Can you tell us the name of the company? And what's written in the contract or the agreement you've made for the vacation package? Did you sign anything? *If NOT, you can cancel it. You can contact your bank [for the credit card you used] and explain to the bank that you want to cancel the down-payment you've made [if possible]. If then the collecting agent still forcing you to pay for the package, perhaps you can threaten them by saying you're reporting this disturbance to the police. *If YES, you might need more help on law matter, which is not my subject... sorry. Whether it's a scam or not... I'll say this clear: NEVER PAY or give your money to anyone who says you're supposed to get something free. If they say you won something, then you shouldn't have to pay for anything except the tax [if necessary, and for a logical amount]. Here's the logic, you went there because they said you've WON a contest, and you went there to get a FREE tickets.Furnace Replacement 1. Did you remember joining a contest? And if you did, what contest was that, did they tell you what contest that you have won? 2. You want to get free baseball tickets. FREE tickets. What's the meaning of free if you have to pay for a vacation that you've never planned for? You can always go on a vacation, to a place you choose, in your own time, with the right budget.
