A man named Will Graham called my business, presumably from a local motel, and very pleasantly described a hotel promotion being granted to local business owners to "get them to try" one of 9 chains of hotels, anywhere in the U.S. Except Las Vegas, at a rate of 4 nights for $99, total. As I was planning an upcoming trip, I was eager to take advantage. (My usual skepticism was subdued, partially because he insisted on coming to my business in person, had a very professional demeanor, had printed materials, and honestly, just hit me at a time I was planning a trip in my head.)
The printed materials, upon further scrutiny, are very unprofessional; his business card lacks basic information such as a phone # to contact him, no website... Just the 888 number I am supposed to call between 10-4 M-F to make my "reservations".
I called the 888-684-2283 within the required time of day for 3 days in a row, leaving my callback number on voice mail. I have not heard anything from them. Meanwhile, I searched online and found numerous reports of this being a scam on various websites, including this one.interestingly, the business owner, William Grembowicz, had actually responded that if the complaining party would simply give an email or phone number, he would be happy to refund their money. Well, Mr. Grembowicz, reply to THIS with a way to contact you for real and I'll gladly recant my complaint with a satisfactory resolution!
BEWARE, Roswell & Alpharetta Georgia business owners!
