The voice sounded like the woman's voice used in lots of previous scam recordings.
I couldn't make out what she actually said where I transcribed "front tail bore people".

"... for up to four people"...
I get this message about once per week. I reallize that I'm projecting here, but if I ever encounter someone who sounds exactly like the nasally, knuckle-dragging yanky whore who keeps calling me about "beeeutiful can-coooon mexico" I'm going to tear off her skin in strips and tuck them up inside myself. Creepy, huh? Well that's what she's driving me to.
I get the call often too...always from a different state, but always the same lady's voice recording. For a different destination and different price each time. Eg, Cancun Mexico. Costa Rica. Puerto Vallarta Mexico. etc.
I got this call at work and pressed all the right buttons to talk to a live operator. I told him a fake name and told him I couldn't leave the country because of a judicial matter...I explained further that I had broke the law and the gov't would not let me leave. I figured that if they were trying to rip people off, I might as well have some fun with them. The guy hung up on me. What a hoot!
