NO DATES, ADDRESSES, PHONE NUMBERS OR PASSWORDS...................
She should dispute it with her credit card.
But we know why she posted this on FB. She wanted to brag about the money she was spending on the best room on the cruise ship. Maybe don’t brag so much next time and this won’t happen.
I never divulge trips or photos of my trips until I get back from the trip.
Thieves scan the pages to try to find houses that are unattended while the owners are out of town.
Just so dumb on so many levels! Their house could have been robbed or squatted during their vacation by an actual scammer, rather than this prankster maturely cancelling her trip. I love seeing friends’ trip pics on social media, but never post them in real time, either!
How about:
DON'T USE FACEBOOKNo account? No worries.
Why does Carnival care?
“sharing booking number on Facebook”
Man people are dumb. SMH
On a side note, I’m sure you’ll get some negative comments about cruise ships in general but the offer of inside cabins......those are for suckers IMO.
Once you’ve had a balcony cabin.....there is no going back. 😏
I’m sure Tiffany called and wanted to speak to the manager.
This happens to her.....and then the dingbat heads to Tik Tok to cry.
Hey Lady, quit putting all your business and information online for anyone to see.
“Banks and her husband accidentally shared their cruise booking reference number when posting a screenshot of an email with the countdown to their vacation on Facebook a few weeks out, according to the clip.”
I posted a pictures of all my credit cards and keys on social media, and somehow and for some reason I was the victim of identity theft and burglary.
How can this have happened, and why do the banks claim it is not their fault, why can’t they have better security?
Why would any locksmith cut a key from a photograph ?
lol
1. So did Carnival get and keep the money?
2. Or did the scammer who made the fraudulent cancellation get the get the money/account to swich who’d get the rooms.
3. It aslo sounds like Carnival does not have good enough securoity for their reservation/reservation cancellation services. Merely knowing the booking number is not to me “identification” sufficient for the cancellation. There had to have been other personal data the fraudster had obtained and used.
Carnival? They should consider themselves lucky
So, bottom line, her credit card information was stolen, and the theft was made easy due to her posting her cruise plan details online? Terrible.
She was offered two other rooms, but turned them down as not adequate for her group.
And now, Carnival Cruise says it’s already too late for her to be refunded. I would be tearing (what’s left of) my hair out! Devastating. All that money. All those fun plans.
But, at some point, she’s going to need to let the worst of the anger go and move on, lesson learned. She will need to show her kids how a grown up deals with profound disappointment.
First of all, stop using FaceButt and secondly, the cruise line needs to make this whole.
15K is a great sum of money for a vacation.
A Carnival customer service representative told her that she had canceled her $12,000 reservation for the ship’s largest room — the Excel Presidential Suite — through the online system.
Something is wrong right there. Cruise lines usually disable the ability to cancel a cruise on line weeks out from the sailing date and you need to call them if you choose to cancel
Cruises are the playgrounds of serial killers.
It looks like some criminal cancelled it simply for the sick pleasure of doing so.
Never divulge personal data. You would think that everyone would know this by now.
Social media stupidity. why don't they sue Mark Zuckerbucks?
I never put that sort of information out in the public for just this kind of reason. At the same time, I would never book a cruise on Carnival, either.
