called, saying I had the offer to get plane tickets from a draw I had entered. Insisted repeatedly I give them my credit card number and payed the $299.00 per person over the phone. I had told the "caller" I wasn't going to give my credit card info over the phone due to so many scams going on but they kept on insisting I give her my credit card info. I eventually told the lady I was not going to give her my info and hung up. I searched the internet and found that the number is run from a company by the name of "Teleport Communications Group" out of New York, NY.

Just like "Hmm" above - I just got a call from some woman saying that I had "won a Florida vacation" and all I had to do was pay $300.
While the offer sounded awesome, I was really skeptical about shelling out $300 to some random people and giving my credit card number out over the phone.
I think it is one of those situations in which it sounded too good to be true therefore it probably was.
