Taking a small survey does not exonerate them, its still a telemarketing ploy and breaking the rules. Winning a free cruise is a come on of course also.. deceitful...

BEWARE!!!!! The callers are the "free cruise" scammers. One way or another they will try to get your credit card number!
Those fooled by the "free cruise" scammers will be left waiting at the dock, for a ship that never comes, while the scammers sail away with their credit card information!

Took a survey and after we were done the machine on the other end said press 1 to have  a travel agent call you to schedule your cruise to the Bahamas. When the travel agency called , it was a girl who said her name was Brianna . We don't remember the name of the exact travel agency but we do know the call came from Hollywood , Florida. WE asked "Brianna" if we could call later and she told us typically they only allow just one call per household about the trip but she would call us later but wouldn't be able to guarantee a cabin space for us. We aren't sure if this is a scam or not . But we think it is.

Hi,
I received a call following a survey offering an all inclusive cruise with bahama celebration.
I did it! I am not US citizen and I was not aware about this kind of scammer. This kind of stuff is totally illegal in my country.
A while after the travel company contacted me.
I won a cruise in the Bahamas... Great!
They just asked $59 for harbor fees .....then $1800 because is was a 10 days trip and only the cruise (3days) was for free. So I decline the offer! It was not easy the operator several times. Suddenly the communication has been cut of!
......and I realize that my cellphone prepaid card has been depleted.

I hope that my experience will help you for dodging this scammers' practice.

Keep receiving their calls on my cell phone and landline like once or twice a month for almost one year. Fake survey that makes me win a free cruise if I answer. Pushed 1 at the end to get a call from one of their agents, a girl called back and I told her to stop calling.

SECOND CALL:
Less than one minute after receiving the call, below, I received this from (954) 228-1997.  I answered but did not say anything.  There was no response from them, either, and they simply disconnected.  Dammit,, I probably missed getting the "free" cruise and won't see the Bahamas this winter.  Oh well, the next person who gets my old mobile number will be the beneficiary,,, lol.
===============
FIRST CALL:
(404) 291-3849:  Received on 12/12/2013 at 6:32 pm PST on my cellphone (714-area).  I have received NUMEROUS calls from this number in the past with no message ever having been left.  Since I already had scheduled my Verizon cellphone to be completely shut off tomorrow, I answered this time.  A completely automated 5-minute survey which begins "CONGRATULATIONS, YOU WILL WIN AN ALL EXPENSE PAID CRUISE TO THE BAHAMAS IF YOU WILL AGREE TO TAKE OUR SURVEY ..."  I pressed "one" to confirm my willingness to have a "travel agent call me back within 24-hours"  so I could claim my "free cruise."

P.S.  The DNC list is worthless for these scammers.

These SOB's just will not stop!   I even use callblocker on my cell and it works wonderfully, thankyou...   But for kriketty Sakes...  enuff's enuff!  

Someone please hunt the dog that runs these scams down and fill the skull with lead and do us all a favor.  

The Naional DNC register perhaps works for those that abide by rules but for these lawless scumballs...I have NO SYMPATHY and wish only to have a large caliber big bore handgun inhand on the day we meet the SOB(S)..  

yeah just called saying I won a trip to the Bahamas for the second time this month. the same group has called my house from a few other numbers but this one in particular can be called back and you can actually speak to the lovely people.

received a call following a survey offering an all inclusive cruise with bahama celebration.  when i confronted him about the scam possibility he hung up on me. don't trust this number.

Says that I owe them money for a car dealership, when i am no where close to owing a car in Hollywood, FL. So hungup and blocked the number. Easy as that. Fraud is fraud,

fake survey in order to win a flight ticket in Bahamas.

They call to say to owe $15.000 in a purchased car from a car dealer, the guy has a Cuban accent He ask me for my info and said excuse me, I don't have nothing involve with these fraud If I report to the authorities for this tattle tale phony trick and I hang up, Enough of today don't make the problem bigger because Fraudsters are trouble makers.
