954-457-6673

multiple calls but never answered

called multiple times and hung up.

I answered and was told I was selected for a vacation package to Universal Studios-told me I entered a drawing at a local festival (which I didnt-now I figured out all these marketing companies just pretend to have contests just to get phone numbers) She wanted to go over all the "details" but I knew it was a scam so I hung up.

numerous calls form 954-457-6673........American Getaways

Caller was named Michael and said he was from Blue Green Resort (?), said I won a package to Orlando, FL. He left a callback number 18008055778.

My wife got a call from "Universal Studios" promo dept saying we won a free 5 day vacation all we need to do is pay the taxes. We decide to go ahead with it and pay the taxes (Don't ask why it said SCAM all over it). After getting off the phone I started to do some research and found that it most likely was a scam. So I called Kevin Scheidel back and someone told me he was busy and would no be able to talk to me. They switched me over to Mike Portman and he told me it was NON-Refundable I told him when I spoke with Kevin Sceidel he said we had 30 days to cancel. We went back and forth about no being able to get a refund. It’s my word against Kevins. I told him if he couldn't give me a refund I wanted to talk to someone who could. He told me he was GOD there and there was no one else I could talk with and he hung up on me. I called my credit card company and placed a dispute on the charge and also filed a complaint with the BBB. I’m hoping I can get a refund or I’m out $398. The email address I received my confirmation # from was Promotions Desk americangetaway2@comcast.net. The 800 number they gave me to call back was 800-805-5778. Also they mentioned something about bluegreen travel PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!!!!

We were able to get ALL of your money back from these lowlifes. I would like to thank Rich from http://boakes.org/amerivacation-cancel/ for making a blog on how to cancel a travel certificate. What I did was called my credit card to dispute the charge. Then I got the address from my credit card company (Which was a different address’s where they called me from) So I send 3 certified letters to all 3 address using Rich’s template. Well what do you know I got the mail return slip that they signed for my letter on Sep 8th and on Sep 11th I got my refund. The funny thing is that the travel certificate came in the mail the same day the green card came back to me that they signed for my letter. Thanks everyone hope all goes as well for you.

im in NY and they are at it again! so far calls but we habve never answered, beware!

i just recieved a call from the the same #. i wasnt sure what to do. they said i filled out a sweepstakes slip at a state fair and won some tickets to universal studio orlando along with hotel stays and other stuff. they said i only had to pay $498 to avoid paying $1,500 in taxes. i remembered filling out a sweepsstakes slip but dont remember that kinda prize.im glad  i decided to google the # and found this website. i wouldve fell for it. i was already trying to figure out how to get the money for it. i wouldve been soo pist cause im a stay at home mom and dont have much money to begin with. thanks for the info people.

Got the call today from 9544576673. Spoke to a very nice man trying to scam me. Sorry no dice. I listened for a while and basically its a time share cold call, it was $498 for two people for the "registration" plus we would pay taxes and incidentals. I didnt get that far before I said no thanks.

Was away on a trip.  Two calls registered on phone, no messages were left.  ID'd the phone number as 954-457-6627, American Getaways.  Got home yesterday and was called by the same number in the evening.  Didn't pick up the phone.   Presumed it was a scam and it looks as if I was right.

Received a call after 9:30at night,didn't answer. Called again, told the jerk to take me off his calling list , then he starting swearing at me. Please, don't fall for this scam. The people that are behind this are just a bunch of low-lifes. Here are some of phone #s 954-456-7577, 954-455-8632, 954-457-6627

I followed the link but it didn't take me to how to cancel the travel certificate.  I am glad you received your money back.

I have gotten these phone calls every day at night for the past week. My husband answered it and he talked to the guy about our free trip to Florida which he said I won at the Home Show but I never filled anything out for a trip. He said that he was going to give us figures for the trip and then it went to a busy signal which is what you  get when you call back. I haven't picked up the phone for this but I will definitely be getting nasty and I will tell them to send me all of the information in the mail and I will get back to them. The converstaion stopped when he said he was going to calculate the figures. I want to know where he got my name and phone number because I know that Florida does much better bisiness than this and no one is getting my personal info over the phone.

They called on 1/30/11 at 9:45 pm and woke up my two small children and myself.  I didn't get to the phone in time, but if I had they would have gotten a piece of my mind!  Ridiculous that they would call that late!

I have been getting these calls everyday this week.  I tried calling back and kept getting the busy signal... until tonight!  
The guy answered with "uh, hullo. Who is this?"  Really professional, right?
I was mildly entertained by the offer and the sincerity of the ticket booking agent.  "I understand you are skeptical, but I assure you this is a great deal!"
He sent me an email with some more information to show me that it is legit.  He also asked me to go through the nyse.com site for the link the the BlueGreen official website, so I could see that he must work there since it is a legitimate company!  It went on for twenty minutes or so, just because I know it messes up his call count and I was bored.  I asked him who, exactly, this offer was through and he said Universal Studios on behalf of BlueGreen.  I then asked him why would Universal be offering such a magnificent package that we are supposed to take on faith is real but they didn't bother giving you an email address from their own domain? Instead you got saddled with a generic Americangetaways2@comcast? Anyways: Obvious Scam Don't Fall For It!!!

just got a phone call that wanted my parents to come both to the phone. the lady said not to tell my parents yet cause it was going to be a surprise and they weren't home.  the lady acted so nice and it was a terrible thing for her to do to TRICK A CHILD ABOUT WINNING A TRIP TO DISNEY WORLD! scam.

I can't believe it! I also received a call from this people from American Getaway, the woman was like CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'RE A WINNER!! and then spoke like a thousand words per minutes.  

She offered me 2 Park Hooper tickets for Universal Studios!!.  Supposedly they got my info from an event that I went a year ago and told me they will pay up to $5,000 in expenses.  Well I asked them to call me a week later and did some internet research on them.

So, when they called me today and I told them that I was not interested, THE WOMAN GOT MAD! She was like: You're not interested in a "Royal Caribean Cruise to the Bahamas?" (wait a minute...wasn't it 2 tickets to Universal Studios????...LOL).  I told her NO, so she went: Oh we paid up to 5,000 in expenses, Its OK, I'll pass it along to the next person...and hang up!

Thanks to everybody that post their past experience...

The phone number from where they called was 954-458-0276

I think I actually did enter a vacation raffle last summer at a festival. So when they called me last week, I didn't hang up right away. I actually thought maybe I'd won. Then they started asking for credit card info. I said, just send me a write-up in the mail. The woman got annoyed. She said if you hang up, you lose the vacation and they would have to give it to someone else.

Really? Then why are you still calling my house every day, idiots?

Ok, received a call, too. Yes I did enter a sweepstakes and a local fair. Afterwards I read the small print and didn't like what I read. So when they called me I already had my guard up. I asked for a phone number that I could call them back on and they did everything but that. It's all a scam.
