Yes, same as most. Entered a "drawing" at a pet expo that made zero mention about a time share. Found the old ticket stub in my wallet and checked... hey I am a winner.... just have to call to get the prize. Then found the sad truth, just another scam sales pitch. I won the right to have something pan handled to me... no thanks.
That's totally false. 1. I've done the whole thing before. And they do tell you about the refund going on a visa gift card, which also includes EXTRA funds which brings me to point 2. Not only is it not stealing, it's actually giving. You get your money plus funds to assist in activities, and if you listen or ask question, you can actually call the number on the back of your card and have the money placed onto your own personal card.
I've done the whole process before, would love to know how it was a scam for you. Definitely the exact opposite for me and the couple who cam along with. I just hate to see companies lied on.
I received the same phone call tonight from the form I filled out at the SGK gunshow in Hampton, VA. Jennifer on the phone was never rude, never pushy, and was very helpful. She answered all of my questions and sounded legit. I did NOT sign up, but am thinking maybe I should have. Doesn't sound like a scam to me. But my finance refuses to attend with me. He thinks it is a scam. The only part I do not like is giving out my credit card over the phone. If that was not a part of this offer, I would have definitelty made my reservation and showed up. But I understand why the company wants it. It pretty much guarentees the person/people don't back out. That is also probably the reason they want your travel companion on the phone. That way everything is confirmed with both parties before one or other other is misillusioned and doesn't show up.
