I called after having "Got the trip" from a convention where I did indeed enter the contest. It was advertised as a Disney Fl Dream vacation and round trip cruise to the bahamas for 4 people.It was a man named Brian Egan who was a promotional director. He sent me to the following website: http://www.tnationusa.com where TJ021315014 was the login and 12345 was the password. Here is the info for that site:

He said there would be an 8% gift tax which totaled $398, which he later lowered to 198 when I told him I was a single mom. (They offer as a gift vice a win to get around tax laws legally.) Here is what that gets you:
5 days/4 nights in Orlando at either Raddisson Parkside near Disney or Ramada Plaza near Universal. It is for 2 theme passes for a SINGLE day. Then 3 days and 3 nights at Marriott Beach in Daytona. There is an up to 90 minute "resort tour" and 10-30 minute "orientation" which is mandatory where they attempt to sell you a 10 year pass of some kind to the resort. He recommended I look for $79 SW rount trip to Orlando deals because they cannot give away air flights because of laws related to homeland security.
So, IF you are looking to go for a nice resort, but not really looking for the theme parks, and if you can live through 90 minutes of some kind of hard sell, this might work for you for $400. (I did not ask whether food was included, but day spa etc was).
He said 4 people, but at the end said something about two twin beds, a couch (and maybe there was a roll out?).
This is not the vacation I want for my family, and I don't like to charge things. I told him (while I was still mulling over the possibilities) that I had only started thinking about next summer's vacation yesterday (true statement). He wanted me to pay up front. I told him I would need time. "How much time would you need?" Did I mention I don't like being pressured? I told him I suspected he wouldn't give me a few months and he almost curtly agreed. Then I told him I don't think this works for my family. He thanked me for my time, told me to have a nice night and just before I hung up, I heard him say "Wow!" (probably to a coworker) He was clearly not happy with not getting the sale. Total phone time 22 minutes.
This is a call from a Florida " Resort" We had entered to win a Free trip at a Summer camp show and we were led to believe we won but caller was INSISTANT on getting our CC # when he called. TOTAL SCAM !! Be Careful !!
Called me saying I entered in to win a trip and I won a trip to Disney land resort and had a year and a half to use my tickets. Ended up wanting me to pay $498.00 up front with a visa or discover card. SCAM BIG TIME
This company called me as a result of a "raffle" that took place at an event in a local town. They led me to believe they were part of the event and told me I had won a "free vacation package worth over $3k". The representative on the phone promised several things to be included in the package (3 tickets to Disney for 3 days, 4 star resort, etc.) which after researching the company, did not turn out to be true. BEWARE of this number and several other numbers with the same scenario as they seem to be changing their number to avoid being detected!
