In December I received a few phone calls from All American Advertising indicating that my Business had been selected to recieve a prize. Each time someone called it was someone claiming to have more authority than the previous caller.
To claim my prize I was to pay $398 for 100 Magnets with my company name and contact info. They claimed I would be very impressed by the products. Not so! These are cheap magnets. I can do better online.
And the prize I one seems to be consistent with many of the other complaints listed here. I won an 8 night Florida and Bahamas vacation & Cruise. It has many restrictions and limitations. When I received my order and this prize I knew I had been taken.
But then to add insult to injury. I received a Call from Marie She asked me if I had my Cash code handy. Cash Code? Oh someone was supposed to call me with a code for a drawing I had been entered into. My code was MEGA 31-01-1. According to Marie this was a highly unusual situation in that these numbers would yeild a very large prize of approximately $62,000 over the coming year. But, I would have to place a $2895 order with the company to claim it. I informed her that I couldn't afford to do that. So she said, how about if you pay half now and the rest when you get your first award.
Alarms bells were screaming in my head! I said I'd have to think about it. I immediately went to my computer and searched for scams associated with this company and found many. All with very similar stories. I received a call back a few minutes ago from Marie, letting me know that I could pay $1395 now and then the rest when the first award showed up.
I said no.
Hopefully others will see this and beware.
