...a cruise for 2 to Bahammas
some company just called me over the phone and told me that i'm going to Bahammas. the guy just asked my first and last name. Then told me just to have my drivers lisence for the onboarding time. (He said its their company and tryin to get the name out so they are giving away these tickets). He also said i'll be contacted in 72 hours to set up a date
He never asked me for my creditcard number or anything(no that i will give it to him over the phone anyway)
but does this sound like BS to you? i just never won anything like that before

How did he get a hold of you? It sounds kind of fishy if you don't remember entering a contest.
Something sounds weird. Was it the "Concrete Shoes Travel Agency"?
Oh, and wrong forum.

^^ Welcome new person! :hi:
I Just Won - NikiterZTS - 02-02-2007
he said the name of the company...didn't catch the name obviosly....
but at first when i picked up the phone it was automated voice "Hey this is your captain blablalbla" and then it went into some quastaning press 1 or 2 if ur male or female and like another 6 or 7 quastions like that
then it went to the operator....who was really quick to hang up.....
i have their call back number and the area code is (231)
(sorry i ment for it to go into "offtopic")
I Just Won - NOS2Go4Me - 02-02-2007
According to Google, that area code is in Michigan. What's the rest of the number?
Something's weird.

You will probably have to sit through a 4 hour sales pitch to buy a timeshare...
I Just Won - Frost__2001 - 02-02-2007
more then likely it's one of those things where you say yes to the trip and then are stuck in some sorta marketing thing to make you buy a time share down there that you'll never use.
My Parents had somethign like that in Collingwood On, when we were living in Nova Scotia at the time, lol my dad said who would want to have something like that in Collingwood when we don't ski.
