Mailed prompt with no company name, just a scam telephone number. Purporting to offer free travel, with airline and hotel names listed.

Elite Travel Concierge is a scam company promises you free travel and free vouchers. They are con artists. Trying to sell you a travel program. It's all a fraudulent scheme in order to swindle you out of your money.

Mail delivered by US mail offering free air travel and hotel . Signed by Patrick White I do not know if a scam but it is very vague. I didn’t call the 800 number

Using United States postal service permit 210 18640, they sent a free travel, hotel and dining offer. Using an anonymous Skype telephone number, I contacted the scammer and they wanted credit card information in order to reserve the tickets that I won. Knowing it was a scam going into it, I even gave them an old expired credit card number, when they tried to run it, they hung up immediately upon seeing that it was an expired card.

Received a letter by mail titled Travel Exhibit 2025 with award #613734 allegedly offering free travel and hotel stay for attending a meeting

dubious mailer offer free travel. With NO company but mentioning OTHER companies in the mailer. "signed" by Patrick White at end. too good to be true

Email announced my winning a free travel safety kit from a drawing of loyal AAA members...a shipping fee charged to my credit card.

I filled out a slip at the mall for a “free Bahamas vacation for 2” for 4 days and 3 nights. I was texted a picture of the card I filled out and a message saying that I was recently contacted regarding this and to call (954) 477-6733 with extension 804 to hear a recording of the details. No mention of the company on the card or in the message. No website or names of anyone. I did not call the number but googled it and the first thing that came up was this website and someone reporting the exact same thing. The mall was also wrong - this was a mall in I the same city, but not the mall where I filled out the card.

My mother is an elderly person and suffers from mild dementia. On 6/13/2024 she called a Spanish radio station which had an advertisement about a free travel givaway. She had to answer a very simple question to win the prize, but she was told to provide her credit card number and was charged $408.24. On 6/20/2024, she received a letter with information about the payment and travel destinations. I called them on 6/20/2024 in the attempt to get a total refund but was told that a manager would call me the next day. He didn't call. I called again today. 6/24/2024, and I was transferred to the manger. He completely refused to refund the money. I explained to him that my mom has memory issues, and did not realize she was paying the $408.24 that she was charged. He said thar my mom sounded fine over the phone. I believe this person has done this to so many vulnerable people, and he should be stopped. At least people should have the option to get a refund if they wish to do so.

The scammer had no return address or email address, just this phone number 1-855-540-9185. I did not call the number to learn more about what money they would ask of me to book my "free travel". They claimed my award # was: 2984694

I originally had a free travel benefit with NEA. I was contacted after my first trip to consider paying for a paid membership. It began with saying that after 6 months of a paid membership I would receive a travel resort credit for any resort around the world. However, after I paid my 6 months membership I went to view my resort credit and there were very few resorts to choose from. I told them I was misled because the agent told me I could go anywhere in the world and they told me that was incorrect. I canceled my membership. They continued to call and off more and more travel dollar amounts. I did return for a couple of months and saw it was just the same scam. I was able to access the free version again briefly. I was able to use the regular benefits for being a teacher. This benefit was always supposed to be accessible to me as it was for almost 2 years prior. Shortly after another agent contacted me about paying again for the elevated "benefits." I told him I am no longer interested in paying for their benefits. I have had countless calls (many recorded) with information varying from agent to agent about the program. I often spoke with my account manager who ensured me many times he would help with an issue I had at that time. The costs of travel would change drastically right before booking and I ended up paying way. more for my trip than originally stated. Always excuses why. He would me one part of information and the next time I talked to him it would be completely different. He always claimed there was no record of talking to me. I told him I had the conversations recorded and he would instantly try to take what he said back. After I denied the paid benefits this last time, my whole account was frozen. Even my free version. I have talked to Irvin 4 times since and each time he said he has told me that he has put in a request with his supervisors each time. Each time he tells me my account should be reactivated within 24-48 hours. Each time I call back he tells me the same nonsense. I first talked to him about this issue in June 6, 2023. It is now September 13, 2023. I stressed to my manager that I have the resort credit I paid $600 to receive and I would like to use it before it expires. I need my account to be reactivated before I can book this credit. However, they will not reissue my account. I also have "travel dollars" I have received as a result of my paid membership but I cannot access those either. I told them I would like a refund of my credit if they cannot provide me access to my account. They denied my request. If me credit expires, they said they will sell or auction my credit off. This is the biggest scam to get double the money for one resort credit. They are fully aware that I want to use it, but they will not let me. They are not sure how my account was locked in the first place. This is just lie after lie.

I was searching for Work From Home job online and I saw TravelwithSSS job offer to be a travel agent. I applied inputed my Full name, email address and contact number, and Shelly Steavens the owner texted me through my contact number about booking an interview. I did booked the interview and the next day did the meeting using Zoom, there was atleast 42 of us. The host person in the meeting wasn't Shelly but another lady. It took an hour for the meeting and at the end of the meeting, the host person told us to become Travel Agent from their business is to pay $69.95 monthly, 30 days training, once the training is done,host told us what we get like the Free Perks: 30 days maximum free cruise as travel agent, 10 days maximum free Disneyland Theme Park Ticket, free travel anywhere.Told us that if we think the job isn't for us there's 10 days money back guarantee. I didn't continue. Hearing that price monthly sounds like a fraud to me. I'm not sure if the people from the meeting did sign up or enroll, but I didn't. I hope that any Travel agent job offer or business will be accredited by BBB and not collect money to people who wants to get a job.

I'm a travel advisor and I recently attended the the Travel show at the Javits Center here in NYC. I was approached by Michael who was a representative based in New York City for Serenity Time, a vacation club he claimed had nothing to do with time shares. He explained if I liked saving money on travel and visiting 4 star properties at a fraction of the cost that I should join their upcoming zoom call to learn more. In exchange for attending this 90 minute presentation, Michael explained that I would be awarded a complimentary 5 day, 4 night vacation at one of their participating properties of my choice regardless if I decided to join the travel club or not less flight and food costs that I would be responsible for. But in order to secure my slot for the meeting I had to pay $40 deposit which he stated was completely refundable and would be issued back following the completion of the presentation. He also asked me to verify that I was 21 years or older, made at least 75k/yr, and had a working internet connection because I had to attend the presentation on desktop. He stated should I skip the presentation I would I forfeit the refund of the $40. I was a bit skeptical about paying the fee but agreed on the basis that it would be refunded and figured thats a small price to pay to secure my spot so I could cash in on the supposed "free vacation" he awarded me to Puerto Vallarta Mexico which was the location of his options I had chosen. He also said I would have one year from the time of receiving the promotion to book the vacation which was all paid for minus food and transportation to Mexico. The day of the zoom call I received a text from michael confirming my attendance as well as an email from his associate Barry Onody (who is apparently based in Seattle, Washington). I attended the zoom call where Barry outlined the company, its offerings, deals, etc. At the end of the meeting, Barry interviewed each of attendees individually to try and close the sale. First he stated the deal was $10,995 for lifetime access plus $149/yr "maintenance fee" that we could jump in and out with no back dues. He also had mentioned to the group a referral program in which we would be awarded free travel and compensation for signing friends up on the travel. When I spoke with him 1-1 and asked him questions, he explained the referral program doesn't pay in cash but simple in travel rewards. Additionally, he attempted to close the sale on "lifetime membership" to the club for $2,000 stating that normally the membership is higher b/c they throw in two "free" trips to Orlando and Cancun. But if I had no interest in taking either of those he would only charge me $2000 to join their club. Mind you, I would still have to pay for each stay on top of the 2k to join. I told him I'm not in a position to join today and wanted time to think about it. But I wanted to share the offer with my parents in case they were interested. But Barry stated my parents would have to sit in on a call in order to qualify. The days following the presentation I never received a follow-up with the promised "free 5 days/4 nights" trip to Puerto Vallarta. I also did not get my $40 refunded as promised. I followed up via email and text to Michael and Barry but did not hear back from either party. I have already proceeded to dispute the cc charge with my banking institution.

Have received multiple calls from various numbers from through out VA. Some numbers are labeled from Boykin, some are labeled from Herndon. Boykin number is 757-654-2455. Herndon number is 571-500-6502/8082/0995/5489/. A few people have left messages saying "we have been trying to reach you because of your past travel. You've been part of the 5% of the members selected to receive a buy one get one free travel stimulus allowing you and your family the opportunity to travel the thousands of destinations. If you would like more information on your VIP promotion please give us a call back. You don't want to miss out on this wonderful offer" There is no sales associate name and no call back number given. Due to targeted scams like this, I no longer answer numbers I do not recognize.

We inquired about a chow chow puppy on the website Friendlychows.com. They requested information from us as a dog owner, then sent a contract and requested payment be made on Zelle or if we picked up in person cash. They offered a free travel voucher with United Airlines.

Called me first, I figured it was a scam and said, “hello?” The phone hung up. I called back and the guy answered, somehow knowing my first name and quickly went through a script about having free travel points to go to resorts throughout the country. HOWEVER, I do not know them and only have traveled through ***. I asked where they were from and what the company is and he could not tell me, but said they are based out in Florida. I hung up. The area code is South Carolina, not Florida. This is a scam no doubt.

The online page offered miniature Pomeranian for $500, with a coupon of free travel. One I sent a message that I wanted to purchase one of the puppies, I was asked to provide a bit more information about myself and to confirm that I wanted the puppy. I was sent an e-mail with direction on how to pay for the puppy. I was being asked to send the $500 via western union to a Marvin Powell. After I responded that u was not comfortable sending money via western union, they never responded back. The same puppies cintura to be online.

Katana Blender shut down their website after charging me $14.97 shipping and handling for a free travel blender over two months ago and never sent me a blender. The ad/giveaway was on Instagram. The website was katanablender.com and they were selling travel blenders that could be powered with a USB port.

A lady by the name of Tanya Lopez offered free travel tickets to anywhere in the United States if I came to their presentation at Star Island in Kissimmee Florida. I was also offered a voucher for a $50 food if I show up 10 minutes early. She asked that I lie about being married and that I make sure to check the right box even though it may not be true information.

I got a "Personal and Confidential" notice also marked "IMPORTANT - DO NOT IGNORE - ACTION REQUIRED". It was addressed to me via a name that is wrong - a typo on records almost 20 years old lets me know that the mailing is not from anyone I have a current relationship with. There is an "855" number, but no other means of contact - not even a website even though the note is "signed" by Susan Bradford of "Online Vacations of America." My claim number is KNH 1101.... if you get a notice I expect your claim number will be that too. I'm invited to attend the Travel Expo 2018 sponsored by Online Vacations of America. "In exchange for your attendance you will receive (2) round trip airline tickets. These vouchers are valid for travel anywhere within the continental United States departing from most major international airports. In addition you will receive (2) nights at one of over 1000 Marriott's, Hilton's, Hyatt's. (Option to extend) The retail value is up to $1180." My wife and I already went to one of these about 8 months ago (she has a different address than I do). We spent 3 hours listening to professional con artists spin their webs with a crowd of 4 couples. All three of the other couples had already been scammed on time-share deals.... and these folks were totally taking their side in commiserating with them. It looked like 2 of those couples were going to spend about $4000 before they left; they made it clear that if you didn't write your check that night - for $4000 - $8000 - you would lose your opportunity to do this. A lot of "too good to be true" was going on. My wife and I left without signing anything, but excited to get our free travel vouchers. We were (grumpily) given some kind of certificate upon leaving. It wasn't a travel voucher. It was a coupon we had to send in with $40 to get a travel voucher..... I researched online if anyone else had done this, and I found a few folks who had sent in their $40 and not gotten anything back. This has all the hallmarks of the same outfit with a different name. Beware.

Received envelope with no return address saying a friend selected me for a $567.00 gift reward. I was to go to website within 72 hours and enter the number on the attached card. Since nothing is free, I suspect a scam.

Can you hear me scam. She called and said she was from a travel agency saying she was giving away free travel packages. Then she asked if I could hear her ok.

Says he's from the gifting department, asks if I can hear okay, offers a free travel cruise

These people call with a Local phone number and this is about 20x's this month.. it is automated tells you about a FREE Cruise or some type of travels, it says they will transfer you to a Representative but need some info 1st... They ask if over 21, continue to say a FREE FREE Travel, this time was Cruise to the Bahamas in the next 18months.. then ask if you have or own a Credit Card.. I said No and they hang up, I tried to call back but it says either not a working number or that the person has not set up a voicemail account... so the Holidays are coming up soon.. just saying... I gave them no personal information..

I read recently about a scam where people will call you regarding free travel or vacations and upon answering the phone, will almost immediately ask "Can you hear me?" I had this call this morning, and now I can't even remember what my response was to the question! Feeling stupid for letting the call go on as long as it did, but beware of calls.

I received a call on my cell phone asking if I could hear him. I said "yes" and then he proceeded to offer me free travel to Disney World. I hung up. After seeing all the reports of "yes" scams today, I'm worried that I opened myself up to unwanted charges on my cards etc.

I received this call an hour ago. It was a local number with a very American male voice that said he was with some marketing number and that I had been selected to win some free travel items. He asked me if "I could hear him" to which I automatically said yes. Then I remember the warnings on FB...GRRRR! I hung up immediately. I have not lost money yet but I am checking.

Caller began with "Hi, can you hear me ok?" I responded "Yes, I can", not realizing that it was a recorded message offering free travel. I am fearful my "yes, I can" response will be used for unauthorized charges.

A person (possibly a recording or computer generated response) stated that I stayed at one of their resorts recently and wanted wanted to offer a few stay at one of their other resorts with free travel and food. I asked 3 times about what resort I supposedly attended but each time they tried to get me to agree to be transferred to their travel agent to set up the travel. They never provided a name of any company or concrete reason they were contacting me so after the 3rd time of trying to refer my to their travel agent I ended the call.

Person named Josh called and said he was from the Service department and asked if I could hear him ok. (That part sounded like a live person but could have been a good recording.) I foolishly answered yes without thinking. He said good then went on to describe some free travel like Disney tickets, etc (the part after him saying "good" was a recording I believe) but I hung up after a matter of seconds. I was distracted when the call came in and didn't realize what it was until too late. Seeing that it was a WI number and hearing what sounded like a real person caused me to let my guard down.

I got a call today from 3124620901. When I said hello no one answered right away, so I repeated myself. The computerized voice said hello. I said "yah". There was a pause then the female computerized voice said "oh sorry, I was having trouble with my headset". She then went on to say that because I have traveled to one of their properties before, I was being given a cruise and some other free travel. I listened for approximately a minute and then hung up without saying anything further. The "caller" did not identify the company that was supposedly calling me. The call lasted for a total of 1 minute 7 seconds according to my Xfinity call log. I am reporting this so I have a record of the call in case I get scammed. The news said I should make a paper trail by reporting the call. At this point, I have not lost any money. I am being proactive in reporting this issue.

I believe it was one of the scams I just heard about on the news where they ask for you to say: "Can you hear me ok?" in order to get you to answer yes, so they can record you saying yes and then use that. I answered yes but then hung up when they went into the you can have free travel etc... only later learned about it

A group marketing You Should Be Here travel scheme. Saying to purchase enrollment fee to qualify for free travel. Possibly fraud or pyramid.

I've fallen victim to a scheme the same as the one I am reporting here, however, mine dealt with "locations and services" of Money Gram locations. The following UNSOLICITED information was received via email from Paula Zevallos at ([email protected]) and his email reads as follows: Become our Feedback Specialist.

They send you checks, which they ask you to cash at your bank, and in about 3 days' time, your bank finds out that those checks are fraudulent and your bank will then come after YOU for the money they gave you when you cashed the checks.

Caller indicated I won $4.5 million dollars 2016 Mercedes and free travel

A scam which promises a free vacation if you sit in a 90-min sales presentation. The presentation is for a travel club which promises deep discounts to members in return for 8995.00 memberships. They offer you discounted memberships (6995.00 and down all the way to 2500.00) for different variations of club membership and benefits. These offers are only good if you surrender your credit card and pay on the spot for the membership. There are dozens if not hundreds of these 'clubs' selling memberships around the country. They claim to have been in business for more than 30 years, but a quick Google search shows that they just opened FB pages and websites 4 months ago. They prevent you from finding out this information ahead of time by never telling you the same company name, and advertising as local familiar entities. The one we attended originally claimed to be a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Golden Nugget Casino (a very well know regional location). I have found several that are operating under a holdings company called WSW Holdings. They also branch themselves out into "ISO companies or Independent Sales Offices" to further confuse potential targets and divert legal action. The ISO listed on our paperwork is called Ultimate Excursions. The fine print on the documents relieves Coconut club of any liability for any promises made by Ultimate Excursions and relieves WSW holding from any liability for any of the services delivered by Coconut Club Vacations. In the end we paid 3995.00 to a company that was never mentioned in the advertising or the presentation and then were unable to call back the numbers from the service representatives or call the "24-hr concierge" number. So, we went back to the casino where they are STILL selling memberships and asked for a refund. They refused and claimed to be legitimate. We called security and the police, but no one will stop the scam presentations. What is more, my parents attended a later session of the same presentation and did not buy. They got the voucher for the free travel that was promised. The free vacation is NOT free and actually requires you to mail in a check just to "activate" the program. It also states that there will be additional fees and surcharges and restrictions applied to all flights and vacations.

I was contacted directly on my cell phone along with my aunt from a different number by people claiming to be calling on behalf of Direct Buy to come to a grand opening celebration. The caller indicated there was no pressure to buy anything and that my husband and I could accept a free travel voucher just for our participation or a number of other great 'free' gifts. When I responded saying I am not married nor interested in what the company has to offer, she proceeded to try and get more information from me. I hung up and was immediately called again but I let the call go to voicemail. I was called by 210.301.0001 indicating they were from 'Direct Buy of Central Texas'. My aunt was also called three times between 7/3 & 7/4 by 512.710.6577 with same sales tactics and continued to call even after being told to remove them from the list.
