    Americans... Is This A Telemarketing Scam ....

    SO I get this automated call to my T-Mobile cell (US, on global roam always - and yes, that costs a fuckload) a week or so back congratulating me on winning a Caribbean holiday.

    I smiled, followed the prompts, and left an Australian cell number for them to call me back.

    Yesterday they did...

    www.calypsocay.com (1800 092 368) AKA www.4vacation.net (1800 638 913)

    Long and short of it...

    6 days / 5 nights at Silver Lake Resort in Orlando FLA, with "VIP" day tickets for 4 to Disneyworld and 7 days car hire with unlimited miles.

    PLUS

    3 days / 2 nights at Plaza Ocean Club in Daytona Beach FLA

    3 days / 2 night Bahama Cruise on Imperial Majesty (ALL inclusive, and this was the "free" part).

    ALL of the above for US$598 for 2 adults and 3 kids.

    So following the long held wisdom of "If it looks/sounds too good to be true it probably is" I am sceptical.

    Thoughts ?

              Cough time share meeting hell cough.

              If you can enjoy a vacation with a nat in your ear the entire time talking and bugging the living hell out of you with hard sales then its a cheap trip.

                      Yeah, figured same, but can cope with that for the price.

                      I'll just walk around with my cock hanging outside of my shorts when the salespeople are around.

                      When they stop selling, I'll stop hanging.

                          Yeah it is, which is the only reason I even ask.

                          Fuckload cheaper than the planned kids trip to Disneyland .. same same for them anyway.

                          Thanks ~

                                              you can deal with it for 45 minutes worth of a sales pitch. when they sit you down after the little tour and bust out the goods, say "OMG!, this is the thing my <insert relative> lets me use for 2 weeks free every year, I'm all set mate"

                                              S and I did that in Cabo our first day in cuz we had nothing planned yet and I thought we would score some free jet ski's and crap like that for the rest of the week. they fed us breakfast, we fast tracked the tour and they were donedealing with me in 10 min with that arguement. We had all access to their grounds and drink tickets so we went into their biz center to jack internet (was down at our place at least for that day), swam in their beautiful pool, drank their booze, amazing beachfront and they gave us $200 or $250 in cash. nice day

                                                      Go to their time share pitch and at the end put on a distraught face and say..

                                                      "I just came here so I could finally get away from the creditors calling my house for a few days - God!

                                                                              If it is a timeshare, get there and sign up for the timeshare right away. I believe you get a two week right of refusal after you sign. So, come home all rested up and cancel it. The salespeople won't be there to ride your ass.

I always hang up once the captain introduces himself. If they are doing it that way there has to be something wrong with them. Especially if we are getting the same message a world apart.
