We actually ended up having no problems booking the trip. Had a great time, no problems. We did have to sit through the time share presentation, but got our accomodations for 6 nights, and tickets to Universal Studios. it worked out to be a good deal, not a scam at all.

Oh Yeah. Call your credit card company and ask them for they info.
If you have been charged, you may place a dispute on those charges within 60 to 90 days of the day of the charge.
I just got the same call about the trip i supposedly won (thought it was a time-share company probably, but evidentally worse than that) . I didn't give them any credit card info, but I'm not sure if they are just looking to scam people or steal identities.
I just got a call from 347 294 4658, girl named Gloria sounded really sincere, and chatty. Talked me through two 7-day vacations I had won, one in Orlando and one in Cabo. Then asked for $199 for each person going on the trip, as a processing fee. She wouldn't let me hang up or call back, or even double check their authenticity.
She said she got my info from a raffle I'd filled out at an ale festival in Portland, OR. She called at 7 PM PST, on a Monday, from New York, which was even sketchier. I might have bit, but my girlfriend was smarter than I was and told me to hang up. I'm glad this site exists.
I fell for it. I've never fallen for anything like this before, but since I submitted a card at an actual event I would have thought the event would have screened this type of thing better.
Either way, same story. I was called, I gave my cc info, instantly regretted it and had to wait until the payment went through on my card to dispute it (showed as pending for a couple days). I tried calling direct to request a cancellation, emailed, etc...but good luck contacting them!
Anyone thinking this isn't a scam, try calling the number on their website and seeing if you can contact anyone. www.vtsmarketing.com
For anyone else who has been scammed, call your credit card company and dispute the charge! They reversed mine within 48 hours!
