DEC 10 th 2008 Astar at it again and how do you stop them. Last week i must have had 3/4 calls from the u. S and after telling them 3/4 times i wasn, t who they were asking for I finally gave in and took the call to see what it was all about so here goes. Congrats and all that rubbish about winning a superb holiday worth over 4000 etc. Then passed on to someone else who rattled on for another ten mins or so. The fact that theres such a large time span to take this holiday of a lifetime got me thinking "this is a scam". Anyway he ALIAS MICHAEL NISSEN continued to talk about what a great oppotunity this was and for the small amount of 674 for 4 people for 2 weeks in sunny florida "what a bargain".
He then moved on to the very easy part where they ask for your credit card details and that everthing will be in motion and tickets in the post blah blah blah.
Luckily for me i had to talk to my partner who deals with this, or so i told him and within 30 secs he was making consessions for me to do this as a one off etc and they would call back on monday, but this was not the norm according to Mr Nissen.
Anyway I went straight onto google and found what I was looking for, a list of complaints about another scam from the U.S.
To all you honest souls out there, when it sounds to good to be true 99.9% of the time it is. Do not give your credit card details out over the net unless you know exactly what companies your dealing with otherwise your fingers will be burnt.
