LMAO... "your"

Blocked # calls me every couple of months telling me that there is an outstanding invoice for advertising with there company and how would i be able to pay today bank wire or credit card. I laughed at them cursed they guy out and told him usually if you owe money for that long its forwarded to a creditor so i asked the guy who was the collection agency handling this bill on behalf of there company he said no one they are collecting the debt .

He was insisting that i give me him my credit card number. I asked for his tax i d number to verify the existence of their company then he hung up on me.

Alot of scammers these days watch out people . Some people in this country dont make an honest day living

instead the leech on innocent people robbing them .

Yes, be careful out there and dont ever give out any personal or financial information.

I received a letter stating that I was awarded a 2-round trip airline tickets worth $1,375.00. The letter has my maiden name on it, which I had changed nearly 14 years ago, so that was my first red flag.

Then, the letter gives you a deadline date of October 16, 2014.

It reads:

Dear Michelle,

I am pleased to inform you that you have qualified for an award of 2-round trip airline tickets. Congratulations! These tickets are valid for travel anywhere in the continental U.S.

from any major international airport. The retail value of this award is up to $1,375.00. Certain restrictions apply.

We have attempted contacting you several times (no they haven't 2nd red flag) without success.

This is our final attempt. If we do not hear from you soon, we may need to issue the ticket vouchers to the alternate.

Please call me today at 1-87*-***-****. Regards, Angela Berry Customer Realations Manager The US Airlines logo at the top of the letter wasn't even in color, its obvious it was a mass copy.

Total scam, DO NOT fall for this and continue to report these idiots.

What a bunch of losers these people are. I received offer today 10-14-14 from Joanne foster.

$1375 "valid for travel anywhere in the continental US from any major international airport".

All the usual telltale scam signs: final offer, we've contacted you several time, etc. since I'm not calling they can feel free to "issue the ticket vouchers to the alternate".

I got a letter for two free tickets today signed by a vice president and they said all I had to do is go to the office where I knew they were obviously going to make some kind of pitch. If you've eve been to Vegas this promotion is nothing new at all. They have them staged all over Vegas even in the casinos. Each time they are selling a time share or vacation club of sorts and they are very nice unfortunately about a quarter of what your membership costs or more is going to the give always.

In Vegas we burned up a half and got $100 cash money each some chips and a bunch of discounted shows at the best places in town. If had more time would have gone a day early and gone to a whole bunch of them! Here's how you save a lot of time: There are layers of sales soft, medium, and hard closers and they pass on notes from each presentation to the next one you meet. So you carry a letter from the IRS to you stating you owe a huge amount of money to them with interest. You can get logos and such off the IRS sight by clicking copy then paste them on the letter to make it look official. The letter takes a few moments and saves you an hour plus you get everything they are giving away.

Condos and time shares and vacation clubs give away millions doing this. Now for your closing: The first sales makes the presentation and you play along but when the cost starts coming up in the conversation you start talking about bankruptcy and "Can I still purchase if I am bankrupt?" You start to explain your folded up letter sill stuffed somewhere and they go for the 2nd or 3rd higher sales person. They are going to ask about your bankruptcy and you are going to drop the bomb a show stopper… you are in BIG trouble with the IRS and you were carrying around this well folded up letter stuffed in you pocket from the IRS! You get a quick "Thank you please give this to the counter and get your gifts". And a shuttle which took you to the vacation property picks you up and your back on the strip in half our with cash.

I wish I could say I made up this scam-the-scammer plot but I really did have a real IRS problem and a letter the first time I went on one of these sales promotions and I really did bring it up and left the others there as I skated out. On the shuttle back to the strip I met a fellow who was on his third trip for free stuff and I shared my story! This guy was flat broke on his third Vegas trip staying free with free shows, cash and meal tickets! He loves the idea and will be coming back next time with it!

We saw some great shows gambled 5 bucks and had a blast. Now this airline "scam" is NOT truly a scam unless they are stealing from you, selling your information, or giving you absolutely nothing for taking their pitch to sell you something. I have told you how to make it very brief! That IRS letter, they won't even read, or keep, is like a stink bomb in a small room and they be moving you on quickly! Anytime they ask to see a credit card and Id then they are selling something that you can charge.

The only thing you need to know is whether what they offer is worth your time. Some have said they went through this and got real tickets after paying the tax and small ticket print fee of a total of about $55 dollars out of pocket. They were happy! I am sure the man I met in Vegas on the shuttle from the time share promotion who does this all the time would jump at this one! He is broke and they can't take a dime if they tried. His credit card is the kind you pay in advance like a security deposit so the limit is like $500. My wife’s 300k IRS problem was resolved and I don’t recommend forgery so make sure your phony IRS letter is as vague as this promotion letter we all got in the mail!

I received one from VP Amy Reed and the contact # is 866-955-****.

They aren't stealing they are sending you through a gauntlet to push a promotion which is given them by the travel industry partners to get you booked in their hotels and spending money! There is no way that you've won something and they are very careful to say you "qualified"...

by being able to read the letter, make a phone call, and show up to hear a sales pitch! And you have a credit card but they don't need the numbers because they arn't stealing they are inticing you to purchase. The cost of your purchase includes, collectively, the cost of your award plus the resorts are paying most of the "Award"! Some people hate being sold and will call this a scam.

Some get free stuff this way all the time and are fine! They sue the real scammers and get even more.

I saw two people get free cars! One for a false advertizement and the other had the contests scammer jailed and the court awarded the grand prize, a car for pressing charges to the person who stood up.

Got one yesterday, dated 10/29/12 and signed by Jamie Cape, Vice President, at 866-673-****. Apparently, they've also been burning up my phone line "several times with no successs". Mine's also worth $1298.

Go to Vegas sometime! They do this all over town only you can get cash on the spot in some cases and free hotels food and great shows.

This is a resort funded program and the travel company has these vouchers to get you to listen for an hour. Some people buy packages and they don't rob them they simply make enough to cover the vouchers and a profit too. If they make you jump some hoops and you get wore down you won't go through with it and they still got the chance to sell you something! Did you ever wonder how many millions and millions of product rebates Never get turned in?

Some are easy to claim some not so easy. If you do go all the way to the place to collect and you pay the federal travel tax on the tickets you'll get them. They probably not refundable, Limited on dates, and bought in bulk by some resorts they want to steer you to.

Make sure you have show stopping financial problem to reveal when you have heard enough of the pitch! IRS problem, Bankruptsy looming or something that makes them think you can't pay for any resort vacation.

I got the same letter as everyone else. Their new number is (866) 601-**** if anyone wishes to call.

Crying over spilled water?its an accident.get over it

Okay as I stated clearly above. There were several excuses that were used, Weather was only one of them if you re-read what I have written then I am sure you can see the frustrating occurrence we encountered.

Regardless of your opinion on my issue which you have every right to state. I will respectfully decline to have you call me a liar or refer to me as one.

I do hope that the next time someone gives three different issues of why your trip is not going as planned remember to eat your own words, Memorize that contract and embrace that 19 hour stay at the airport with the rude agents telling you to enjoy your chairs with your children. You can focus on weather all you want but that wasnt the issue just again an excuse.

~Regards.
