Additional information about this scam: I got a call from the number saying that I purchased a time share or cruise in the last 24 months but never used it and they were asking if I wanted to collect on my points or something like that. They asked if COVID was the reason why I wasn’t traveling. I said that I would rather stick my penis in a pencil sharpener than go on a cruise or go to a timeshare presentation and he hung up.
I called back the number (which is the only reason why I’m posting it here) and someone from a travel agency answered and I explained the first phone call and he said something like “well…do you want to travel?” and defended the first guy by saying “well he’s just trying to make America travel again” I told him that I would pay him if he deleted my number and then jumped out of a top story window and he hung up.
Oh, this is the one where they claim you had all of these trips paid for but never took them which is a complete fabrication. For some reason they stopped calling one of my burners a while ago.
The interesting (but likely coincidental) thing is that I did talk to one of these cruise booking cold calls a few years ago (back when I was deliberately wasting scammer’s time) and I put the guy on hold while I talked to my “wife” and I “accidentally” hung up while in the middle of giving my (fake) credit card information. He frantically called me back to get the rest of my card and then I asked a few questions and put him on hold again to talk to my “wife” and said that she said no and that I can’t go.
I highly doubt that this was related to that. I tried calling back a few of the other spam numbers that called me today but no luck.
Verification told me they bill as Trade Show Travel and gave me the phone number: 888 226 6011

Weird is they don’t hangup, they just put you on infinite hold “Christmas Background Piano Part 38” (had a pleasant interaction with them)
Forgot to mention this is a monsterrg.com, Monster Reservation Group company. They have a bit of a history using public information and generating a feeling of “sunk cost fallacy” in order to sell.
