Type of a scam Travel/Vacations
Reported that my phone number has been selected because I had traveled abroad and stayed at one of their resorts. Trying to get my banking information, promised me great deals. The scammer hung up cuz I left him talking, I called back and he pretended he didn’t know what was going on and I’m sure it was the same guy. I believe the full was using his own personal phone number.

Caller ID shows call is local. First call, female said she was from travel service and asked if I could hear her okay. When I answered "yes", the call disconnected. Called the number and got a recording, saying I had reached customer service, but did not give name of organization. Gave option to speak to a representative, then said all were busy. Gave option to be put on their "do not call list", which I did. Second call received from same number a little over two weeks later. This time a make said he was a representive from a home security service and asked if I could hear him. This time I did not respond "yes" and the call soon disconnected. Called number back and got same recording as before.

Have received two calls from same number. Caller ID says it is from a community close to me. First call, person identified themself as representative of travel agency and asked if I could hear them okay. When I answered "yes", the call disconnected. When I called back, a recorded message said I had reached customer service, but did not say for whom. An option was given to put on "do not call list," but it obviously doesn’t work.
The second call receive said they were from a home security service. Didn’t give them a "yes" this time. Called the number back and got the same recorded message as before.

Received a phone call from an unknown number stated it was someone calling from a travel agency and asked if I could hear them. I said yes and there was a pause then I realized it sounded more like a recording than a real person so I hung up. I got an uneasy feeling because I remembered hearing a news story earlier this year about these types of calls trying to get you to say yes by immediately asking if you could hear them.

They call from phone numbers in may area. Due to my work I often take phone calls from unknown numbers, I answered the calls the first month I received them. Now they call three times in a row to override my do not disturb setting and they call multiple times a day. It is so annoying!

Woman called and said she was from a resort that we had stayed at (wasn’t specific). She then giggled and said she was having trouble with her headset. Immediately asking me "if I could hear her now". I THINK I hung up without a response, but I’m not quite sure. I don’t think I said, "yes" at the beginning of the conversation, but I wouldn’t swear by it. My daughter just told me today that these scams were taking place. I hope I will not have to call you to get money back if they’ve used my voice. Is there anything you can do????
