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.

I got the same call, from the same 347 294 4658 number, same VTS Marketing (Vacation Travel Services), same story about how they got my name at the Portland Winter Alefest. Same pressure. I actually thought it might be real because I heard about how high pressure timeshare selling can be, and she mentioned a timeshare-type meeting. Then I found this page. Thanks Internet.
I received a call from this number probably shortly before or after XYZ did. I was busy so just let my phone ring and then checked to see what was up when I had the time. I'm glad I wasn't available to take the call and that a site like this exists! (I too went to the Portland Winter Alefest.)
Wasn't Winter Ale Fest awesome? The only bad taste that I left with wasn't a seasonal beer that was too hoppy, but unfortunately the bad taste came tonight when I got that call. I am a gullible man and really wanted to give my parents a great wedding anniversary party. Guess not.
The number I got was 347-294-4657.
Sorry if that happened to you. Try to get out of it ASAP.
Company name: VTS Marketing. When I told her I didn't have the funds, she told me that disqualified me and immediately hung up. Gotta be a scam, right?
