[Viking 0]

So i am sitting here this morning not feeling to good (i ate at a new place and its not hitting me to well) and my phone rings. Well its this lady telling me i won some drawing that i entered when i was wondering around the mall!! I won Four free vacations to anywhere in the Lower 48!!! I have to drive up to Anaheim on the 25 and claim my prize. Only thing is that to qualify for the trips i have to show up with a girlfriend and make them beleive we make 50k a year combined income...... I will have more info as it comes in.

So got any ideas of where i should go?

Sounds like some sort of a scam to me too. Viking, what girl are you gonna take with you? I bet if it is for real that would be a good way to get laid. Just looking out for you my friend!

[Viking 0]

Oh trust me i am taking this whole thing with a HUGE grain of salt. But i am also excited at the same time. I remember signing up for this at the mall too so its not like it came out of nowhere. So no i am not sure if its a scam or not but we will find out on the friday after next!

Sure. I won't make it down there either. Hopefully tomorrow, but doubtful. I went on a trip similar to the one you are talking about. Give me a call if you are interested in my take on it.

i wanted to tell you about the time i fell for something like that. they called me and said you won our drawing we had set up in the mall and you have the choice of trips to hawaii, puerto rico, or cancun. all you have to do is come to this hotel and listen to a 1 hour pitch for our product. i said sounds good so i went. ended up being almost 3 hours and the coupons they gave me were for 3 nights in one of those cities - thats it. you have to get there on your own and pay for all your food and what ever else you want to do. not even great hotels more like motels. anyway maybe yours will be diffrent sounds good (too good)

Viking, having worked for Marriott in Sales and doing the things they sent you you are wasting your time and energy. You do not fit their prerequisites and you will not get anything. It is a waste of your time.

probly right nothing is ever free

isn't it kinda illegal to sell 'raffle tickets' and then it not actually be a raffel just some sales pitch crap?

[Luna 0]

Nope, I've done a few of these myself and there's no way you will get money out of them. The pitch is for a Time Share property, which in itself is somewhat of a scam. It is also very expensive (read $15,000-$30,000), and the pitch is a very hard sell. Very high pressure. Expect to be there every bit of 3 hours. Furthermore, some of these things where you get the free hotel stays (they aren't vacations, just the hotel) require you to attend another sales pitch for every one you use. And, after reading your fine print, I'm guessing this will be the case (the $100 refundable deposit as well as the $50 credit for each "vacation" you take is a giveaway, you won't get your money back or your $50 until after the presentation). While some of these things are worthwhile, this one doesn't sound to be. I'd skip it if I were you.

And another bit of advice to everyone, don't ever fill out those sweepstakes entries at the malls or the little boxes you find at Subway's for the free trips, etc. Most of them are for the time shares (everyone "wins"), and if you read the fine print before filling it out you will find that out. But some are worse...I fell for one that, if I had read the fine print I would have known, switched my long distance carrier to one with a huge monthly fee whether I used it or not. I had to hassle with the phone company to get them to waive the charges and get me switched back. It was a pain. So, be sure to read ALL of the fine print on those sweepstakes entries before filling them out. Most are too good to be true!

Don't do it, Viking. The stuff you have to sit through is a very hard sell, and it is totally not worth it. You can't just get up and leave, because of course you want your "gift". And, when you tell them you can't afford it, then they just bring in other guys to the table to work on you. Plus, with whatever gift they do give you, there are going to be so many restirctions on it in small print, that it is practically useless. Trust me, it's painful, don't do it.

The address you posted is right around the corner from my house. You want me to do ya a little recon and give you a heads up before you come all the way up here?

[Stacy 0]

[NtheSeaOrSky 0]

Heh,
Well, honestly, just judging by the subject line,
I thought you did get some!
