non-Disney hotels calling me

[jenjenmouse]

Does anyone else get calls from non-Disney hotels with "to good to be true" offers? Ramada Resort is bugging me to come stay there but I love Disney property hotels and when I tell them the offer doesn't temp me they say well I think I can get you something cheaper. I wish they would quit bugging me.

How do they know that your are going to WDW? Where would they get your information from? That is kind of scary.
I have never had any resort call me to stay at their hotel instead of Disney, and I have stayed on site 5 times in 7 years.
I do get timeshare advertisements in the mail and on line, but that is because I have filled out brochures etc.

I'm moving this to the Orlando Hotel board as it does not relate to Disney Resorts.

IT'S A SCAM.

Be careful. My neice fell for this last year and it was a timeshare presentation while her family stayed in an no air condition rat trap.

Ramada should be ashamed of themselves!

It sounds like a timeshare come-on. I get those too in the mail and as e-mail Spam. They go into the garbage!

Ever see those timeshare booths around Orlando? I tend to walk around or walk quickly past them. They usually don't bother me when I'm travelling solo.

I got this call also and I believe they got my info from the Florida tourism office (don't know the specific name). I sent for the "Orlando Magicard" and the call followed soon after my info arrived. Maybe we all have this in common?

Herc.

Thanks for the responses. I have never had someone call me like that before. When I asked how I got "chosen" they said it was my last visit to the resort. But I have never stayed there so then they got huffy and said " Do you understand the deal you are getting? It is by invitation only!" Oh well they have stopped calling after I stopped answering.

I think the rule of thumb is to beware if they call YOU.

If it's RAMADA PLAZA RESORTS that called you, it's a scam. The Ramada parent company doesn't have anything to do with the scam. The link below shows other people who have been taken:
