Cruise & Resort package?

[roncli]

I received a call today from someone who identified themselves as Carnival, and recognized that I had sailed with Carnival in the past. They then proceeded to tell me I was selected for a $1,599 package that involved a minimum 7-day cruise plus a separate 7-day resort stay that could be booked within the next 18 months.

 

Problem is, the phone number I got on caller ID, 866-227-4949, is coming up with no significant information on Google, and certainly isn't coming back as a Carnival number.

 

The deal sounds lovely, and given we are likely going to sail again next June, I'd like to find out if there's any way that I can verify whether or not this is a legitimate deal. What would be the best way to go about doing that?

They are not Carnival, they might have implied they are giving Carnival cruises, but sounds like a scam to me.

 

I agree run.

Scam.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Got a similar call/offer a year ago. I found an online site where I verified it was, indeed a scam. Sorry don't remember the name, but I found it by googling repeatedly. (Not snopes.com)

Good luck!

Got same call, googled while on phone with gentleman and it is a scam coming out of Jamaica so when I told him of course he hung up quickly.

Time share!!!

Update on this, the lady called back from a second number 800-748-5177 claiming to be the "Carnival promotions department". Upon looking up that number, turns out it's from a company called ICE Vacations Club, which is a known scammer.

 

Figured it was too good to be true. :P If they had called from that number to begin I would have found this out and never would have given it any thought.

 

Be careful! People will try to sell you anything these days.

These people just called me today. Sounded scammy so I claimed I'd call them back later.
