Went on website for cruise holiday competition 12mths ago, they called and said i won with radisson hotels and caribbean cruise free holiday and accomodation in fort lauderdale, florida and cruise in bahamas. luxury holiday tax to be paid by winner 998 usa dollars and flights could be arranged with quantas at discount through all seasons travel and paid by winner. 2yrs to use tickets and accomodation deal to funparks etc, downpayment required by credit card on the spot if wish to accept, confirmation emailed immediately. After gave credit details then mentioned radisson had deal with timeshare company and would be required to attend 1 day session in fort lauderdale and florida. Refused offer but given run around and customer service numbers and addresses to reverse agreement to accept offer and stop credit charges. Hoax discovered as number not in service, no reply from writing and found these complaints in support of suspicions. Disputing credit charges with bank and will be refunded hopefully, cancelled cards so they cannot get my money again. Lesson, never, ever, give out credit details to anyone who calls you or by internet/email. Only do it if your approaching them ie. buying stuff on the net and use an accredited secure payment method like paypal or through your own bank website online (b-pay). these scammers are calling internationally now, not just the states as I see going on months ago from this complaint system.
