Yep, i am in the process of trying to spam the spammers.
My plan is to forward all faxes received from them, back to them.

Hi, I got the HUMAN RESOURCES FAX too. When I called each time they were rude and hung up on me. I am also filing on them.

I have been receiving faxes from "Human Resources Dept."  addressed to "All Corporate Employees" offering a great deal on a vacation package at a wholesale rate.  Our comany doesn't have an HR Dept. so I was about to call the 800 number to stop receiving these promotions.  I decided to check out the number first.  I'm glad I did.  I think I will go ahead and file a complaint with the FCC since I am on the donotcall registry.

RE: Abuse and scam by CHOOSECANCUN.COM.   Employees Vacation time, Memo from Human resources.

Some of phone numbers as used by these con artists:
1-800-670-1753, 1-800-670-2156, 1-800-679-3516, 877-573-2051 and 877-260-5558, 1-800-679-3197

These scums are sending thousands of faxes (from USA and Mexico) even though your phone/faxes are registered with do not call registry. They know very well that ftc has introduced a fine of $11,000 per call but they are hidden in rat hole and shameless!

The type of SCAM they are operating:

These con artists know very well that they are ripping off money from innocent people and therefore you do not have to be gentle or polite with them.  Being kind to them will not work at all.  Asking respectfully to remove the name (though you have listed in do not call registry) will not work as they damn care for you.   Their goal is to scam and rip you off.  In million of faxes to USA and Canada, they do not provide any of their address, regular phone number and address.  They claim to have a website (one once you call them) which is CHOOSECANCUN.COM (and many other names of similar sites). Such sites are dummy websites to make fool of you. Even within godaddy.com (WHOIS), or other domain providers, information to their company is missing.

Here are some of key highlights:

1. They send faxes as if your corporate?s Human Resources is sending such faxes to employees for legitimate vacations.

3. Once you call them, they will right away ask your bank information, credit card (master card of VISA), S.S.# and Debit card numbers.

4. If you ask some details, they will hung up or they will fool you by letting you know that they have a legitimate website like CHOOSECANCUN.COM, lowfarecancum.net, lowfarecancun.com, sales cancum.com etc?.

6. One of their sale person disclosed some information by stating ? I am trained to convince a caller that we are doing legitimate business?  If  we succeed in a rip off, we am paid at least 50% of commission from the stolen money.  Rest of money goes to CEO and Mexican police (who are part of this scam) and the balance goes towards overhead expenses such as phone/fax costs.  We also operate from Florida but we are told to hide any address, and phone numbers.   We are told to convince as if we are doing a legitmate business from out of USA like Cancun, Mexico.  We understand that US laws has imposed a fine of $11,000 per telemarketing calls to those who are registered in DONOT CALL registry but we are untouchable in Mexico.  Owner of our company has fully trained and convinced us repeatedly by telling that only foreigners, lonely people, or dump and mentally restarted people (who become victim) are likely to become victim to our business as these people are easy pray in providing SS#, bank and credit card information without details or facts about legitimacy of our business.     Once such customers are duped, they do not know how to even file a complaint with their credit card company.  In order to succeed fully, we do not offer vacation packages until 45 days.  Therefore, by the time customers finds out more about our scam, he/she is too late to file complaint to Credit Card Company.

7. Filing a complaint to FTC may or may not work.   Sales people have been told to be rude and intimidating once you act smart of ask more details.  They will hang up the call or they will use bad language if you will ask their regular (non-toll free phone), their fax or address or they will give you fake address in Mexico.  Most of the time they will bore you by putting log music.   One of agent even stated? US government has no jurisdiction about DONOT CALL registry in Mexicao and furthermore US does not have enough funds to locate or prosecute us any more?

What can you do?

1.    If you have provided your credit card information to them, file a complaint with your credit company ASAP to dispute the charges. Tell them that you are victim of scam and never authorized charges to this company.  File complaint within days after you provided your credit card information.

2.    If you are bothered again and again about their faxes, call them at their toll free number and make enough fool of them.   Have a long discussion (have a fun too) by pretending as if you are a legitimate caller.  Act little dumb!!   Because will love to speak with dump persons - they believe that such people are more susceptible to such scams.    Thereafter, you may blast at them and yell at them?  If you call them from your office or corporate office, do not feel scared at all!!!  They will know you (from their caller ID), and they will try to repel you by threatening words like, ?we have called the security of your office and you will be arrested by them soon??   If you call repeatedly from home, they will scare you by saying, ?we know who you are and we know your name, we will send thousands of faxes to you?? .   However, they are scared and handicapped to call you or bother you!

3.    By calling you, they know that they will be caught sooner as their phone and information will be displayed in your caller ID.  In a worst case, even if they will call you, it will be an unknown caller- to do so, they have to pay money equivalent to 60 cents to hide their phone.   Call them numerous times for fun and make their telephone bill too expensive to pay and make them bankrupt soon.  If possible, call them from public booths, because toll free cost will add 60 cents more per public phone call.   Call them at night when they have an answering machine. Sometimes, your night call will not be hung up (due to answering machine) and eventually, they will be billed enormously for toll free charges..  Remember, all your calls to them are compleely free as these are toll free calls.

Calls in on my office line..but its a fax they are trying to send.

My office gets one of these daily. Has anybody had any luck calling to get taken off the fax list?

Does anyone have an Idea where these people are faxing me from?
My fax is unlisted and on the do not call list.

Does anyone have an Idea where these people are faxing me from?
If I find out, I will use some of my skymiles just to fly there and choke the life out of one of them. I consider that a vacation. My fax is unlisted and on the do not call list.

Offer for trip from the HR dept to Cancun Mexico Reply to 1-800-679-3516. They just answer reservations and when I said I had the wrong number he gave me a hard time. Oh really what number where you trying to dial. I just hung up.......

These guys are shady dealers and scammers and if you get a call from them file a 1088 Complaint with the FCC at https://esupport.fcc.gov/form1088/consumer.do and if you are on the National Do Not Call List, file a Complaint at https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx.

If the government gets enough complaints from you, we can put these guys out of business.

"Remove" phone number used by travel agency junk faxer.

Called this number because it sounded like a great deal. Had me take down his name 'Matt Stevens' and told me it's a 'first come first serve' kind of thing and I HAD to pay for it today at $361/pp or if I waited until tomorrow it would go up to $1,800/pp. BUT - he also said that they were SOLD OUT - that morning. It didn't add up.

SCAM!! DO NOT CALL!!

Junk fax claiming to be from "Human Resources Dept." advertising Cancun vacation scam. Yah, uh-huh: on my home fax, which is on the Do-Not-Call List.

Reply To: is listed as 1-800-679-3516; remove requests are directed to call 1-800-573-7601. DON'T BOTHER calling either one; just file the FCC form.

I too received  a fax-called the number to ask questions.  Was hung up on TWICE-1st time the woman wouldn't answer my questions about who the company was or where they were located-she said she'd take my fax number off if I wanted-when I told her i did, she hung up on me.  The second guy claimed not to be able to hear me, although he could hear well enough when I asked about the vacation.

VERY RUDE.

fax

6 Days in Cabo San Lucas OR CAncun ALL_INclusive for $314 call 1-800-417-3710
We have been getting these faxes for years, it seams, although we are not really sure.  The number of faxes multiplied by the number of fax machines;  what a waste of time, money, supplies and resources.  I just called 1-800-573-7601 twice to have our fax number (98,51 & 86)removed.  If it happens again I will fill out FCC Form 1088A and the FCC will track them down and fine them.

I'm in HR dept. and just received this fax about 5 min ago, and we have been so often received these vacation package deal but always tossed in the garbage.  Well, today is my slow day so just be curious and google this number (800-417-3710) and holly sh*t... !!! it a scam..!!?? I've never trusted any vacation package deal coming from the fax but didn't expect that this has been going on for years.  I'm glad I google it.  I didn't even bother to call (800-573-7601) to the our number remove from their system after I read the response from others.

But just curious, have anyone gone on one of this trip??  would love to hear the story.

I received a fax claiming to be from my company's HR department about the "company vacation" to Cancun. We have no such thing and the fax requires that we call 800-573-7601 to stop receiving requested promotions (which I never requested).
