I received a phone call from this sfx.lifestylecollection.com, they say they are connected to SFX. Their offer was 2 weeks at any Vidanta property in a one bedroom for $799, no resort fees, no blackout dates.
Probably stupid on my part, I gave them the credit card for the $99 down-payment but during the same phone conversation I got cold feet and asked them to cancel. They tried to convince me not to cancel, then they told me I cannot cancel, then that it is cancelled but they cannot send me an email to confirm the cancellation. They told me I have to wait 7 days to see the money back in my credit card account. This would be fine, I just do not trust I have not been scammed. I checked my credit card and the pending transaction is indeed for $99 and the vendor is OUR VACATION CENTER not SFX, another redflag.
Have I been scammed, has anyone heard of this company? Should I just call the credit card company?
By the way, I tried a search in TUG but SFX does not come up because the word is too short.
