Antonio , Astartrips . Tried to con me into giving visa card number for a holiday i had supposedly won .Tampa Florida
Antonio (prob not his real name) rang me to tell me i had won a holiday in Florida plus a cruise to the Bahama's . He sounded so genuine i was nearly taken in by him. |I come from Ireland and this guy rang me from america and spent nearly an hour describing this wonderfull holiday i was going to go on and all the extra's i was going to enjoy because of my luck .
At first it was just me and a partner but then it went up to four....as long as i didn't mind paying the up front fee of 516 euro's which had to come off my credit card. I laughed at that and politely told him that he would have to ring me back as i hadn't got my card details with me. Well he assured me that he would ring back but never did . The phone number he gave me was false and so was his whole story......
there is a moral story to all this and that is ...if it sounds too good to be true well usually it aint . Never give credit card details out over the phone and just because your paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get ya . Always exercise caution . The world is full of con artists that are without morals or feelings so do yourself a favour and don't let urself become a victim .
