Received call 8/16/07 in Woodinville, WA. Very poor connection. Man calling himself "Angel" (?) with strong South Asian accent said I was eligible for 1 of 2 gifts, either (1) 5 days/4 nights hotel w/airfare to any major city in U.S. Or (2) 7 days/6 nights Royal Carribean Cruise out of Miami, w/airfare. Claimed to represent Hilton Hotel/Ramada Inn. Asked me to attend a buffet for 25-30 people to receive gift; would not confirm this would be a sales pitch. Stated guaranteed to win a prize. He wanted to validate address, income (was incorrect), and probe marital status, and wanted me to produce 2 forms of ID (specifying driver's license) at the address below. Gave me a confirmation number for claiming the prize.

I actually did attempt to attend the meeting out of pure curiosity (alone, which I realize now was very reckless), but fortunately could not find the building with the incomplete info he gave me. It does conform, however, to that above: 1450 114th Ave SE, Suite 205, Bellefield Office Park, Conifer Building.in Bellevue, WA. I pressed caller repeatedly with questions (no purchase necessary, "gift" guaranteed, etc., etc.), requested callback # and was given 202-552-1557. I spoke to "Garcia" at the "National Gifting Center, " and he stated they represented GEO Holiday Group (their "sponsor"). Other sights have indicated that this address is associated with Starlight Resort Group (see http://800notes.com/Phone. Aspx/1-202-552-1557#p9GCBUnb60wCCLgjJsPKQfA). Today, 8/18, was called and asked why I did not show on 8/17, Full court press. I have placed an initial fraud alert with the 3 credit bureaus.
