One way to deal with the unsolicited travel scammers is to use the answering machine to screen calls. A lot of the random dial software now skips on when dealing with a machine. This technique works for a great many of the other annoying telemarketing calls as well and spares a person the necessity of having to refuse solicitations throughout the day.

However, we have entered the age of unsolicited travel offers through the fax, which is not only irritating but also wastes paper. Grrr....

<<Cabo has become more predictable -- and expensive. My idea of a "travel scam" starts with an unsolicited telephone offer. There are many versions of this. M>>

Cabo was neat when I was there. A fun place. Now it's full of ..humans.

Yeh, telephone offers. My mother-in-law fell for that one. The guy came to her place to get the check. Luckily she had called to brag about her good deal. He couldn't explain it and threatened to call the police. I did it for him. He left.
