Lady with foreign accent. Many others on phones in background. Offered me a trip or cruise just to have me travel and give feedback. They rely on "word of mouth" sales from satisfied customers such as myself.
Spoke to 2 reps with foreign accent. Telemarketing call center background noise.
Offering free cruise and vacation to Vegas or Caribbean/Mexico.
Asking for us to visit their Burnaby location for 1.5 hour presentation in order to redeem the "free vacation package". They call it a marketing stunt and want word of mouth reviews.
When asked if there are costs involved, she said we have to pay the taxes because they don't cover it?
So basically it's not free because you have to pay.
And once you start paying for the taxes, other hidden fees will start coming in and you'll be marked as a sucker for more of these calls.
This is the typical scam that's been done many times before. It's nothing new. What usually happens is you'll end up paying for everything and your hotel at the destination wouldn't be booked, you'll be left stranded with no return ticket.
