They said they have a website RTAvacations.com and numbers they gave me were: 1-800-231-1298
1-800-238-2549
1-800-206-5703
8-day Vacation to Florida and Naussau Bahamas with a "Discovery" cruise all for $249.
Plus tix to Universal/Disney/etc. also a visit with "vacation ownership"
I put my name in a draw at the Edmonton body soul and spirit expo too!
I thought it was a prank from the beginning because there was no caller ID.
I even asked, seriously? honestly? is this a joke?
He assured me it was not. When I told him I could not get to a computer he said he wanted to clairfy some things. Name "correct", Age "yes", then he asked if "I had a major credit card" and when I said no he said "sorry you don't qualify for your prize" and HUNG UP ON ME.
Googling this site gave me a heads-up about this scam, so thanks guys. We entered a draw for laughs to "Win a Vacation or a Harley Motorcycle" at the Food Show in Toronto this past weekend, and I got a call from 1-718-228-0175 on both my cell and my home phones, all between 3:30pm and 4:40pm EST for the past three days. I didn't pick up because I don't know anyone from New York, and the only message they left was on my voicemail, the ringing of them calling the next number (this happened both times they called my cell). So I looked up the number, and here we are. Looks like they've been at this for a while. My aunt, who signed up with me, also got a call, and they told her that she won the trip, but she realized it was a scam.
Given the past three days, I think I'm due for another call in just a couple of hours, so we'll see.
That'll teach us to sign up for contests for a laugh, I guess.
I was recently at a Beerfest 2010 in Calgary and received a call today from 1-718-822-0725 (a New York number).
The man said i've got some good news that i won a trip to Florida/Bahamas you need a credit card and they will pay for 75% of the vacation and i pay 25% for a trip for two. He said do you have a pen and paper with you and I said i don't have my credit card with me and he said he would call on Friday.
I was really excited at first and thank god i saw this site because it is definitely a huge scam. I tried calling the number today and there was no voice mail just kept ringing. DON'T give them your info there going to screw you over.
I went to the TORONTO Beer&Cocktail party last wknd and entered this draw. The guy who called me, Daniel Smith (how original), asked me right after for my credit card info after telling me "Ive won". I asked him why he needed it considering this was a FREE trip I entered for, then he dropped the whole $299 deal. This is all a load of crap. Who calls someone and expects them to give their credit card info w/out question? Sketchy. Considering some of you are in N.J, some of you are in NYC, and IM ALL THE WAY in Canada, but weve all won? Losers and liars. Protect your wallets people.
Liars, cheaters, losers, scammers ... thats them! Dont do it. They called me today, I went to a cocktail show this wknd in Toronto, and both me and my girlfriend put in ballots for a trip to the Bahamas. When Daniel Smith (lie) called me, he said I needed a CC, that I needed to pay a $299 fee. I told him Id get one and he said he'd phone me in 10 min. In the meantime, I called my girlfriend who went to the same show w/ me and put in a ballot as well. She said it sounded fishy. I hit up Google and found all the info on these do***ebags. Turns out, SCAMMMMERS! I told her about what I had found, and told her to text everybody we went with to warn them. 10 minutes later, "Daniel Smith" called me back and I told him I knew he was a scammer and I wasnt interested and I hungup on him. 3 hours later my girlfriend sends me a text, turns out SHE "WON" TOO! Good thing I warned her :)
