Despite being on the no-call list, your travel4seniors.com editor has suddenly been inundated with those hated phone calls at home. Some of the latest, coming in almost daily, promise free cruises.

The recorded pitches are usually spoken by women with American accents. However, the suspicion is that the racket originates in phone centers in Russia, China, Africa and/or Mexico. Why any potential senior suckers in their right minds would give out personal, financial info on the phone to strangers makes no sense at all. At first we cussed them out, but latest info warns us to just hang up.

Reports are that technically advanced robocall crooks can now record your voice and use it to contact bank or credit card company to make illegal withdrawals. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Add to it: there’s no such thing as a free cruise.
