I first recieved a call from these con men/women about 5 days ago saying the same thing... You have won!!! Unfortunately my phone went flat so i left it at that waiting for some kind of official email to be sent to my inbox... Nothing, they then tried ringing me 3 days ago which i missed and again today... While they were trying to sell me their rubbish i checked the phone number and found out they are not in florida and the number they were ringing me on was actually in china??? So i played their game... Let them tell me all about this wonderfull holiday... Asking them all the questions i could think of to keep them on the phone as long as i could...
After 45 minutes of total garbage passed back and forth they finally started pressing me about my visa details so i said "sorry my card is actually in the car and my partner has just shot down to the shop to get milk... Can you hold the line... She will be back any second..." which they agreed, another 15 minutes later they urged me for my number again asking if i had my last bill... So i pulled out an old bill which i kept to a card that had been cancelled... Now this is the important part... I gave them the number and not even 1 minute after that a guy jumped on the line asking if i had another card as this number has expired...
beware... They are ripping you off while you are on the phone...
I sayed oh sorry ill look for the other bill... Put the phone on the bed and carried on doin the dishes... 15 minutes later i got back on and said hang on how do i know this isnt a scam? Which followed with a 10min speach from the guy on the phone directing me to their web site and all sorts of stuff on it to try and convince me...
Long story short... After approx 2 and a half hours these cons finally gave up and hung up on me... Guess they didnt want to pay too much on their bill
i tried ringing the number back but cant get through... If anyone is interested in the phone numbers i still have them but unfortunately and sadly i rang around and in new zealand there is not much i can do about these fraudsters
my only advise... Make them pay for ringing you...
