about the same as the other messages posted. Got a call on my cell phone couldn't hear anybody so called back on the house phone. I was told it couldn't be completed as dialed.
I got a call from them yesterday, same thing, Indian woman with a very heavy accent calling from Buffalo. I entered a contest at a "mall". I asked her "what mall" and she just started listing big box stores, none of which I had been to. Then she started asking me questions like "is it you and your partner, then?" and "how often do you travel", etc. All I really said during the call was "Why?" and "No." Then I hung up. She said the company name began with a "G" " but I didn't even bother to write it down.
My story is similar to some of the other posts here. The woman was difficult to understand since she had a very thick accent. She claimed that I had entered into a contest at a grocery store or mall last Christmas. When I pointed out that I hadn't done that, she said I had probably just forgotten that I had. She was calling so I could claim my prize and I told her I wasn't interested. She asked me if there was something making me feel uncomfortable lol.
I got the first call about 30 minutes ago. The second call from the "manager" came in 20 minutes later. He gave me an address of where to claim my "prize." He kept asking me to confirm a meeting time for my claim, I said I'd get back to him and asked for his direct number. (he gave me a number) Before we hung up, he said "I didn't get your name." to which I replied "do you not have it on the card I supposedly filled out?" He began rambling about the trip, so I hung up.
I then called the location of where he said I can claim my prize. It was a hotel, and they confirmed that Grand Travel World Wide has reserved a room from 2:00 - 10:00 today. Basically, its where you go listen to their shpeel about their company.
I called the number back, the person said the company was world wide travel. I was transferred to the extension given. Apparently, the person I spoke with previously left for the day.
I didn't give any personal information, and really didn't answer their questions. Seems like they are just trying to market their seminar.
