I'm going to a scam today, lol

I got THIS letter in the mail a few days ago. then i got THIS blue letter yesterday. if i didn't call in 72 hrs, I'D LOSE MY PRIZE! OMGNOWAY!

So i decided to call the number. fuck, its my day off, i'm kinda bored, and i want to see how far i can get into this shit. I couldn't talk to sandra or kim, they were both in a meeting. *SHOCKING* . so i talked with Kevin instead. and he goes on about everything the letter says...blhablhablha, "i'll even give you a $40 gift card and a voucher for $40 in gas!"

luckily, he was scheduling appointments today. HOW LUCKY AM I!?!? so i've got one at 12:30pm.

i'm totally documenting everything, so in the event that i end up missing, people will know where i am, lol.

here's the directions too:

go here if i'm missing in a few days


--------------

Got the letter a few days ago....then the blue postcard. i called (sandra and kim were in a meeting, lol). talked to Kevin Pool...this is about the place near Tyler,TX (which, it's actually in Flint, TX...near Lake Palastine according to google maps). i scheduled an appointment. got the ring around for the whole "YOU WON A PRIZE!" deal. car/cash/shopping spree. same shit everyone above has posted.

i have decided to go through with this and attend thier high-stress sales pitch for time share. i'm still curious as to how they're going to prove my income is over $40,000. lol. (and if they run a credit check w/ out my permission, i'm totally going to tell the legal office on base, lol)

anyways, i asked the guy (Kevin Pool) how many of the prices have been given away...because on the fine print, it said, "contest is only oen until X number of X Prizes given away"...and he said he didn't know, but 7 cars were given away last year. his attempt to transfer me to the customer service line failed and ended in a disconnected call.

upon calling CS back, and speaking to two diff people, they gave me directions. i google mapped it - and yeah, its on a little lake in eastern texas. they have other sites in New Braunfels (Canyon Lake), and some place in Massachusettes.

apparently they're going to give me a $40 gift card for gas, and another $40 vis gift card for lunch.

my appt is scheduled for 12:30pm. this is going to be interesting--as i�m not going to actually buy into it, i�m curious if i�m going to even get the $40 gas card. this should be epic lulz

Will,

If you stand up and interrupt right in the middle of this shit and proceed with one of your classic TA Videos on How to Mix Drink X, I'll vote TB for life!

Did you ever see the 'how to catch a predator' guy.. do the 'how to catch an internet scam?' .. he had to fly to london and deal with with ppl who need money first in order to get much more!

You should be like ' Hi, I'm Chris Hanson... [have ur friends pop out with cameras]

omg.. that would kick so much ass!

and, yeah w/ the internet scam, "omg you've gotten 23423423 million from some dude in africa who's your long lost relative, OMGONOWAY!" -- that was awesome!

Make sure to continually interrupt the presentation (because you know there's gonna be a presentation) and ask a lot of annoying questions about the prize.

"How big is the prize?"

"Does the prize come with a warantee?"

"How will I explain the prize to my family and friends?"


Etc., etc.

2hr drive each way!??

this sounds like an ubar scam and i suggest you ask them directly that "how is this not a scam?"

IT COULD EVEN BE A BOAT!

"When will I receive the prize?"

"What if the prize doesn't fit in my car?"

"How often should I feed the prize, provided it is alive, and what kind of food does it eat?"

"Will I need to insure the prize?"

ok kids, i'm off. i don't wanna be late and miss my prize.

again, if i'm not around in the next couple of days, seriously, call the authorities!!

Don't forget to ask about the prize!!!!

Its not a scam. The prize part is sort of a scam, obviously I'm sure he wont be "lucky" enough to be the winner, but they will give you the two gift cards. In return for the gift cards you will sit though a 3+ hour marathon presentation on the timeshare with the absolute worst high pressure sales tacticts that make the sleaziest used car salesman look like a saint. You will have to say no at least 30 times and listen to your salesman, his manager, the resort sales manager give you increasingly higher pressure sales pitches.

So if they bring in 500 people today and give them each $80 bucks and in the process get just 25 morons to fall for their shit and plunk down $15,000 on a shitty timeshare in some shit town in Texas they are still coming out way ahead.

good luck, hopefully we will see you soon
