Last week I too was tricked into this whole 'Calypso Cay Resort' scam - holiday package for 10% approx of real deal. I was stupid enough to even go as far as giving them my real credit card details & them charging me for it. I even got recorded for it all while I was on the phone. I was just couriered a very basic 'Calypso Cay' silver package & DVD. On their one & only letter with the package, this is what they have to say:
Reference: *

The 'Terms & Conditions' is way too long for me to enter also, but there is much info about having to attend bring 2 forms of ID, one of them being a Major Credit Card. Also talks about how we must attend 90 minute, no obligation, VIP meetings otherwise we have to pay for things.
From what I can see all here now, this is one big lying game. One big scam! Why are there such dishonest people or organisations out there? The main reason why they said they were selling this promotion really cheap was because they were giving away 100 of those special offers in each country. Once people finish & enjoy their holiday, they can best promote it to others in their country. From what I can see here, if they continue to be lying scams like what they have done with me, they are only going to be legally caught & sued for the amount of frauds they have actioned in the past.
Does anyone know how I can reverse this whole payment? My 30 days is not up yet & I need to hurry up & get my money back fast! If you've successfully got a reverse for this awful 'Calypso Cay' fraud, please help me!
