Description

I was listening to the radio (Magic 97.3) in Puerto Rico when suddenly an ad came on about how the first 10 callers who say the name of a fruit with 3 As in it will win a trip. I called and was told that I was caller number 3 and answered correctly. They then advised that they would call me back for my information. I want sent a message via WhatsApp with a code. After a while I received a call stating that i had won not 1, but 2 trips. I was hesitant and asked whats the catch, but was told that there was no catch and that i just won. The guy even sent me a vertificate showing his company X Travel was real and located in MIA. They did mention that i had to pay for the taxes which were $399. They even told me to call the radio station to confirm which i did. The lady at the radio station said that the sweepstakes was not from them but from a third party company. I called them back and accepted the offer, believing that it was real. The lady mentioned that they would offer a tour of the hotel which i just "well i just wont do that" because they said it like it was optional. They then also said that i would need to pay some other fees at the time of reservation. I becane skeptic because why would i need to pay if i won a free stay at hotels? However i then started to read on their website and realized that i was scammed by a time share company. They never mentioned on the call what it was. I thought they were a travel agency. Turns out they are scamming people saying they won a sweepstakes to a hotel, but in reality they are taking 399 dollars and selling you the time share.
