I got a fax with this as a contact number.  It was for wholesale vacations to Cancun.  No company name listed on it.

This is a case of mis-representation. They send you a FAX purporting to be from your employers 'Human Relations' Dept. re: "Employee Vacation Time" and offering trips to Cancun etc; Phony!

Received an unsolicited fax from this company with false information presenting it as if it were from our human resources department.  I think that is breaking more than one law.  Somebody please go after them.

Got the same Fax to a secured Fax number. Called number. They hung up when I tried to get indentification. Obvious scam here...

is this a scam or is it real? who knows. can someone let me know pls.

You may not want to see this but it will give you a good idea about the companies values in life

This company also owns a domain named www.bestgore.com and has some real snuff films that will make you want to stay in your houde the rest of your life

Bad bad people

Please e-mail me a copy at ladyluck_76@hotmail.com...Thx in advance!!

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, 1-888-859-5258

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 (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 dumb and mentally restarted people 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 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 a 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 a long 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 any of us in USA and Mexico?

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 a 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 dumb or retarted 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 from 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 completely free as these are toll free calls.

4.    Better you call from public phone- one such call will be equivalent to about 35 calls from your office/home.  It will cost them about $.70 if you call form public phone.   More of such calls will be a bitter lesson for then and sooner they will become bankrupt from their fraud practices.

"Choose Cancun" Travel latest company to use illegal junk faxes

If you were awakened in the last few days by another annoying illegal junk fax you are not alone. Millions of Americans and Canadians suffer from this problem every night.

One of the latest scam artists to use the illegal junk fax as a marketing tool is a company promoting cheap vacations. The company, "Choose Cancun" (or at least that's what their reservation agents call it when you return their call) sends out a fax that says "Memo, to All Corporate Employees" from "Human Resources Dept." (There is a "ChooseCancun.com" company but they say they are not responsible for these illegal junk faxes).

I have not been able to source this company to provide you with details how to report them. The telephone agent I reached refused to provide this information. Would you book a trip with a scam artist company like this one? I guess some of you would or they wouldn't be using this method to illegally obtain business.

When I am able to get more details on this company I will post them so you can badger this entity with your own nasty emails, calls and faxes to complain about their illegal activity.

Watching out for you everyday.

Eli

I suggest a few of us register a complaint with the FCC!  Click here: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/unwantedfaxes.html

Definitely a scam...

I have continued to receive these faxes even after I called all of them.  I also call godaddy and they tell me this company is register as hosted by Register.com.  I went to register.com and found this information.  I beleive we need to keep fighting this with anyone associated with this company.

I spoke to a Miss Garcia after receiving a fax, calling and asking for a manager.  She was at least polite enough to discuss the matter with me. She stated that they are a travel marketing call center named "Just Cancun" located in Cancun, Mexico.  They subscribe to a phone carrier service in the Carribean that is part of the North America phone network, and that is how they get an 800 number.  Because they are in Mexico, she claims the Do-not-call registry does not apply to their company.  I also mentioned the FCC complaint process and again, that the FCC has no jurisdiction, and since they comply with Mexican laws including paying their "business fees" they are not bothered.   Not much we can do on this one, unfortunately.

They awake me once I was sleeping at home.  They will not stop if you give your fax number- they are scam artists and will send you more and more.  Best solution is that call them dozens of time as it will cost them the money due to their toll free number.  If every one do the same, one day they will stop.

WE RECIEVED A FAX FROM 1-800-679-1235. THIS IS THE WAY IT WAS SET UP IN THE MEMO AREA:
TO:     ALL CORPORATE EMPLOYEES
FROM:   HUMAN RESOURCES DEPT.
RE:     EMPLOYEE VACATION TIME
REPLY TO: 1-800-679-1235.

IT WAS A TEMPTING CANCUN, MEXICO OR MAYAN RIVIERA TRIP, WITH LOTS OF EXTRAS, FOR 6 DAYS @$361.00. WE ARE A SMALL GOVERNMENT AFFILIATED PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT THAT SERVES MOSTLY VERY LOW INCOME RESIDENTS. HOW SAD THAT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO SCAM A VACATION ESPECIALLY SINCE MOST OF THE PEOPLE HERE REALLY TRY TO FIND GOOD RATES IN ORDER TO EVEN HAVE A VACATION.

Call these crooks at 1-800-679-1235 and say confusing things to waste their time.  They are easily frustrated and it is funny to see how long you can keep them on the line.  SCAM SCAM SCAM / CROOKS CROOKS CROOKS  They send out junk FAX misrepresenting themsevles as representing Corporate Human Resources Department.  Call and have a chat with these BUNKO

800-679-1235...junk fax...vacation...get one about once a month...numbers change (both call back and 'removal'.  Removal doesn't stop them.

My fax machine will try to fax 5 times then I must hit redial for 5 more times...only takes a moment and I still get my incoming...I hear the frustration in the voices answering to a fax beep...then in a couple of minutes I hear it again...if LOTS of people would do this for days on end, I think they would get the message.

This company or agency sent an unsolicited fax in a "tricky" way, by indicating that the fax was from a Human Resources Dept., leading the receiver to believe it's an important, work-related document - when it's not! Filed a complaint with the FCC. I suggest that other victims of this trickery do the same. Here's the link to the FCC complaint page: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm. I share everyone's disgust at how sleazy and cheap sellers refuse to pay for their own advertising!!!

I had a few discussions with these people today.  One lady (and I use that sparingly) was Very Rude, in fact so rude their controller pulled her off the phone and replaced her with a much quieter gentleman.  This got me no where other then another number to call on Saturday only: Brian McDonald @ 800-679-3197, ext. 292.  I am sure this is a scam phone number also. The say they have an office in Mexico but because they are in Mexico they cannot have fax machines.  I would like to fax them all their junk faxes. Reporting to FCC and others just might help but there must be a way to end these.

Have a Great Day!

these people are harrassing me with faxes, burning up my paper and ink.

I received this same e-mail.  Was a slow day so I called about 10-11 times, had them give me the detials on the package, asked them if my company knew about htis and they said yes they work with my company to get these vacations.  I told them, that's funny, I own the company and no one cleared this with me.  

they hung up.  Was even more fun around the 9-10 time when I started getting repeat telemarketers.  You cold tell they were suspicious, but had to play along just in case.

Here is what I found out.  Send a complaint to abuse@godaddy.com they are pretty quick to look into stuff from what I am told.  Will see.
