Description

Scam phone number was called accidentally being mistaken for legitimate online travel agent from a google search. The scam phone travel representative agreed to make my needed final payment for our upcoming cruise, after i gave my actual RCL booking number and payment information and proceeded to say that additional international docking fees were needed to be paid at same time. They proceeded to actually pay the necessary final payment to RCL via my credit card which I then received an automated legitimate confirmation email from my travel agency showing final payment made, but they also required a separate payment for so called "docking fees" which is a SCAM for $275 paid to Cruise OFH. Later I found out there is no additional "docking fees" even though at the moment I questioned the scammer representative multiple times regarding these fees, but they seemed to have solid answers to my concerns explaining that new fees are now required at international ports including Mexico and the other ports of call and must be paid. I was also aware through news media that Mexico was indeed enacting additional port fees for tourists this year which made me believe this was legit. Please be Careful, because it seemed pretty legit and they remarkably actually did have my final cruise payment processed but then collected illegit money for bogus docking fees that they pocketed.
