I got a call from that (305) 599-3227 number a couple of weeks ago and they told me i won a free vacation, i told them no thank you, i used to work with Time Shares so i know all the tricks. But the other day i heard them advertise on the radio station 94.9 Mega as well.
My name is Carlos, I have a wife and a 3 year old child. I was scammed by this “Magic Tours.” It began when I was listening to Radio 94.9 Mega, the Spanish radio station. They said “who ever can name the song will get a free vacation.” I called in, and got it right. They told me i was the tenth caller and i won a radio contest for 94.9 Mega (today I found out they were only a commercial on 94.9 Mega). I would get a free “vacation package” for 3 people, in the Marriot Hotels in either Orlando, Daytona, Las Vegas, or Cancun (Cancun ended up being BS). They told me it was a $3,500 vacation which i will be getting for free, and everything will be COMPLETELY paid for and they will pay everything, and all i would have to pay is the taxes which was $400.00. Which I agreed because I never won anything in my life.
I gave them my credit card number to pay the 400$, and they told me it was non-refundable, and I agreed. I spoke to the individual for over 35 minutes. At the end of the 35 minutes the call ended by him saying, “pleasure to do business with you, hope you will enjoy your vacation” and I said “thank you so much for everything” and as I was hanging up he said “ok, just remember plane tickets are not included.” I replied “EXCUSE ME?” But it was too late and he already hung up. I called right back and a woman picked up, I told her what happened, and she said “that is correct plane tickets are not included.” And then she put me on hold for twenty minutes and then the line got disconnected, so I called back and they told me to call customer service in the morning and complain. The next few days I consistently called customer service and I was told by them, every time something different like: “leave a message,” “call this number,” “send in a fax,” etc… and I got the run around for 3 days until I finally got worn out. So I decided to just bite the bullet and go on the vacation, I live in the Florida Keys so to Orlando it is 6 hour drive. Plus they told me I would get a free pass from them to “one” Disney theme park. So this past Saturday I took my wife and my 3 year old son to Orlando, so I can take my son to Disney.
We arrived at the Marriot at Orlando on Saturday night, and when I got there there were 200 other people just like me who also were told they won something. I was confused and didn’t know what was going on. All off a sudden I realized I was duped into a “time share.” I realized that it was a scam, there was nothing paid for as they promised, except for the room. Which even, THAT, wasn’t paid for by them, because it was paid for with ‘my’ $400. So I went to the reception and pretended like I was a visitor and asked her “how much is it per room tonight” and her reply was “Throughout all of January, February, and March we are running a special 3 night package for $75 per night or a 4 night package for $50 per night. Which would total $200.” I was pissed. I was paying 100$ a night for a room which was currently 50$ a night.
The next day, Sunday, I was forced to sit at the “time share” which I was told was going to be no more than a half hour long presentation. It started at 11:00AM, I was planning on it lasting until 11:30 and then being able to arrive at Disney with my son and wife at 12:00. But I was held there and held there, at the “time share” until 4:30PM. And by 4:30 I realized considering all the traffic and everything it would have taken me an hour to arrive to Disney, and if I would arrive at Disney at 5:30, and by that time, the whole day will be lost. So I couldn’t take my kid to Disney yesterday as I promised him. So I had no choice but to take the long drive back home, because me and my wife had work the next day. I am pissed, I still have 3 more nights at the Marriot that I can use, but I don’t even care anymore. I complained to my credit card today, and they told me “vacation packages” are non-refundable. I am considering on just letting it go because it will be too much head-ache for me, and I learned for my lesson.

My dad told me he won a trip & that if I called up "they" would transfer the trip he won to me (4 days in Orlando 3 days in Daytona & Park entry- all expenses paid except flight & taxes). I called, they sounded professional & took my debit info for the $314.29 plus taxes. Something did feel funny & now I feel so stupid after reading this website. I don't even want to admit this to my husband. Calling my bank didn't help- they were suggesting that I cancel my card & wait to get my new card- which is not a viable option for me since I use this card for everyday expenses. My other option was to complete a "dispute form". I now feel resigned to go along with this... I finished calling "5 star" & they told me I couldn't get my $ back & that when I asked about the time-share commitment, they said that would only be a morning-breakfast situation & that I would get 1 day at Universal, plus 1 day at wet &wild (&/or?) Disney Quest. :( then they go & politely wish you to have a nice day.
