Victim Location 10919
Type of a scam Travel/Vacations
Recieved a letter informing me I won 1 of 4 prizes. A 1500 Ford pickup,2,5 or 7 day cruise vacation, 70" LED T.V.or an apple iPad. Also after I contacted them,recieved a call that I also would get a 100.00 Walmart gift card.
At the Ramade Inn in Fishkill,N.Y. the price of buying into a supposed license to book timeshares,hotels airfares,car rentals at super reduced price. The initial price for the so called special licence started at 11,000.00 and swiftly was lowered to 4900.00.
A promise was made of them booking a vacation stay anywhere I wanted to prove their legitimacy. At the end of the prsentation,I had a spot picked but the agent insisted I had to pay for the so called license first.
This made me suspicious. I took their 100.00 gift call and did not buy into their company. I went to Walmart and the gift card was only good for 5.00.
Their were about 8 families there and a couple did buy into their scheme. I believe 1 group may have been a plant as a super reduction in price was offered to the first person interested . It was reduced 2000.00.
There were 2 other couples who I believe bought into it but I not sure.
Although I didn’t purchase anything there was no mention of who won the grand prizes.
They also had an agent who was going to sell my timeshare.
