Previous posts are correct. Several times each day I receive phone calls from this number, no voicemail. I occasionally answer so that I can be as rude as the calling "travel scammers", but they never respond to my , "Hello?" All i hear is unprofessional background conversation, then the call drops. When I return the call, thats when I get the Hello, whats your name, credit card, etc script. LOL. Are they serious?
The company is Newport Travel! They have called me 16 times even though I asked them to stop. First I was very polite and then gradually related my request to stop in a more candid manner, but of course they will not stop. Recently I tried a new approach. I sound excited and consistently respond with "what a great deal". I also keep asking questions in order to increase the duration of the phone call. Adventually the conversation progresses to the point where they would like a credit card number. I them tell them I not comfortable with giving this information over the phone. I then get immediately escalated to a manager... they think they have a fish on the hook. Eventually the manager asks how I book other vacations and I reply with a credit card of course! However I can not trust their company because I've trusted them with my phone number and they are abusing it. I have receive 16 calls so far and I've ask very politely to please stop.Since they will not my approach is to keep them on the phone as long as possible waisting their time as they have been doing with my time. So far I have not yet received another call but time will tell. I would not recomend this company in any way due to their business practices. Do your neighbors a favor and post this as often as possible!!! Feel free to copy!!!
