This company is a fony telemarketing company. If they ever call your cell phone or your house phone and you have caller ID, your caller display will show either, anonymous, 1 866 897 2756, 1800 339 5120. Sometimes they will have other numbers. This company has been very hard to track down in the past, and still is.
When they call your phone, they make you believe that you have won and been qualified for a vacation package that seems to good to be true. The vacation package always involves Orlando, Florida and appears to have no cost. The only thing they ask you to cover is the vacation fee's since the package is worth over a certain price, and your air fare. They somehow know all of your information such as your address, your number (home, cell, work), your first and last name and whether you are married, widowed or single. They also say that they have done a visa check for you fee, and you are in good standing with visa, they say they know this since they work with visa. No one works with visa apart from visa! If you tell them you do not have a visa they will push and say you have a MasterCard that is also in good standing, even if you do not have one they will push to get the number for your card.
Whatever you do, do not supply your visa or MasterCard number. They might somehow also have your visa card number on file somehow and will make charges on your card while you are on the phone with them. Even though they tell you you only have to pay the fees for the trip, they have made payments for 2 tickets to universal studios, hotel rooms, cruise, etc. Once you get a phone call from them contact you credit card company as soon as you get off the phone with them and cancel your card number just in case they had your card number and made purchases for a vacation package.
