How can we stop this company from faxing us. According to them they are out of Mexico. They advertise one deal and when you call they tell you the deal is all sold out amd try to offer you something else.

A big scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who can we report them too?

constantly send emails to my office.

I worked for the olive garden and saw a memo for this $361 deal a year ago.  I just tried to get in to contact through choose cancun.com but it was gone and the number says always busy.  Thought i could trust it because it was through work.  Don't do it.  listen to what others have said above.

I'm another one who who got scammed through this company. I paid for five people, $2,000. This is crazy! I booked back in June, and I too only had 2 crappy hotels to choose from. I called them last week to see if I can get some answers from this company, they told me I can upgrade for $300 extra per room to the Mayan Riviera, Sandos Caracol hotel.  I'm sceptical about going, but I did lose out on $2,000! I'm thinking if I research the hotel and confirm with the hotel before I book it, it may be ok? e-mail me @ chrissyneiu87@aol.com

Does ANYBODY out there still have the original HR fax they could e-mail me??

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.

"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

call them many many times- remember, it is free and  a toll free call.  

Make a fool of them as if you are a real customer.  If all of us do the same (who receive junk faxes), they will get  a huge bill from telephone company and they will be out of business.

they have sent me faxes several times.  I called to check them out and they say they are in Cancun.  I don't know if the U.S. junk fax law protects us from them but i intend to find out if they can be sued.

This is a total scam.  They send illegal faxes with a From: Human Resources Dept.  They say they're in Mexico, but I think it's a lye.  Probably Florida.  Never head a Mexican "ax" me a question.  Why does the FCC let these criminals rip people off?

As I did , My credit card bank account , stop pay for them , because I do not authorized to any ones take my credit card to pay for third party .

I am one of their victims , First , I call them to cancell vacation package,
they denied , and that I call cerdit card dept , to dispute the charge , also cancell credit card to prevent they use my credit card charge some thing else , who know ? .And I report to BBB.ORG for help

THE NUMBER WE RECIEVED WAS 1-800-723-1638

I JUST MADE A COMPLAINT WITH THE FCC AND I HAD NO INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY, FAX NUMBER OR ANYTHING

We too recieved a fax from this company.I got leary when I asked for a web adress and was not provided with one.The lines were staticky and I called three times and the same person kept answering.Smells like a scam to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recieved the same fax from my job at IBM. I thought it was an IBM employee discount and booked the trip. I paid for 2 people total of $798. I cannot believe I did this. After reading everyones messages I am realizing that I have been scamed. I bet its not even a REAL vacation. What do I do to get my refund? I am scared because I gave them my credit card info. What am I to do?

dispute the charge , and cancell credit card ,it proctect your credit card
they can not charge some thing else , who know ? .3 weeks ago , I have been
cheating the same case like you , report to BBB.ORG it may help the others

I received at work the same fax.
To: All corporate employees
From: Human Resources Dept.
Re: Employee Vacation Time
Reply to: 1-800-724-3139
Because we are big corporation, I thought that is some kind of benefit. After I talk with two different people (one has spanish accent, but the other was american) I was stupid enough to give them my debit cart number. Later, I start thinking that something is wrong and when I get from the fax receipt confirmation without any company's name on I was sure that was mistake. However the fax number (407-363-1782) where I have to fax back signed receipt is in Florida. Less than two hours since I give them my information, my bank said that there is nothing they can do because the money already were gone.

My daughter booked this vacation yesterday, she was misled about the flights.  We called back immediately, they kept hanging up on us.  I spoke to Mr. Johnson, who is the supervisor.  He told me we'd never get our money back and there's nothing the FTC or BBB can do about it.  He laughed and was very abusive.  PLEASE DO NOT BUY A TRIP THROUGH THIS COMPANY!!!!

Continuously receive unwanted fax advertisements from 800-723-5704

You can't report these folks to the FCC because they have no originating fax sending number on their faxes...or date and time sent. Believe me, I've tried. You have to have this info before you can file a complaint.

Company by the name "Choose Cancun" faxes memos addressed to:"All Corporate Employees" and solicits vacations.  Also goes by phone #1800 723-5704.

I just call , the person  his name ALEX ( EXT 302 ) they give name of their office
CHOOSE CANCUN , address : ABXPUAIL # 3 , ST 586 , QUINTANA ROO 77709 MEXICO
so , it is a real address , provide some more information about this scam
if you know and that can help the others avoid it

Any ones have their office address , please post up , because when file a complaint to BBB.ORG , They need specific address

Got a memo faxed that said
To: All corporate employees
From: Human Resources Dept.
Re: Employee Vacation Time
Reply to: 1-800-679-1203

It had the same info, as stated in the messages below - Cancun vacation for 6 days $361/pp. Free Oceanfront resort upgrade, Children Stay and eat for free, Corporate meal plan etc....

I thought it was from my HR. I called the number, and the way the guy talked made me very suspicious. I asked him what company he was working for - and he said it was "Choose Cancun" and that they are a facilitator that buy back unused corporate packages --- a big scam. When I started asking more specific questions - he hung up on me. Watch out for this. Hope this message will save someone from losing their hard earned money on such scams.

call customer service credit card department , dispute the charge , and cancell that credit card account  , to avoid they going to use that number account to charge some thing else , who know , and fill the complain to BBB.ORG , if you want to cancell the package , e-mail them ( if you have  their e-mail ) , so far as I know , this vacation package totaly a scam
and false advertisement

I called to book the pck over the phone I wanted it for a pck of 5 people it was suppose to be 1,996 dollars my dads card was only charged for a thousand the bank didnt let them take more so they called me back with an unknown number asking for the remaining amount its to late now what are you doing to get your money back

yeah everyone at our department in human recources got that no body knows where it comes from they called from an unknown number same person answered the first three times i called back they answer reservations really static line while on the line with no music while they put you on hold just seems like they place you on mute and pass the phone around really seems like a scam
