Yes, same as most. Entered a "drawing" at a pet expo that made zero mention about a time share. Found the old ticket stub in my wallet and checked... hey I am a winner.... just have to call to get the prize. Then found the sad truth, just another scam sales pitch. I won the right to have something pan handled to me... no thanks.
Yo...Imma ICP for Vacation Village Resorts....For those that dont know what that is, its the Initial Contact Person aka the guy who calls you a thousand times until you pick up the phone. Imma a very honest man, so to avoid all of the bs, Im gonna break it down to you...Tho I dont agree with how the company is ran internally, it is actually legit and not a scam.
You filled out an entry form...I call you...
IF you answer:
I inform you that your entry form was one of our many selections (and we dont select EVERYONES entry, you have to qualify). I give you 3days and 2nights in da berkshires complimentary...your only obligation is to attend a 90 minute "courtesy tour of the resort"....you dont have to purchase or join anything. We are not allowed to say you "won" (because many were selected) and we cannot say its "free".JUST AS THE BACK OF YOUR ENTRY FORM STATED, your out of pocket expenses are food and transportation.IF the travel coordinator finds a date that is convenient for you, they take a guaranteed arrival deposit of $75(which is refunded upon completion of da tour). Now, we dont keep credit card info, so thatll be refunded on a visa gift card....My job as an ICP is to inform you of this and get you transferred to a travel coordinator....if you are LEGALLY married, then i would have to get both spouses on the line to speak to the travel coordinator at the same time ...being that we are registered with the better business bureau, this is LEGALLY required....so dont be a dick when we want you both on the line....once your both on the line, i recap with the both of you and transfer you to the travel coordinator....if you are single, i transfer u to my manager (who verifies i didnt promise you a million dollars) and the he/she transfers you to the travel coordinator............Now the travel coordinator goes over the amenities and things the resort has to offer....after that, they go over dates....now...there are 2 packages.....PACKAGE 1: you schedule your 3 days/2 nights within the next 6 weeks....PACKAGE 2: you schedule one day,within the next 6 weeks, to take the tour.After the tour, you recieve a voucher for 3 days/2 nights to come back whenever you like within the next 12 months(YOU MUST CALL A MONTH BEFORE COMING).....Now with both packages, you recieve your $75 back after the tour....And it accomodates up to four(no pets).... Now the travel coordinator has what they call "star dates"...if you can come out on a star date, you can receive additional gifts : up to an extra $125 on ya visa gift card ...and a 4 day/3 night stay at one of our sister resorts (williamsburg,massanutten,orlando,las vegas & more) of your choice....ALSO, depending on where you filled it out, you ALSO recieve a gift card to THAT venue (mcdonalds,chillis,etc).....so if you land on a star date, you get 2 vacation getaways, gift card to venue, & up to $200 on your visa gift card (your $75 deposit + up to $125 gift money)......cant beat it.......so once u get a date, the travel coordinator transfers you to the credit manager (on a secure credit line) who takes your deposit on a visa,discover, or mastercard....no american express....WHY?...because the credit manager gives you a 6 digit confirmation number that cannot be obtained through american express.....the $75 deposit is put on the visa gift card because we cannot keep your credit card information.....duh! the credit manager explains the reschedule policy and gives you the conifirmation code...you then recieve a email confirmation and then a physical confirmation/welcome package....And boom! Make sure you show up.
IF you DONT answer:
I will keep continuously callin your [***] for the next 7 days....company policy!
Legal and Legit. And i just have a question... How smart is it to put your information on a piece of paper without even reading it? You shouldnt lash out at a companys reputation just because you were being dumb...thats..well...dumb! I mean sure, i have my own personal reasons for hating the company, but it has nothing to do with its legitimacy.....Be a responsible adult when it comes to filling out entry forms or dont do it at all.....And pay attention when someone is explaining something to you instead of just saying "ok" to make the call go quicker....be smart...not dumb....!
First you trick people into singing up for something that you falsely make them think has potential value, like some "contest", when in fact it's nothing but a trick to get their phone number so you can harangue them on the phone endlessly. Wait, you say they signed up for THAT? HELL NO. Nobody would voluntarily sign up for that. YOU TRICKED THEM.
Then you have the nerve to lecture your victims on this site about how stupid they are that they let you TRICK THEM?
There's a boiler room in HELL waiting for slime like you, too bad you won't get there soon enough!
I gOt a phone call saying we won one of 3 major prize. She said he need to be divorce cause the wife and I r separated aNd there saying I won a car vacation or 20 000 dollars sunday I have to be in va by 3pm at the resort its a scam
I haven't even gotten a call from you but if I do I'll make sure to hang up. You seem like a total [***] and cursing back at others shows your poor quality as a "company". Very unprofessional and immature.
