i also filled out a form at tattoo convention and got a call from 7182280785 saying i'd won the bahamas trip. they called a couple times from that number and a "private" number. they also asked for a credit card number which i didn't give out. total scam.
ANYONE WHO ATTENDED THE FORT ERIE FRIENDSHIP FESTIVAL AND PUT THEIR NAME IN THE "WIN A 500$ BEST BUY CARD" ballot .. you WILL BE CALLED.
I filled out a form to win a 500$ best buy card and got the call from this guy who got my number from it !!!!!
told me it was for an all expense paid trip to the bahamas, luxury cruise and to vegas for $299/person !
then wanted the # to my major credit card which i had to obviously lie and say i didn't have on me !!!
the caller insured me it was fine, because he somehow got my name, number, birthday and information from this ballot ! WHICH IS COMPLETE BOGUS !!
i was sent to www.bahamascelebration.com for contest information !
i called the actual company to see what is going on here and left a message !
especially since the guy said he's in florida and the number is from NEW YORK !
also asked me how far away from the border I was! which is not important whatsoever !
I'm also filing a complaint with the festival, as this should not be happening .
I don't agree with 3rd parties having all my information without my knowledge
I, too, just received a call from this number - they said I won a cruise from Orlando, FL, to the Bahamas, gave me all kinds of details on the trip and that I only had to pay $299 for everything. I filled out a ballot at the Jerk Food Festival in Etobicoke, and they had all the information that I filled out. Of course, they wanted my credit card information, which I didn't give out. They said they'll give me some time to think it through and will call back tomorrow... I'll know not to answer this number!
The website they gave me was www.bahamascelebration.com
