Received a call stating that a "trip has been won." They demanded a credit card right away. Thank goodness it was easily determined that the phone call was from a scammer. However, the 12 minute sales pitch cost me $40. This so called travel company is trying to sell to Ontario residents, however they must be registered with TICO, which they arent. If you see a 718 phone number, DO NOT PICK IT UP!
I received a call from a gentleman asking me if I was sitting down because he had some "exciting news for me" and told me that I won a trip or cruise from FL to the bahamas. I was at a wedding show this past weekend and this is where this guy said he got my number from. Although he did not ask for my credit card number, he asked for an expiration date to verify that I had an existing card. He then told me to go the the www.bahamascelebration.com to register. Seemed a little fishy to me, I hung up on him. My fiance who also went to the show has received numerous calls from this number, but was asked to provide a credit card number.
I got a call this morning from 718-228-0785 asking for my husband, he was at work so I asked to take a msg but they hung up. My husband TXT me later in the day to say that number called his cell...fishy because he just got a new number and no one has it yet! A little later, I got another call this time for me, She said "are you sitting I have the greatest news" I beat her to it and said "I bet I won a trip to the Bahamas" She went on to say for only $299 US PP all this can be yours, I hung up!
18 months ago I fell for the scam, gave them my credit card and they took off $299 X2 US. I waited for my package to arrive in the mail it was all fake, their was NO TRIP they just want your money.
I had signed up for a raffle at a Coffee & Tea festival in NYC, and they called me and told me that though I hadn't won the prize, I had won a vacation to Florida. I was wary because of other scams I had heard about involving vacations and cruises, and by the time the guy got to the end of his shpeel, he asked for $299 per person and told me of other fees that there would be. He required that I should pay for at least 1 ticket right then and there, I said that I wouldn't, and he hung up soon after.
Totally a scam.
