Number just called telling us we just won a weekend getaway. Insisted on being on speaker phone to talk to my husband too. Advised he called a landline & didn't know how. Said that is company policy. Asked if we had to fly. He got snappy & said it doesn't seem as though we leave our state at all & we would not benefit from this trip. I told him I was asking general questions. He continued with the attitude & I told him not to call us again. We don't want his " FREE" trip!

We supposedly won this trip when we entered at Coyote ugly. It sounded all good until he talked about claiming the winnings in our taxes and to keep from having 1400 taken out our taxes we could pay an up front fee of 398. When I told him I don't have it he said I could pay in increments. I asked why I couldn't claim it during taxes he said he was doing us a favor. Btw he gradually asked me my information off my debit card when he finally asked for my 16 numbers I knew it was bs.
Its ILLEGAL to ask for money to receive it.
