They call pretending to be a research/survey group then falsely state that you have been awarded a 2 day 2 night cruise on the carribean cruiselines ship "Bahamas Celebration".
When you go to the "cruise line operator" at their boiler room you get a beautiful description of the wonderful cruise. Then a very quick "what credit card will you be using". They want you to send immediately $59 per person ($118 required, so the fee is actually per room). and Oh by the way you can wait up to 18 months to take this trip.
And then, there will be an additional $48 per person fuel upcharge and a $48 per room gratuity fee. So you will be paying $262 for a 2 day out-and-back trip on a cattle car.
This is a fraud is several ways. If you have been dumb enough to sign up, reverse the transaction immediately with your credit card company. It would be a good idea to change card numbers too since the boiler room folks sound really oily.
Here is a link to a person who actually got taken https://kingkabuz.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/caribbean-cruise-line-scam/
Report the cruise lhttp://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/stateattorneygenerallist.phpine to your local attorney general and to that of Florida here are the numbers for consumer fraud:
oh go ahead, I think it probably is the same thing I think. We have been on the DNC list forever, these jerks don't honor anything that is on the up and up because they are the take. Off with their heads!
Calling multiple times on all of our business lines. evidently actually hitting 9 to be removed from the call list only verifies that there is a legitimate answer and they just keep calling back. Would really like to stop these calls. They say they are a political survey group which gets them around the DNC list if I understand the rules correctly but they are realistically trying to sell a cruise.
