This is a marketing scam. They all say you won a free trip for $299.00 I asked if it were free, why am I paying $299.00 The guy went on to say that it is actually 2nd prize, so all i would have to do is give him my credit card info blah blah blah. I said before I do that, give me a website to look at and / or mail me the materials. He said he could, but first i would have to give him my credit card info or my debit card info before he would release that information, you know to make sure i was 'serious' about taking the 'free' trip. I told him it's not free if i have to pay anything for it, plus after checking out the websites for prior scams i was already was aware that this whole schpiel was b.s. PEOPLE DO NOT GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO OUT NO MATTER WHAT!

I got the same call as everyone else.  I told they guy on the phone that I didn't have a credit card and I would be more then willing to go into a travel agency and make the payment when I could see the documents/vouchers.  He said that he couldn't wait and that we should 3-way call someone else who would be willing to make the payment for me.  He was very pushy.

This d-bag was at the Atlantic city beerfest last weekend.  He bought a booth and was claiming that it was a door prize.  Just give your name and # and address.  Turns out I "won", my friends "won"  and their friends friends "won".

SCAM ARTIST!  Ugly D-BAG too!

I got a call from them this morning, but I didnt answer the phone and they didnt leave a message. I was at a bridal show last weekend where I filled out a ballet to win a trip for two somewhere as well. I figured if I had ACTUALLY won something they would probably leave me a message, right?

you are all wrong your just paying the extras taxes and baggage fees i got a 2500 trip for 299 great deal what a munch of losers you are!

I also got a call from these people on both our home and cell. Just like a person above I am from winnipeg and they were at the convention centre but this time for a comic book convention. Someone said it was 50 trips to vegas draw and it was sponsered by comic con its self, thought it look suspicious but the hubby and I signed up anyway. This teaches me always listen to my gut

The same thing happened to me yesterday. I got total 10 calls yesterday and did not answer any of them since I did not know the number. 2 were phone numbers:
718-228-0786
718-713-3412
also tried to call me from a private number a few times. They tried to call me every 30 minutes until 10 pm at night! SO annoying. I searched the numbers online today and found this page. I am so glad I did not answer the phone calls! I gave out my info at a Tea and coffee festival in NYC over the weekend, they must have gotten my info from there. Learne my lesson - never give away your cell anywhere!

IT IS A SCAM!!! I live in Winnipeg Manitoba and they came to our convention center for a taboo show!  they are a scam do not get caught by them!!! They have called a total of 4 of my friends that have gone to that same convention that I know.  If it is so random why have 4 of my friends been called so far, including myself even though I fell for the scam.  HORRIBLE COMPANY DO NOT BE HAD BY THEM!!!

Same thing happened to me this evening. Florida and Bahamas cruise, only $299/person. Sounded too good to be true and when I asked how long I have to decide he said I had to right then! So I said, so basically I have to make my mind up now or lose the trip? He said the offer was only valid while on the phone with me. That was when I decided it must be a scam because any legit company wouldn't make you choose right away! He really wanted my credit card number too, kept asking for it in different ways. I told him to p****off!

I listened to the whole spiel crap
at the end when it got to the credit card crap
I said... go to hell then fell silent just listening
until they hung up.what a scam.if you have to pay
then its a scam. I like to just waste their time
then tell them to go to hell. they get mad.LOL.

Got a call from a woman who claimed we filled out a entry form at the kentucky state fair, and suprise we had won not one trip but 2, WOW, arent you happy, she went on to describe the amenities and boy was she excited, she threw in that we would have to pay 99.00 a piece but only for my husband and myself, the other 2 people who went on the first trip would be free, and she proceded to tell us about the second trip, when she was finished she gave us to the customer service rep, and he was just as excited he told us that he would upgrade our trip, he went on to tell us about the wonderful amenities and the tickets to disneyworld that were thrown in , and then he threw in that we would be paying 199.00 for the 2 of us, but "Oh the other two, absolutely free." All he needed was a credit card number, well we knew right away that was fishy and stalled him, he said the deal only would last 15 more minutes, and we said, "no thanks"

A person called me and told me i had won a trip for the bahamas/florida cruise. He said he got it from the Taste of Minnesota,-which i had recently entered in-and asked me if i was banking with a major bank or credit card  company. I told him i was then he told me it was 299/person for the trip. and told me everything everyone else had just said, so i researched him to see if he was real. which apparently it's not because i called the number back and the phone line was disconnected. SCAM! but it was exciting while it lasted.

Same story as everyone else's...funny thing though. When I answered the first time they asked for a Heath ...I told them they had the wrong number and he apologized. He immediately called back and asked for me this time and apologized he had gotten my name mixed up with the other number. Interesting how both myself and the other person won this wonderful vacation!! Also, he got pushy when I wouldn't give my credit card number over the phone. Always too good to be true!

i just recieved like 5 calls from the same number and 2 withheld calls.. i think its a scam for sure. i also filled out a ballot at an auto show in canada to win a trip.. man this dude is everywhere

same story happened to me this morning! The only difference is that I am the winner from Vancouver Auto Shaw....I did remember I wrote sth to win sth...but I remember the biggest prize I possibly can win is $10,000 instead of a 8-day trip to Bahamas. :P

Just got a call from this number and it was the same story as everyone else on this page.  He said that he got my number from the Canada Blooms show that I was at last weekend.  He also wanted my credit card info to pay for the $299 deposit for the trip.  Everything seemed so sketchy about it, and he was so pushy.  Said that the cruise that I won was on Bahamas Celebration ship, seems like everything is just off about it.

They've been calling my cell from a series of different numbers.
I made the mistake of putting my cell number on one of those "win a vacation" drawing cards at the Atlantic City, NJ Beer Fest.

8-day Vacation to Florida and Naussau Bahamas with a "Discovery" cruise.
Plus (special just for me) tix to Universal/Disney/etc. a visit with "vacation ownership". All for $249/person with credit card reservation now.

I asked them to send the specifics via mail to the address on file. She said she could not, this was the only call and must have the reservation via Credit Card now or it's not valid.

When pressed for something where i could verify them, they said they have a website RTAvacations.com with phone numbers:
1-800-231-1298 - nothing on google
1-800-238-2549 - collection agent, award center scam,

When pressed for a "confirmation" or "reservation" number i could use if i called back she told me that i wouldnt have one. I asked, "So how will they know which package is 'special just for me'? "  She told me she'd need to speak with a supervisor, and then said all the packages were the same and not to call any of the original numbers i gave her but this one instead: 1-800-206-5703 (actually is RTA vacations)

Note: rtavacations.com is a real website... but has no packages for Bahamas. and the prices are far different. Also myrtavacations.com/package-details.html  has similar details.. but enough differences (meals not covered, prices, etc.) that it might not be legit.

They won't give up will they? I filled out a form at a beer fest and the guy has called all day. I answered once and told him I didn't have the time and they keep calling. They obviously aren't professional if they are calling at 9PM on a week night about winning.

Got the SAME call today from a guy who said I won a Bahamas/Florida cruise. Sounded good at first, considering I did in fact fill out a form during a convention this past weekend. But I looked at the "website" he gave me, www.bahamasfloridacruisevacations.com, which doesn't even remotely look professioanl at all. I also found this post, thanks to everyone who said it was a scam. He's called me back 4 times and its getting extremely annoying. This needs to be stopped.

Also, I'm curious how he DID get my information? Was the booth I filled the ballot at a scam from the beginning? I might try contacting the convention I went to to see who it was.

Same thing happened to me today.  I attended a bridal show this past weekend with my sisters and family.  We all filled out entry forms to win the trip to the bahamas.  I got the call, and was estatic.  However, the woman who called me said you checked off on the entry form that you have a major credit card, Visa.  I NEVER wrote down that I had a Visa card so that made me concerned about this.  She wanted my credit card information and I told her to call back later.  I work at a bank and see this happen all the time.  I knew better than to give my information like that.  I googled the phone number that called me and thank goodness I found this website with all of your posts on it.  I knew it was definitely a scam then.  I warned everyone who filled out an entry form about the scam, and my sister got a call later on from a guy with the same story.  She yelled at him, and said it was a scam, all he said was no it's not and then hung up.  DON'T GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION!!!

Caller doesn't ever leave a message but calling at all hours and relentlessly.  I attended a bridal show in Milwaukee on Sunday, I wonder if they bought my info from them.

got the same cruise offer, told the guy to go fly a kite, ever since i've been getting spam text messages on my cell phone.  gotta be something that can be done to shut this guy down

I received a call from this number indicating that I had filled out a ballot at the Fishing and Boating show.  This was correct but I don't remember filling one out for a trip, just a cash prize as far as I recall.  Either way the guy went on clearly from a script about a trip that I had won.  The same as the previous posts, Florida and cruise to the Bahamas... $299 to "secure" my trip.  I was asked for credit card information and just told the guy I have no credit card.  I told him that I would go into a local travel agency to make the deposit and get my documents.  He said that he needed to secure the trip now and was very pushy.  I repeatedly affirmed that I indeed did not have a credit card.  He even had the nerve to suggest that I 3 way call someone to get their credit card number.  Either way he is apparently going to call back.  I would advise anyone to not give any information.  I didn't get a name and got an equally generic company name as the one above but I believe it was instead something else with Travel Services in the terminology.  

And try to call the number back because it is constantly busy.

Ignored first call from number, Called again from a restricted number, offered the vacation, i hung up when i heard that id have to pay 299.

said he got my info from the Vancouver Boat Show...

Yea i got a phone call at work saying that i won this trip to the bahamas and that everything is also ligit. They asked if i was excited and pumped to go on this trip. When i asked where they got my info from they said the Wonderful Wedding Show in Winnipeg. All i needed to pay was $299 dollars for the service fee and i would get $2500 to go on a trip. All i needed to pay for was my air fare. No deal. You can go on an all around trip for 2500 without even winning anything, airfare included. Looked up this number on the internet and found all these messages. What a joke. I hate how they try and scam people. Like dont bug me at work!!

Just got the exact same call from phone #1-718-228-1762. Exact same story about winning a trip to the Bahamas, originating from Florida. We as for the rep's name and rep number, he quickly answered his name to be RAZ but had no answer for us when asked for his rep#. Took him a good 35-40 seconds and he came up with rep #3215. He also asked for credit card info for $299/person. We asked to speak to a manager and he gave the phone to the "Promotions Manager". she sounded really MAD when we declined after her 5 minute speech that sounded way too scripted.
Everyone beware!!!

I just got the same call. On my lunch hour at work. I filled out a ballot at the Wonderful Wedding Show in Winnipeg. I got tired of listening to the guy so checked the number while he was rembeling and then hung up once I realized that he would be asking for my credit card number. Isn't is funny how we all won the same trip???

I mean scam them.

They called back within an hour while I was at lunch.  They went on with their whole script which I didn't hear half of anyway "Have you ever been there? No? Oh, you'll love it!".  They asked me for the expiration date on my credit card and I told them I wasn't going to give them my credit card number.  They asked why not and I said I wasn't comfortable with it.  "You don't want the trip?"  Yes, I do, but I don't want to give you my credit card number over the phone.  "We're legit (that's what they said, legit, not legitimate like any professional company would), we're not trying to just take your money and run away with it".  Then they asked me to give them someone else's name and number who might be interested instead if I didn't want it.  Um, no I will not give you any of my friend's names and numbers so you can try and scam me, too.

Sigh... I wish I had won.  I could use a trip...

Just had a phone call from the same number, they called the other day but I didn't get to the phone in time, didn't leave a message.  Person was reading from a script, told me all about Bahama vacation, car rental, etc...like others commented above.  Kept asking for my credit card number to process the $299 charge in order to get the voucher "worth $2500".  Told him he wasn't going to get my credit card number, asked that he just mail the documents to me, he said he couldn't do that since the vouchers were worth $2500.

My fiance told me she filled out a form with my name and cell number at the Winnipeg Wedding Show, the caller said he got my info from the wedding show.  Very concerning.
