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".

Sep 14: Vehicle warranty scam

There was some recording. I pressed one. The person said the name of the organization was "Dealer Services". Sounds dodgy. She said the address is

"Dealer Services"
1001 West Cypress Road
Ft Lauderdale, Florida

She would not give me a phone number.

The recording said something about having sent a postcard before and something about having to act quickly before something expires. This extended warranty bullshit is sounding more and more like a scam.

I doubt that a friend or a family member entered my name at a vacation kiosk at one of those stores. I think that recording is a lie. They're trying to scam people into thinking they "won" something.

May 15: "Drew" with "rewards department" Cancun and Orlando vacation scam

I got a call from a recording of "Drew" with some "rewards department" about a five day four night vacation in Orlando Florida and Cancun Mexico. He said "touch one" a bunch of times "to claim your vacation" and various other things. He said "touch two" to be removed from their list.

I pressed one and the operator asked if I was at least twenty-three years old, and I said yes. Then she asked if I had a valid credit card, and I said yes. Then she transferred to another operator.

"Lauren", the other operator, recited a bunch of crap from a script. She asked me to confirm my telephone number, so I gave them the phone number they called. I gave her a fake name, and it was amusing to hear her insert that fake name in the blanks in the script. She said something about a one-day promotion price, and something about one hundred and fifty dollars and fifty cents and something about it being an over three thousand dollar value.

She said the website was www.m4sunset.com, and the phone number was 1-800-961-8354.

When it came time to give a credit card number, I gave them a fake number. I heard a bunch of cheering in the background around that time.

Apr 9: Recording of Costa Rica and Orlando resort "vacation kiosk" at Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Wal-Mart, or Target scam

Woman's voice: "Hello. Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Wal-Mart, and even Target now have their spring displays up. Recently a friend or family member who visited one of these stores entered your name at the vacation kiosk. For a chance to receive twenty-six hundred dollars towards a fabulous all-inclusive resort vacation. Congratulations. Your name was selected today to receive twenty-six hundred dollars towards a fabulous five day all-inclusive vacation to beautiful Costa Rica. Followed by an exciting six day Orlando Florida vacation to Walt Disney World. Including theme park tickets or rental car. Your accommodation for up to four people beer(?) our exclusive beach-side resort and casino. While you are our guests, you will enjoy all-you-can-eat meals, beer, wine, alcohol, along with touring the volcanos, rain forests, and the incredible white sandy beaches. Press two now to receive your twenty-six hundred dollars towards this all-inclusive vacation. Don't miss out. Imagine you and your family enjoying free food and drink, sport fishing, snorkeling, horseback riding, plus the breath-taking wildlife Costa Rica is famous for. Press two now to enjoy all of this with your twenty-six hundred dollars towards this all-inclusive resort vacation."

I very much doubt that a friend or family member entered my name at any "vacation kiosk". That sounds like a lie and this sounds like a scam.

The "...up to four people beer our exclusive..." doesn't make sense, but that's what it sounded approximately like. Perhaps something was spliced in or out at the "beer".
