Your were smart enough to opt out.  I called my visa company and traced the company, Tropical Travel, which had withdrawn my money.  I called Tropicaltravel.net and the lady said that they are not related to cancuncalling.com nor is Tropicaltravel.com.  They had written to the Attorney General about this scam but obviously the guys were off the hook.  The lady said that they have stopped in the US but started in Canada.  THE GUYS ARE VERY ORGANIZAED AND PROFESSIONAL AND THEY EVEN CALLED ME BACK TO CONFIRM MY ADDRESS TO SEND THE INFO PACKAGE.  PLEASE STOP THIS AND DO NOT BE THE NEXT VICTIM.

i received a call from (519) 516-9898 answered and was informed about the 2 vacations i won. one to Disney world and the other to Cancun. they proceeded to direct me to a website www.cancuncalling.com. all i had to do was pay $399 per vacation so a total of $698 on a visa card. this is clearly a phishing scam looking for c/c info.

I have the same promo and recieved it from Cancun Calling, I figured it was a scam at first and spoke to the agents. I just went for the Cancun part of the vacation that they offered. I checked the billing statement from Tropical Travel and realized that it was just a merchant account name. I initially checked all background information and like you i checked tropicaltravel.com and .net but they had no like to that company either. Just to find out that they are a whole different company. But then when I spoke back to the customer service department of the company cancuncalling they explained to me that thats just their merchant account name and tropica travel the travel agency has a whole different merchant account name. Went ahead and clarified it with my family that it was completely safe and are planning on traveling before the end of the year after the kids come out from school.

Got the same call, but from (403) 709-8686.

When I first picked  up an automated message claiming to be from Air Canada asked me to push 1 if I wanted to recieive 50 000 bonus Aeroplan points. When I pushed 1, I was transferred to the guy from cancuncalling.com.

this is reply i got from bell canada pls read it
Thank you for your letter regarding a caller representing themselves as Bell Canada.

This was not a call from Bell.

Many cellular customers from various companies are being called and told that very same thing.

When you press “1” to collect the travel dollars “you won”, it connects you to a person who then attempts to extract personal information from you.

It is just another form of social engineering that the criminal world has come up with.

The best advice I can give is to do exactly what you did…hang up.

We take this very seriously and our Corporate Security group is currently investigating the situation.
