A tax is payable to some government by definition. It would be due after you went on the trip, not before.
The fact that he wanted a credit card and wouldn't give a call back number are huge warning bells.
I have no doubt at all that this was a scam.
That said, I just got back from an actual free trip to Pebble Beach for a week with all expenses (save airfare) paid.
