888-528-8567

The people on the other end of the line called my elderly mother's phone allegedly calling from a travel agent with news that my mother had won 2 trips.  All she needed to do was give this person on the phone her checking account number and bank routing number.  She was in the process of doing just that, when my older sister stopped her from doing that.

Very scary stuff, because they had my Mom hook, line, and sinker!

Same thing happened to my elderly father and he DID give them all his checking account info. He called me thinking he had been scammed, so we went to the bank and had his account closed. Come to find out that this # 888-528-8567 is a company in Orlando, Fl. called ALG (American Leisure Group) with...well...let's just say a checkered past. Google them for yourself and see what you think. Truly scary stuff!

The same people called my elderly father from 888-528-8567 stating they were from the American Legion.  He thought he had won a vacation also.

My community is affected by this also.  The ability to clone or mimic another (different) telephone number is publicly accessible.  This scam extends internationally and limits our enforcement.  Don't talk to these people.

Called my Aunt, she paid $958 for who knows what......I did leave a message and someone returned my call, but the number they called from is now disconnected and the 888 number above wont go through.... Sad, evil people.

Reached American Leisure Group, they have an inbound and outbound phone system, so the number I was called from is simply an outbound calling system so I can't call that back.  The 888 number did go through, I was called imediately back and the issue was resolved completely. My Aunt is receiving a refund.
Thanks to John at American Leisure Group for his help.  Sorry folks, I jumped the gun - NOT evil at all.  I've had bad experiences from many other outfits taking advantage of her and NOT being responsive.

Thanks again American Leisure Group

ON 10/28/2013, I was called form ALG , American Leisure Group. I have Paid $495.00 and then on 11/14/2013 I had to pay $995 for Worldwise vaction & tours to A man by the named DON LEADBETER. For a program named Sweater Drame Program.For that amount I well receive 3 paid vactions 5 days for 5 years and I have not recived any  They have My checking acount number because I paid them by check and I had to inter my check number then I had to void the check. I have called the number and recived a massage that someone will return my call BUT not for the last 5 days that I have called have I recived A CALL BACK!!. I think this company HAS SCAMMED ME!!

I was called from ALG. American Lesure Group One Hour after POSTING That this company was a SCAM. I have talk to steven at ALG  That they have changed phone numbers and that they have be calling ME. I AM SORRY FOR THE POSTING.  
ALG AND WORLDWISE VACTION TOURS are two differant Company's.

THANK'S FOR RETURNING MY CALL ALG!!

I work in a call center and Ive also worked at a bank, so when I talked to these people I was convinced they were a real company.....until I got to the "verification rep" they will ask you to write void on a check (which means nothing) and us it as a confirmation, which would be fine except they want you to give them all of the checking information. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CHECKING#....THAT IS A SCAM RIGHT OFF THE BAT... If you don't know of the company or who they deal with then never release your checking# over the phone most company never use that as a verification. After that the call was dropped. when they called back I asked why the # they used to call me (740-954-5039) was disconnected? The rep stated that it was a automated dialing device... (which have to use a real #) so I asked what dialing system they use.. (because I work with auto dialers) he said a variety of them....(another red flag most companies only us one dialing system) after he realized that I was no longer under the impression he was legit he hung up.
in summery dont give anyone your information over the phone unless you know the company and they can verify information to the point your comfortable and also here is all the # I was given
740-954-5039

My husband and I just got off the phone with ALG.  I had reservations about the program and the first girl we spoke with said her supervisor would answer any of our questions.  Just as the other people the supervisor had us fill out a check.  As soon as he asked for our routing number, I stopped to ask a question and he said he'll cancel our registration and hung up.  

I got a call today from this same group!! Said I had won a $5000.00 cruise in the Caribbean WOW??
Then they wanted me to void a check I said ok then they wanted the check number I gave them 1234 and then the Bank told them Wells Fargo then they said they needed the routing number and I asked why he then said that the check was not from Wells Fargo at that point I told him to STUFF IT

The same thing info was asked to me. Thank you for all these reports I handled it good.

        We were told all the same things , from this so called  ALG place. We also gave them wrong routing         numbers and they did not fall for it.  We lost $ 1,300.00 with the first one . NEVER AGAIN !! ALG, was the 5th. scam this year. If you enter one sweepstakes, all of them will get your #.

I just received a call from a man by the name of Dan he stated that I won a $5,000.00 package that I filled out for. I asked him what was it and he stated that it was a 2,000.00 gift card a 2 vacation packages that would be good for five years, all I would have to pay for is drinks and gambling also that the vacations was transferable so even if I didn't want to use them I could give them to family or friends with no cost to me for the transfer. Then he went on to say that everything would be delivered via UPS and since I asked what it was he is sure that I no longer have the UPS stub for the package, so they would have to make up a receipt using a voided check. I knew it had to be some kind of scam but I went along with it to see where they would take it, so he told me to write void on the check and asked what was the check number of course I gave him a bogus number just like he was giving me a bogus story lol. so I said 1204 and gave him my bank name, then he put another man on the phone and said he was to give me a conformation number for the package. The man got on the phone and told me to write ALG on the check along with 1888-528-8567 in the memo. Then he directed me to the routing number on my check and asked for those digits, again I gave him 9 bogus numbers, then he asked me for the next set of numbers as if I didn't know it was my checking account number. I laughed and say yeah right and hung up. It's sad that people get doopped like this it's sick. They called from a 216-865-7605 but when I call the number back it just say 1,2,3,4 then beep. Everyone be careful out there

Just got the same call others are describing above.  Person who first spoke advised I had won 3 vacations and $2000.00 gift card from something I filled out 8mos. ago.  She asked for a chek# and instructed me to mark "VOID" on the top right of the check.  Afer that, she transferred me to "anthony -supervisor" to answer my questions.  He instructed me to write ALG in the pay to section of my "voided" check, put todays date and enter $595.00 as the amount.  When I asked why I needed to enter the company name and amount, he stated that was the cost to me for the "package" I had won.  When I told him I had no intention of paying anything, he hung up.  He gave a number 888-528-8567 which is a number in use, appears to be for several "contests".  I am sure I would have eventually been asked for more info such as my account and routing numbers, but we did not get to that point.  They did,however have my name and address.  I have spoken to my bank and will keep an eye on my account, but I am hoping I will be okay since no acct. or routeing #'s were given.
Everyone, please be very careful.
