Requesting "Your time and opinion" which results in attempts to have the target provide personal information during the interview. Things such as income, source of income, employer information, travel habits, credit card account information, voting information (political party affiliation), information on family travel habits, etc. In exchange for the information, scammer is offering compensation in the form of a "3, 5 or 7 night cruise for two on any major cruise line of your choice with included air fare round-trip."

This company is a scam that operates under different names: Russian tour America, Amerix tour operator and Sonata International corporation. The same owner from Ukraine operating all these businesses You will not receive services which they are advertising. You will have a bus driver instead of a tour guide and you will be placed in a rundown hotel. If you say that you will complain they will issue threats against you. This company has no customer service , and they provide the worst experience ever. They have fake reviews on their website, and you will not find any reviews on any other sites because they are a scam. I have pictures of threats and we will be pursuing charges against the fake business.

On Friday, June 7, I was searching for airfares on https://www.cheapflights.com/, which lists fares through a variety of sites, such as Priceline and Expedia. The lowest fare returned was through SmartCheapFares.com ($181.21). I booked my flight on their site (https://smartcheapfares.com/), providing full legal name as it appears on my driver's license, my date of birth, my full address, my telephone number, my e-mail address, and my full credit card information (account number, expiration date, and CVV code). At 7:08 pm EST I received an e-mail confirmation with a booking reference number of 7328. The e-mail stated I would receive a confirmation email once the booking is confirmed and a ticket has been issued. After receiving no further communications after approximately a couple of hours, I opened a chat session on the SmartCheapFares website during which I was told I would receive a confirmation e-mail within 24 hours of booking the flight. At approximately 3:00 am EST Sunday, June 9, (approximately 32 hours after booking the flight) I opened a new chat session on the SmartCheapFares website during which I was told I would receive a phone call after 9:00 am EST. Shortly before 12:30 pm EST, after not receiving a telephone call or e-mail, I opened a new chat session during which I as informed I would receive a call in approximately 50 - 60 minutes. After approximately 90 minutes, after receiving no telephone call or e-mail, I opened a new chat session and explained the history. Someone said "Please allow me a moment to check." No one responded after that. I had the chat session open for approximately 1 hour and tried several times to get someone's attention, but no one responded. Although I do not see that I have been debited for the charge, I anticipate at least a charge for the $181.21 without receiving a ticket and anticipate other fraudulent charges.

Have been receiving calls regarding my timeshare with shell vacations and RCI for a while. Took the call and was told I have 6 vacations I haven’t utilized. Which is true. If I would give them the usage fee of roughly 500.00 each they would guarantee me 1600.00 within 90 days. But I hade to do. A minimum of 4 weeks.

You are directed to them to book hotels through Trivago. You get your reservation at the time. They cancel it and then they still charge your card and they keep your money !

Trying to cancel flight tickets and get refunded. Scammers ask for payment to upgrade tickets to refundable.

Lost money $ 762

After that they are asking for copies of my passport and of my family. But I did not send.

The scaring thing is that I called an official number from American Airlines website and they picked up. Thought I was talking to AA.

Promised a cruise for two nights on Margaritaville, and 2 nights on Grand Bahama Island. They lied. Then found out it was 2 nights in Fort Lauderdale. Then when I tried to book, they ping ponged me back and forth between Take a Break Travels and CRS. None of them would refund my $$.

Recover letter in mail that promised to complimentary round trip airline vouchers& 2 nights at one of over 1,000 Marriott, Hilton, or Hyatt locations. No website listed on the letter, which is extremely unusual, especially for any legitimate business. The letter has a big Wingate By Wyndham and logo at the bottom right, and “Event Location” under it.

Received mail that offered free hotel stays, free meals, etc. Did not explain what we had to do. Call the number because "offer will expire" in 48 hours. Call to number was unanswered. Scammer appeared to be registered with travel and leisure show in Atlanta, but no further information was given. Used Embassy Suites logo and mentioned all major airlines but Delta.
