果然是個騙局

前晚接到這樣的電話：
"Miss Wang, you just won a cruise vacation!!
You are chosen from the forms filled up at NYAF last weekend."


這種從天而降的好康事情都會讓我再三地懷疑。
最大的疑點是，哪有什麼正牌的公司會在晚上十點多打電話來通知這種事情的啊！

這位工作人員接著講出一長串的說明
我最討厭這種照稿子講半天的電話，從來也聽不懂他們的重點在哪裡
尤其喜歡講一堆"聽似專業"的術語...
於是，聽她講完了之後，我從頭問她一遍細節：

Q: 這個行程是從哪裡到哪裡？行程細節？
A: Florida to Bahamas. You can stay at Florida for four days, and then take a cruise to Bahamas.
Back from Bahamas, you will go to Disney World. The hotel we provide is very close to the DisneyWorld. And you will also have a private car service waiting for you during the whole trip...

--- 講得很動聽，但是重點別忘了，是從Florida開始喔，那我還要自己出機票錢到Florida耶～

Q: 那如果我接受的話，我現在應該要怎麼做呢？ (其實我完全沒有要接受的意願)
A: We need your credit card information.
Q: But I thought it is FREE. You told me "I won the trip."
A: You will only be charged for $598 for two persons ($299 for one person).

--- 開玩笑，我怎麼可能給你信用卡資料。而且騙一個人的錢不夠，她還要我訂兩個人的行程。

Q: 那我需要時間考慮，你可不可以寄書面資料給我慢慢研究呢？
A: 很抱歉，你如果沒有現在接受的話，我們就要把機會給下一個人了喔～

--- 沒有書面資料就讓人更加懷疑這公司的信度了！還威脅我要馬上做決定，更讓人不爽！

Q: 到底有多少人被抽中呢？
A: only 1%.

--- 騙鬼啊！

Q: 你們公司叫什麼名字？之前沒有聽到，請再講一次。
A: Imperial Majesty Cruise...

--- 那我以後想去在找你們的公司吧～這次就先掰掰囉


原來不是只有台灣有騙取信用卡資料的詐騙集團啊！
後來看到下面這篇報導，更加確定這是個騙局了～
其實，會接到這種無聊電話，
也要怪我當初隨便留下資料給對方，
還以為是什麼正牌的旅遊公司...
原本是想要有免費假期的期待，最後變成了令人氣惱的騙局啊！



New York Anime Festival Warns Attendees of Cruise Scam

Vendor banned from future shows for trying to gather credit card info

Protoculture Addicts Editor-in-Chief Claude J. Pelletier and translator Miyako Matsuda report that VTS Global, a vendor at New York Anime Festival (NYAF) 2007, has been attempting to gather credit card information from them and other attendees by claiming they have won a free cruise to the Bahamas. VTS Global set up a booth at NYAF's exhibition hall that offered a drawing for a free cruise for people who filled out a form. The company then reportedly contacted Matsuda and others Monday to say they had "won" a cruise, but they must first pay US$299 for "taxes." VTS Global would not offer any other details unless a credit card number is given, and claimed it would select another "winner" if a card number is not provided.

NYAF has advised attendees to treat VTS Global as a scam and to report any contact to NYAF's management. NYAF programming manager and Reed Exhibitions staffer Peter Tatara told ANN that he is "making sure [VTS Global is] blacklisted from all of Reed's future shows." Attendees who did not fill a form for a purported free cruise drawing are not affected.
