I also received a call this evening about the “free” vacation that was going to cost me $500.00 dollars! Call was same as above. First spoke to “Sean” who wanted my husband on the line with me, then he transfered me to their “confirmation” department and “Mya” took over witht the speal about VISA authorizing etc etc. However when I tried to politely explain that I couldn’t spare the $500.00 at this time due to my daughter’s upcoming wedding she continued to talk over me and refused to let me get a word in edgewise. Finally I hung up on them.

Scammers and fraudsters are the worst kind of criminal and should get the maximum penalty that a bank robber would receiver under the law. Perhaps they might try harder to get a real job then?

Yes, being way too perky is a dead giveaway! I don’t even get a real person – just an incredibly, on-the-verge-of-laughing female recording saying “You won a fabulous vacation! Please press 9 to learn more!” As if.

I just got one of these phone calls.
They told me they have a direct link to my Visa company, and already had my number there in front of them, but needed me to verify it by reading the number off my Visa to them. Universal Studios they said they were, with one in Daytona Beach and then the Bahamas. All at a discounted price. When I told them I wanted to talk to my husband they said they’d conference call him. I said no, she continued to repeat herself about how its all insured by Visa and said that my (already maxxed out) Visa was showing there that it was going to approve the amount of 500. I hung up on her perky self- I dont do perkyness that well anyways. Lol
