Leave a CommentThis is definitely a scam! When you call to get your trip confirmation do***ents, they will place you on hold FOREVER! My spouse actually got "joed" by these people...can't believe she went for it. So, don't fall for it because they will be laughing at you all the way to the bank with your money.
Sending Spam Offers Thru Fax Ma****e and Phone Calls
RE: Abuse and scam by CHOOSECANCUN.COM. Employees Vacation time, Memo from Human resources. Some of phone numbers as used by these con artists:1-800-670-1753, 1-800-670-2156, 1-800-679-3516, 877-573-2051 and 877-260-5558, 1-800-679-3197These s***s are sending thousands of faxes (from USA and Mexico) even though your phone/faxes are registered with do not call registry. They know very well that ftc has introduced a fine of $11,000 per call but they are hidden in rat hole and shameless! The type of SCAM they are operating:These con artists know very well that they are ripping off money from innocent people and therefore you do not have to be gentle or polite with them. Being kind to them will not work at all. Asking respectfully to remove the name (though you have listed in do not call registry) will not work as they **** care for you. Their goal is to scam and rip you off. In million of faxes to USA and Ca***a, they do not provide any of their address, regular phone number and address. They claim to have a website (once you call them) which is CHOOSECANCUN.COM (and many other names of similar sites). Such sites are ***** websites to make fool of you. Even within godaddy.com (WHOIS), or other domain providers, information to their company is missing.Here are some of key highlights:1. They send faxes as if your corporate’s Human Resources is sending such faxes to employees for legitimate vacations. 3. Once you call them, they will right away ask your bank information, credit card (master card of VISA), S.S.# and Debit card numbers. 4. If you ask some details, they will ***g up or they will fool you by letting you know that they have a legitimate website like CHOOSECANCUN.COM, lowfarecan***.net, lowfarecancun.com, sales can***.com etc…. 6. One of their sale person disclosed some information by stating “ I am trained to convince a caller that we are doing legitimate business… If we succeed in a rip off, we am paid at least 50% of commission from the stolen money. Rest of money goes to CEO and Mexican police (who are part of this scam) and the balance goes towards overhead expenses such as phone/fax costs. We also operate from Florida but we are told to hide any address, and phone numbers. We are told to convince as if we are doing a legitmate business from out of USA like Cancun, Mexico. We understand that US laws has imposed a fine of $11,000 per telemarketing calls to those who are registered in DONOT CALL registry but we are untouchable in Mexico. Owner of our company has fully trained and convinced us repeatedly by telling that only foreigners, lonely people, or dump and mentally res****ed people are likely to become victim to our business as these people are easy pray in providing SS#, bank and credit card information without details or facts about legitimacy of our business. Once such customers are duped, they do not know how to file a complaint with their credit card company. In order to succeed fully, we do not offer vacation packages until 45 days. Therefore, by the time customers finds out more about our scam, he/she is too late to file complaint to Credit Card Company. 7. Filing a complaint to FTC may or may not work. Sales people have been told to be rude and intimidating once you act smart of ask more details. They will **** up the call or they will use a bad language if you will ask their regular (non-toll free phone), their fax or address or they will give you fake address in Mexico. Most of the time they will bore you by putting a long music. One of agent even stated” US government has no jurisdiction about DONOT CALL registry in Mexicao and furthermore US does not have enough funds to locate or prosecute any of us in USA and Mexico” What can you do?1. If you have provided your credit card information to them, file a complaint with your credit company ASAP to dispute the charges. Tell them that you are victim of scam and never authorized charges to this company. File a complaint within days after you provided your credit card information. 2. If you are bothered a***n and a***n about their faxes, call them at their toll free number and make enough fool of them. Have a long discussion (have a fun too) by pretending as if you are a legitimate caller. Act little dumb!! Because will love to speak with dump persons - they believe that such people are more susceptible to such scams. Thereafter, you may blast at them and yell at them… If you call them from your office or corporate office, do not feel scared at all!!! They will know you (from their caller ID), and they will try to repel you by threatening words like, “we have called the security of your office and you will be arrested by them soon…” If you call repeatedly from home, they will scare you by saying, “we know who you are and we know your name, we will send thousands of faxes to you…” . However, they are scared and handicapped to call you or bother you! 3. By calling you, they know that they will be caught sooner as their phone and information will be displayed in your caller ID. In a worst case, even if they will call you, it will be an unknown caller- to do so, they have to pay money equivalent to 60 cents to hide their phone. Call them numerous times for fun and make their telephone bill too expensive to pay and make them bankrupt soon. If possible, call them from public booths, because toll free cost will add 60 cents more from public phone call. Call them at night when they have an answering ma****e. Sometimes, your night call will not be ***g up (due to answering ma****e) and eventually, they will be billed enormously for toll free charges.. Remember, all your calls to them are compleely free as these are toll free calls.

http://theportnoygroup.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/06/choose-can*****.html "Choose Cancun" Travel latest company to use illegal junk faxes If you were awakened in the last few days by another annoying illegal junk fax you are not alone. Millions of Americans and Ca***ians suffer from this problem every night. One of the latest scam artists to use the illegal junk fax as a marketing tool is a company promoting cheap vacations. The company, "Choose Cancun" (or at least that's what their reservation agents call it when you return their call) sends out a fax that says "Memo, to All Corporate Employees" from "Human Resources Dept." (There is a "ChooseCancun.com" company but they say they are not responsible for these illegal junk faxes). I have not been able to source this company to provide you with details how to report them. The telephone agent I reached refused to provide this information. Would you book a trip with a scam artist company like this one? I guess some of you would or they wouldn't be using this ****od to illegally obtain business. When I am able to get more details on this company I will post them so you can badger this en***y with your own nasty emails, calls and faxes to complain about their illegal activity. Wat****g out for you everyday. Eli
Faxes every few days - says "from Human resources Dept." I am really tired of this - wasting ink & paper!!
