We booked a trip thru a travel agent. She uses a company called "Captivating Travels" that she books her trips thru. They attempted to charge us 3 more times after we paid our trip in full. They asked us to report it to our credit card company, and we refused. Why would we do that when they should just credit our cc account since they charged it. Why they still had our cc number, we aren't sure. We fought to get our money back and spoke to the company. They said a check would arrive to us in 2-9 days. 9 days came and no check. They lied. We then were on the phone with them again to demand our money. They kept saying they didn't have a manager to talk to and didn't know anyone who sent a check to us. Long story short, our travel agent ended up wiring the money to us after we threatened to go to the BBB, police and Channel 5 investigates (in Chicago)...........which says to us that the travel agent might be in on it too. If you want her information, feel free to contact me.

Lastly, we find out that this happened again to a friend that I recommended the travel agent to but this time $******. They told them the same thing, "report it to your credit card company". This is VERY FISHY and should be looked into.

I was chatting with an agent on the online United Airlines chat function. I explained that for some reason I hadn't gotten a booking confirmation from Aegean Airlines and that if they can get me in contact or somehow fix the issue. The United Airlines agent provided me with the phone number that I listed above (the scammer phone number). I told them that I would call that number. However, that number called me first. They said they were Anderson Miller of Aegean Airlines. They said my ticket is currently in "pending" status and in order to confirm my flight I would need to initiate another payment of the same amount that I paid United Airlines initially ($********. They would provide me with a refund later, but if I wanted the booking confirmation, they would need me to pay again the entire amount that I already paid. It seemed weird also because they mentioned they have been trying to contact me before and I have not received any calls whatsoever from them. So I gave them my credit card information, home address, name and initiated the payment and they sent me a confirmation email with the Aegean Airlines booking which I believe is fake. I contacted United again and spoke with another agent from United. They said that there was nothing changed from my flight itinerary and that the last charge on my card was the original charge of the $*******. So, that is how I found out that the number the original United agent gave me was a scam so I also think that the United agent was in on the scam too.

Received post card. Had claim number - H0214CT1

No e-mail or web site. Googled the address and it came up to a UPS store in Washington DC.

First 50 callers would get a $100 gift card to a restaurant. Was offering a cruise on Carnival, NCL or Royal Caribbean if I joined the focus group.

I didn't call.

We're assuming it's a scam. A tear apart envelope came addressed to my husband with an offer for vouchered airline travel and free hotel stays or a 7 day cruise for free, just call this number kind of thing. Since we didn't call the number we haven't lost anything but seems fishy. This fish is not on,

Offered free cruise travel and airfare in exchange for a "Utah Tour & Travel Focus Group".

Utilized well known cruise branding as an attempt to legitimize the offer and place false trust in the receiving party. Gave no business name, no email, no direct contact with exception of a toll free number (listed), and a QR code which I did not attempt to scan for security purposes.

Offered incentives to scan the QR code with a value of "$100".

Twice they have called. The caller voice is the same, young male, maybe black. Claim I had a trip that I had not used and now was offered an extended time to book the trip and could also book 3 more trips as an upgrade. I needed to pay to redeem the trip and extend the dates to travel. I would be able to cruise and/or stay in luxury condo anywhere I wished. Also can use any cruise line and stay in any major hotel chain with no blackout dates.

Requesting "Your time and opinion" which results in attempts to have the target provide personal information during the interview. Things such as income, source of income, employer information, travel habits, credit card account information, voting information (political party affiliation), information on family travel habits, etc. In exchange for the information, scammer is offering compensation in the form of a "3, 5 or 7 night cruise for two on any major cruise line of your choice with included air fare round-trip."
