HGV sold my data?
This is a weird post. But I want to come here to share my story and ask if they have done this to others.
Soooo to begin I called in to book a free night stay I had with Hilton. Was transferred to sales and was sped talked into the package (getting some of my personal information wrong which will come in later). However some extra fees were not informed to me at the time. After months of saying my intentions and dates I wanted to multiple agents. I was finally informed there’s an extra seasonal fee and a suite fee. I canceled my stay. I told them as such. Queue about a few months of back and forth and a BBB complaint (every step of the way they kept saying that the package was there if I wanted to book still) but I insisted I didn’t. Finally they issued me a refund.
Now fast forward a few months after getting my refund and I’m now getting calls from people claiming I have an unclaimed package that’s expired worth around 1200 dollars and they would like to help me book it. I explained to them I’m not interested in traveling. And I do not know what package they speak off (my Hilton package is the only one I ever got in my life, and it was early early 2026 this year.). They then proceed to claim the package was from 2022. Their supposed package purchase has the exact same errors Hilton grand vacation had. Including a unique major error in my name. (Think instead of smith, they had it as shith or something similar). They also claim I purchased the package with an email I didn’t make until 2025 (same email I used for Hilton grand vacation, and besides utilities, only HGV was used on this email). When asked they claim the account was updated with the email in March of 2025, which once again. Email wasn’t even made until later of 2025.
This is honestly an insane prospect to me that I canceled my stay and they just sell my package to the highest bidder. So I’m trying to figure out if others have had similar experiences and I’m not crazy.
