Add to your list the number 800-419-5412.
A number of other people on this message board have listed it, plus that was the one I was directed to call.

I called the number and a sales person is there to assist in booking prepaid vacations to Cancun.  The faxed page has a copy of an article from USA today dated August 7, 2007. The head line reads "Cancun ranks #1 in vacation destinations" and supposedly written by Justin Kiely and Kathy Bogart.  I searched the archives of USA Today and found no such article or writers online.  I would be very suspicious of this as the article appears to be a fake.  I would not provide any personal information or credit card information.

I also called this number and asked the rep to give me details about the trip.  They wanted my credit card # before being able to select the resort.  I thought this was odd.  I told them I would call back and the rep said they have very limited space for this special offer because USA MONEY posted this article.  After looking at the USA TODAY website, i did not find the two authors listed on the article.  I'm not calling them back.  Sounds too good to be true.

At least once each week, for quite a few weeks now, this spam faxer kept calling on a toll free non-fax business line, eating up our company time, resources and toll free phone charges. We finally had to hook a fax machine up to the line in order to find out who was continually spamming our business with unwanted fax messages. As there is no header on the fax indicating who this might be and the article is clearly a forgery, this is an unsavory person doing illegal faxing. Legal action should be taken to stop this immediately and we will be reporting this to the authorities.

We received an unsolicited fax from someone who gave the following phone number as a callback number:  800-417-2496
They faxed a USA Today story dated Aug 7, 2007, which I understand is a fake story.

The story is quite obviously fake, and if USA Today did run a story like this it would be in Travel, not Money.

These people have been sending me spam faxes for over a year. I called them once and got a guy who told me he was sitting in a hotel lobby in Cancun. I said "Okay, if you are working in Mexico, what kind of visa do you have?"  He said "My company doesn't require a visa."  I said "Okay, but the Mexican government does, and you should have one with two letters and a number in your passport (example: FM-3)."  He insisted he didn't have one.

He transferred me to a "third party company" to get my credit card number. I made one up. Then when the call came back to him I said "So, if you are in Mexico how come the radio station in the background has a DJ speaking English with an American accent?"  He said "It is a station for tourists staffed by Americans."  I said "Interesting, and I happened to notice that the third party credit card service had the same station in the background."  His answer "That company is also in Cancun and just happens to listen to the same station."

Our company received the same exact fax today and I did what you did- search Today for the article. NO SUCH ARTICLE EXISTS. I am calling usa today and letting them know. I knew it was a scam b/c it appeared in the money section.

Same story as the rest. I bet if these spammers would be placed face to face with ANY of the Cancun police officers they would need new underwear.

not to mention I bet USA today could wipe them out with a copyright / impersonation lawsuit
