Same script as 718-228-1153. Caller said my name had been "selected" from ballots collected at an Elvis Festival in Penticton. Only 2% of all entries were being offered this dream vacation - 8 days in FLA, plus 2 day cruise to the Bahamas, for a discounted promotional price. Just had to had over $299 USD up front, 18 months to finalize the bookings. Package incl hotel accom, all meals & entertainment aboard ship, & car rental. Note no air fare, or meals in hotel, or incidentals. Car rental is 7 consecutive days only, altho free cruise occurs mid-way through the itinerary. Oh, and we're resp for the $199 pp port fee to enter Bahamas. But wait, there's more! Sign up now & receive 2 mini hols in LA & PV! All this in exchange for our attendance at an investment presentation during our stay. Ugh. As soon as my partner (yes, he was required to be on the other line) asked about a refund in the event we decide this great deal is not for us, we were told another department would be happy to "discuss" the matter should that unlikely event occur. End of chat.
Got the same call tonight at 9 pm - too late for a phone call like this if you ask me.. said they got the information from a bridal show I did attend but I was only looking for a videographer and only filled out contact cards for that service. Made it sound like I won something in the beginning and then when I said it sounded good then he went into his thing about this being a promotion for his resort and it was $299 per person and that we had to do the timeshare presentation. I don't mind that - I have done the timeshare thing before- just don't like him trying to "hook" me in to thinking I had won something.
