I got a call about 2 weeks ago from these people. Saying I have been selected to win a buy one get one free airline ticket, a $500.00 gas card, and a free 4 day 3 night stay of MY choice of over 500 hotels and said a list would be sent so I could get started.. by the way I never did get a list, I repeatedly asked why they would give away so much for no money and she said because they would hope that after staying I would recommend them...
After talking with this lady, I was transferred to a man, he said he was through a travel agency and that I had a choice to pick between four cruises.. I said I don't think I'm old enough to go (most say you must be 23 years of age) and I also told him I didn't have a passport and he said that's ok I just need my ID!! he just said well how old are you? I said 21 and he said "oh yeah, over the age of 18 you will definately be ok" so i kept listening, but towards the end he wanted my card number. he said it was for the hotel reservations for a SECURITY purpose and it would not be charged. Then he said that I get to pick 4 choices of magazines for $60.00 a month for 60 months or some amount close to that. He was rambling on and said I am going to be recorded for quality purposes and told me what to say, he said "when I ask you how many magazines you're getting, you're going to say 7. when I ask you how much you are going to pay, you say $60.00 for 60 months." blah blah blah...... I then interupted him and told him no way to cancel everything and he kept saying "how about this option for only $2.00, or this for $4.00" I just said NO WAY you are sounding really fishy and he said ok we'll call someone else for the giveaway and I said ok I'm sorry and he hung up. Now I have charges to my account.... I need to solve this.

#1 Ex-Employee

They are all the same people

AUTHOR: R&b Girl - Aguilar (U.S.A.)

I worked for this company a while back. We are all the same people. When we got a sale we would ring our bell and have a person who got promoted to close the deal. We would tell them that it was our supervisor but just a regular employee who was stronger than we were. So most likely the tour guide was just another employee. We would get bonuses if we got so many sales. So people just watch out the closers have a whole sheet of rebutals any question you have they have an answer for all they have to do is read the answers. Depends on sales you were sent home if you didn't have at least 2 sales in morning. Hopefully they changed a little but dont believe everything you hear.
Ask for:
where is your main office.
can i call you back.
what is your operator code.
can i have your main office number before I give you my credit card number.
Let me talk to my spouse.

They will have answers to all these questions right away.

You should have contested these charges with your credit card company...

AUTHOR: Joe - Austin (U.S.A.)

AND THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED THE POLICE OR YOUR STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND REPORTED THIS ENTIRE SCAM.

THIS IS TERRIBLE!

NOW YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CANCEL YOUR CARD SO THEY WILL STOP SPENDING IT

AND YOU NEED TO CONTACT THE THREE CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED SO THEY WILL PUT A FRAUD ALERT ON YOUR ACCOUNTS.

NEVER,EVER GIVE OUT ANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE PHONE AND DO NOT PUT IT ON THE INTERNET EITHER!

BECAUSE IN MOST CASES IT IS A RIP OFF!
