im not sure Iif this is/was a scam. They called saying they were from Preferres Guest services and they were offering 4 platinum vacations to FL, Daytona Beach, Bahamas, and Mexico for $349. I told them I needed to discuss it with my husband first and see if it was a scam and then all of a sudden they hung up! They were really pushy! Here's my notes from the conversation:

However, once I started to question they're authenticity they became really vague, elusive, and shady and then they hung up on me! So, I looked up those number on my caller ID and tried to call them back and all I got was a weird beeping noise, almost as if it were a fax number!
My conclusion was, if it sounds too good to be true, then it's probably a scam! They must've asked for my credit card number 50 times!
They call almost everyday. Sometimes 2-3 times. I think they should die. If homicide was legal, I'd hunt them down myself. That would put an end to their calls seeing that being polite, not-so-polite and downright vulgar hasn't gotten through to these scumbags.
Got the same call with "a great vacation offer to FL." I live in FL why would I want to vacation here? Anyway it's a Telemarking scam that will cost you a lot of money. If you see the caller ID says Kissimmee just don't answer. If you do answer 9 times out of 10 it's the auto dialer and no one on the other end. Kim is correct. Wyndham Vacations is located in Kissimmee/ Orlando so it makes sense. Don't believe ANYTHING they tell you. I am an RCI member and have dealt with Wyndham in the past. Due to Wyndham acquiring RCI things have gone down hill for the RCI members. Careful with the timeshare pushers its not what they tell you, it's what they don't tell you.
