(877) 297-4711

Short answer: (877) 297-4711 is linked to a fake "unused vacation package" call. People who reported it say a recorded voicemail from "Nicholas" claims you bought a trip, warns you will lose it, and pushes you to call back. Every person who described the call said they never bought a vacation package. Do not call back and do not pay anything.

I looked at the public FTC complaint data for this number and at what people wrote about it on call report sites. The pattern is the same in almost every report, which is why I am treating it as a likely scam and not just an annoying sales call.

What the voicemail says

Most people first hear from this number through a voicemail. Reporters quoted it almost word for word, and it usually goes like this:

"Hello, this is Nicholas. I'm reaching out to you in reference to the vacation package that you purchased with us. I'm showing here you have not got a chance to travel on it and we do not want you to lose your trips. Please give us a call back at 877-297-4711 immediately to avoid forfeiting your trips."

Several people said the voice sounded computer generated. Some got the voicemail after a call that showed up as "Private Number."

What happens when you call back

1. Someone answers with just "Hello" and does not say a company name.
2. You are transferred to "Nicholas" or a "customer service manager."
3. He says you paid for a vacation package, with amounts reported between $300 and $1,900, sometimes from years ago.
4. He offers to "renew" or rebook the package for a fee.
5. When you ask for a receipt, an order number or the email confirmation, he says he cannot send it, gets irritated and hangs up.

One reporter said the caller used the name "Worldwide Vacations." That name appears in a single report only, and I have not confirmed that any real company by that name is connected to this number. Scammers often borrow names that sound like real travel businesses.

What the complaint data shows Reports about (877) 297-4711 Source What it shows FTC Do Not Call data on this site 31 complaints, most filed as travel or timeshare calls, from 9 states led by Florida, Oregon and California ReportedCalls 66 FTC complaints from 25 states, about two thirds flagged as robocalls, from August 2025 to October 2026 CallFilter user reviews 15 reviews, all negative: 10 marked scam, 4 advertising, 1 other

The counts differ because each site pulls from different dates and sources. What matters is that the reports point the same way: an unwanted, mostly prerecorded call about a vacation package people say they never bought.

Why this looks like a scam

• You never bought the trip. Every person who described the call said they had no vacation package with anyone.
• A deadline. "Call back immediately to avoid forfeiting your trips" is pressure, not customer service.
• No proof. A real travel company can show you a receipt, an order number and the card you paid with. This caller refuses.
• No company name. The person who answers does not say who you have reached.
• A fee to keep something you never had. The goal is to get your card number for a "renewal."
• Prerecorded sales calls. Under FTC rules, a company cannot send you prerecorded sales calls unless you gave it written permission.

Simple rule: if a caller says you bought something and cannot show you proof, you did not buy it. Hang up.

What to do if this number called you

1. Do not call back. Returning the call only confirms your number is active.
2. Block the number on your phone.
3. Report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Mention the "Nicholas" voicemail and the vacation package claim.
4. If you think you really did buy a trip, check your own card and bank statements, then call the travel company using a number from its official website or your receipt, not this number.

If you already gave a card number or paid

1. Call your card company or bank right away using the number on the back of your card. Ask them to stop or dispute the charge and to watch the account.
2. Write down the date, time, amount and anything the caller told you.
3. Report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
4. If you are 60 or older, or helping a parent, you can call the National Elder Fraud Hotline free at 1-833-372-8311.

Watch for a second call. People who lose money are often contacted again by someone offering to get it back for a fee. That is a recovery scam. Real help from your bank or the FTC never charges you.

Common questions Who is calling me from 877-297-4711?

Reports describe a caller named "Nicholas" claiming you bought a vacation package. No verified company has been tied to the number, and caller ID can be faked.

No. Calling back confirms your number is active and puts you on the phone with someone asking for payment.

What if I really did buy a vacation package?

Check your own statements, then call the company using the number on your receipt or its official website, not a number from a voicemail.
