My boyfriend and his family went to a local festival over the weekend where they each entered their own names, as well as mine in a draw for a free florida/bahamas cruise. I was contacted by phone and read this really long and exciting script about how i had entered my name and won this amazing trip. The trip was 4 days in Orlando, with a VIP pass to Universal Studios, it also came with a free rental car. I would then get to go on a two night cruise to the Nassa. I couldn't believe my luck when they said that the trip came with a 4 night 3 day trip to Puerto Vallarta, and a 3 night 2 day trip to Las Vegas. She then told me that i would need to hold the tickets by putting down 299$ on my credit card. I got a strange feeling and asked her to call back as i neede to call my bank. My bank told me the company is a scam, and that i should NOT book on my credit card. While i was on the phone with my bank, i got a call on the other line asking for my boyfriend from the same company! This is what sold me that the company is a SCAM. How could both of us have been chosen out of "thousands of people" as their speech reads.
When the nice sales lady called back, i told her that my bank had advised me of her companies standing and that i would not like to take part in their scam. Not more than five minutes later, my cell phone was ringing. It was the sales lady telling me that what my bank had told me was not the truth. She then said that even though i had rejected their offer for this amazing trip, i would still be able to have free cruise tickets if i was ever in the florida area. ON MY CELL PHONE!
This company is a SCAM... And i have to admit i was really excited! It was totally possible that you could win something you entered at a local festival, so i had a little bit of hope, so i can understand the people who fall for it. DON'T FALL FOR THIS SCAM!
