Hello to everyone who read this mail, and hoply is not riped off bill the company described.
Several (4,5, 6?) months ago i get a message i was the winner of a price, because i was the xxx. Xxx. Xxx. Visitor of a website.
I filled in the data request and send it, no big deal.
I get called on 6-1 by the company and had spoken with a girl / lady on the other side of the phone, and she tells me that i have won a trip to florida, orlando and to the bahama's and a lot more.
I listen to here speach, and when she asked me for my credit card details i told her not to give it by phone.
She said; thats a good thing, i am a creditcard user to, and i also would not give these important information by phone, thats why we are recorded this phone conversation as a "secure" backup for if there are any problems later.
I tell her that i still was not convinced, and she connects me to the general manager of security, his name was ALLAN KING.
He told me THE SAME things as the girl / lady before and asks me for my creditcard details again.
I asked them for a e-mail send to me and a security check of a website, so i can trace the reliability of the one who is asking my creditcard details.
At this point the conversation was getting "hard" an Allan was a bit of angry in his voice, like i don't trusted him.
I told him that if i not can pay by the internet, and via a secure site i wil not pay anything at all with my creditcard.
At this moment i thougt it was a nice offer, even when i payed for it, but my wife, yes she's the one with the brains, told me to asks some more from the company.
They tell you nothing, zero, nada, niets.
In the conversation they tell you with smooth words, that people are dumb if they don't take advantage of there offer, and there was the ringing bel for me.
I told ALLAN to put me of the list from the "WINNERS" and i discards the offer.
The only thing he answers was; so you don't wanne go on a holliday and pay?
I say NO, and he says THANKS. (and hangs up emidiatly)...
Lets call that a "saved by the bell" ;-)
Don't ever give your creditcard details by the phone, it is not secure, and a phone can be tapped.
To all the one's who are not so lucky;
i wish you all the best.
Regards, Edje
