have a bank account. My lawyer also obtained her latest phone number and verified it today.


      Call her at 770-265-7334 and you can verify this for yourself.  Date 3-22-2013

        What state are you from?  I am interested in filling suit as well.  Perhaps your lawyer can handle multiple claims.

    I was scammed too.  Why are these people still being allowed to advertise and not get caught?

    they sold me tickets for places within my area and when i try to fly from those areas they all "just dropped out of the program" they didn't tell me there was a height and weight limit. i've tried to sky dive from virginia, north caolinan maryland, iowa, and chicago. don't get sucked in.

    the bad ones always crumble. their day will come!
