Yes they are scammers, and the above poster is absolutely right. my number is listed on craigslist for a lost pet. This company called saying they were from Anchor Bay Vacations located in Illinois. They did not know my name but said they got my number as a referral from family and friends. I created a google voice number for the sole purpose of posting the lost pet ad so I know they are scammers because my family and friends dont even know the google voice number its only for craigslist. They said this is not a sales call, but that I won 2 roundtrip tickets anywhere in the continental US and alI had to do was give them my information and come to their grand reopening celebration in Gurnee, IL to pick up my "prize". I asked for their website and was told it's under maintenance. I asked to speak to a supervisor and proceeded to ask how they got my number but no name from a referral, he kept trying to claim it wasn't to sell anything. When I asked for an address the "supervisor" hung up the phone. They both had heavy Indian accents. All the time I'm talking to them I'm googling the name of the company and there are a ton of people who have identified them as scammers. Beware.
