I just finished talking with "Sasha" Employee #664 from All Seasons Travel Radisson.  Right from the get-go two days ago when I did the survey, I was suspicious.  But, I listened to what she had to say, just in case it was legit.  I had "won" this all-inclusive package to Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, and the Bahamas.  All I had to pay was the $249/person port fee.  Then I was eligible for the extra 2 travel packages for Las Vegas (3d, 2n), and Peurot Valarta (5d5n)....for only $349/person.  She then proceeded to ask me for my credit card info so I wouldn't lose out on this fantastic promotion!  Umm, I thought I'd won it.  Doesn't a promotion imply I'm buying something?  I told her I was very hesitant, and she said I could go on-line and check out their website (astarsun.com) and see it was legit.  She told me her full name (Sasha Secan) and employee # 664.  She told me that my info had been given to their company because I had either stayed at a Radisson hotel or rented a car in the States and was considered a "VIP".  I have done neither.  I told her so.  This totally caught her off-guard.  She said that they are affiliated with many other companies and that one of them must have given them my info.  I then asked her that if I had "won" the Orlando/Ft.Lauderdale/Bahamas trip, and it was supposed to be free, why couldn't they send me the package without getting my credit card info?  Again, she didn't know what to say.  I told her I'm just protecting myself.  She said, yes, she understands this. Again, she told me to go look at their website.   I said, their site might look legit, but it could totally be made up.  She talked about how the call was being recorded for my protection and that I had to give verbal confirmation that I was authorizing charges to my credit card.  Ya, so you can scam me.  She said, "In a restaurant, you give your credit card to a server, and they WALK AWAY with it!  How can you trust that?"  I was thinking that if the server used your card illegally, you have a hell of a better chance at the credit card company protecting you than if you have given voice authorization over a phone.  It's just proof for All Seasons to get you with.  I told her I thought she was scamming me.   "But I gave you my full name and employee number.  Why would I give you my name if this wasn't a legitimate promotion?"  LOL.  I told her it could be a fake name.  She was quite offended and told me to go look her up on Facebook.  So, long story short, I told her I wouldn't be giving her any information over the phone.  She asked me if she could move on to the next eligible customer on her list.  LMAO.  How many are there?  So, I said, "No."  She sat there silent, then asked me why not.  I said, "Because you are trying to scam people."  Well, that ended the conversation.  I kind of had fun playing with her.  Hehe.Where are all of you writing from?  I'm in Saskatchewan, Canada.  The phone area code 905 is Ontario, so I assume this scam is taking place only in Canada.Well, thanks for reading.  Have a fabulous day!  And "winner" be ware!
