I received a fax at work stating it was from our HR department. It was a vacation package to any of 4 different destinations in Mexico including an all inclusive trip to a 4/5 star resort for 6 day's 5 nights. The pricing was too good to be true, and I'm a sucker for that. It wasn't until a week later when I was trying to find some information on the package I bought that I googled the phone number and found out it was a scam.

- My company memo handed out on sept 23 2011 had a great vacation package promotion. Hotel stay for 6 days and 5 nights for $175 per person to cancun, Mayan riviera, puerto Vallarta or cabo San Lucas, or Hawaii, and and the first 100 callers receive 5 days and 4 nights bonus to Jamaica. I called 1-888-680-5749 and talked to a guy named Kirby Washington, booked for 4 people. He assured me that the package is good for 18 months and although it is non- refundable, it is transferable. He also told me that I happened to be the person who got the last spot, the 100th caller. I would have to call 45 days before my departure day in order to book my hotel. I gave my name, address, cell home and work phone number, my credit card number with the security number in the back of the card. He then transferred me to another representative to record everything that I had told him before. This lady sounded progressional, assuring, and when I asked for the her organization website she told me that it is www.international-destination.com. She specifically told me that the dash in the address is minus sign. She gave me confirmation number. When I tried to write down everything I need to confirm that supposed to be in the package, she told me that they will be included in my email. Again I gave all the informations to her that I gave to Kirby Washington. I got off the phone feeling like the luckiest person in the whole department. Then a coworker warned me that I should not give out all my info and credit card number that easily, and pointed out the the memo said that it is fro H.R.Dept, but did not specify from what HR department. I brushed assure the uneasy feeling. Later on I received an email asking for my e-signature for a travel package to Mexico. I read the two pages that asked me to initial in 9 places and sign at 2 places. The words in this form were small, the content was vague, it did not include any specific detail about the package that I purchased. But they make it clear every where that my purchase is nonrefundable, that I was not forced into purchasing it. I put off signing the form. Much later that night, my credit card called me to verify the purchase. I did not call them back until the next morning when my stomach was in knots. I can't believe I was too hurry and did not make sure everything was legit before giving out my information and credit card number. My credit card closed my account but now I have to face with another worrisome problem. These people have my name, address, birthday, company name, phone numbers of cell home and work. They can manipulate these information and pretend to be me to open account and purchase things under my name. When you see a deal that is too goo to be true, it probably is.
