Scam,   thalassemia all you need to know.  Don't answer.

Did not recognize so did not pick up

"you have earned travel benefits including cruises ......"  Total horse manure.  I pressed 9 "if your are not interested".  Will that stop the calls -- ha ha ha ha -- yeah right.

Anolther travel scam to get you to take a free cruise so they can either get your credit card information, charge you for phony charges on your "free" cruise, listen to a time share pitch, or any or all of the above.

Proof these people are scumbags.  Check out the following:

Hilton/Marriott/Hyatt Hotels Vacation Call

How The Scam Works:

(with video below) The phone rings. You see a local number, so you pick up. An automated voice informs you: "Because you've been a past customer of the Hilton Hotels --or Marriott or Hyatt-- you qualify for a free vacation with our company. Press 1 to hear more". How does the scam work?

Watch the video below to see and hear in action a real conversation caught on tape with the scammer - did you get one of these?

Hilton Vacation Scam Recorded Video

As a 'free vacation' sounds pretty interesting, you press 1. From there you are connected with an operator who takes the call live and asks if you are over 18. Similar to the Expedia, Air Miles, or WestJet scam, this is followed by a series of questions asking for personal information, which unfortunately victims are willing to share.

The operator also puts you through an agent who presents you the deal, which - he says - is only available today! Well, the "deal" is available tomorrow, and the day after, and everyday for that matter, for every victim.

No Affiliation With Hilton, Marriott, Or Hyatt Hotels

This self-called Alejandro will ask you to go to a website, Luxury Getaway Group, to see the trips the company is offering to Mexico. You are asked to pick one and they will throw in a "free" second vacation, which comes with a bunch of unexpected taxes and hidden charges.

If you watched the video above, you noticed that the caller had absolutely nothing to do with Hilton, Marriott, or Hyatt. Just using their names to get you lured in.

How To Avoid The Free Vacation scam:

Hilton, Hyatt or Marriott don’t have an automated call outreach, so don’t fall for this scam. Report it. Luxury Getaway Group was criticized to lure customers via these automated calls using other brand names as well, such as WestJet and Expedia. Always do your research when you receive 'free points' or vacations via phone or even social media.

Scammers use a technology named Caller ID spoofing to show a local number on your phone when it rings, for a better chance of you picking it up. You can report the scam and number below.

How To Report The Free Vacation scam:

Make your family and friends aware of this scam by sharing it on social media using the buttons provided. You can also officially report the scammers to the Federal Trade Commission using the link below:

Do not call complaint  https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

Unsolicited call to my mobile; no message. Into the steaming pile of blocked numbers.

Travel Rewards on my Do Not Call listed number is all I need to know. Just another scam and likely a spoofed number.

CID: "TRAVEL REWARDS"

My reward would be for these clowns to evaporate from the surface of the earth.

Standard spammer MO.

They have called way too early this morning at 9:36 AM PDT. I am going to bomb these Mother effing terrorists.
