I received a call last week by a man who identified himself as Kenneth; he said that he worked for Walt Disney. He said that I had filled out an entry form someplace on the internet, and that Walt Disney had chosen me for this great vacation. After he explained the trip to me, he asked for my Visa card number. I told him that I was not comfortable giving that information out on the phone to a stranger. Kenneth then seemed to get upset and told me that Walt Disney was not going to steal my money. He said that Walt Disney had been taking Visa credit card numbers over the phone for many years. He said that Walt Disney was going to pay 85 percent, or $2300 towards my vacation, but if I wanted the vacation, I would have to pay the other 15 percent, or 798 US dollars with my credit card. (I think Kenneth may need a math lesson) He then asked me to go to a website on my computer, http://www.astarvacations.com / and he would prove to me that this whole thing was for real. After I looked at the website for a little while, I asked Kenneth where it said that he had any affiliation what-so-ever with Walt Disney, and he hung up the phone.
So, in my limited experience, I would say that they must be scammers. If Walt Disney ever catches on to Astar Travel trying to profit off of their good name, they will probably sue them out business.
