Capital Vacations - Paradise Vacations connivingly attempted to obtain my bank account number by using a false number they had on file ripoff Largo Florida

Two days in a row I recieved a phone call on my personal phone from this compnay. On October 18th, 2004, they called saying that they were Paradise Vacations and told me that I had qualified or won a free vacation package and that they wanted to send me all of the information in the mail. At first it seemed genuine, but I was wary. I continued to talk to the gentelman probing him to see if everything was legit.

After a couple of minutes, I realized something was wrong. He asked me if I would confirm my checking account number. I told him that I did not have a checking account, only savings. He gave me a number, which I think may have been a routing number and asked me to verify it. I said that was not the number. Then he asked if I could give him the account number. At once I told him that I would not and that I was finished with the conversation.

The gentleman continued to try and tell me about the vacation package as I was hanging up.

The next day, October 19th I received another call. I always check my caller ID to see if I know who is calling. The number looked familiar so I picked up. A gentleman, possibly the same one as the day before, said he was calling from Capital Vacations and had a free vacation package for me and wanted to verify my checking account number. I told him that I told their guy the day before not to call me and then I hung up.

My only regret is that I did not probe them for more information on their company. I highly recommend anyone who is contacted by these people to do so, just don't answer any of their questions.
