unsolicited junk fax

unsolicited junk fax

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.

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.
Unsolicited faxes

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.

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."

I just received the same fax, did the same search on USA Today and then googled the number, so its a good thing I did.

received spam fax -- no identifying information available.

Attorney Generals are interested in these complaints. Please contact your state AG and complain.

Sam as above - spam fax. They want your credit card number right away.
Beware!

rec'd the same junk fax

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

These guys really have fun with you when you try to find out more info or get you fax number removed from their list. They claim that they don't know who is sending it and when asked for their address, they rattle off a PO box in Mexico. When I asked for a manager they transfered me to a girl that just kept hanging up on me when I asked too many questions. All of them sound like early 20's american kids with no accents. On other calls to them I was transftered to a manager that was clearly one of the young kids disguising his voice to sound lower and more athoritive. They just laugh in your face because they know you cannot find them and cannot stop the spam faxes. Since their 800 number is free, I have been calling them constantly, tying up their phone lines with  back to back phone calls, playing them music or just making them answer a useless call. Maybe we should all try that. It doesn't cost you anything and it's the only way we can bother them in reverse.

Same story as everyone else, only my response is to "fax" them at their 1-800 number, which of course is not a fax number.  It will bother them, but not waste too much of your own time.

Got the same fax, same content but they're using the following number
1-800-419-5412

Received same fax last week and today!
last week it's only the article
today it's with the USA TODAY MONEY section B logo...
Sounds too good to be true.
Googled it and found this site.
Thanks to everyone for this spam info.

Received the fax at the Law office I work in. Boss new I am planning a trip down there for Spring break so he handed it off to me. I know better then to go for a "to good to be true" gimmic so I googled the number. I think I am going to give this to my boss so we can take criminal actions.

Our office is getting the same fax, though they are giving a different number to call: 800-419-5412.

I received the same fax at my company. They said they were offering corporate discounts and that it was for a limited amount of time.  I didn't google prior to giving out information.  I feel like a complete idiot!!  I'm in the process of contesting the charges with the bank.
