kross 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2006 Hi, recently some anonomous person called me up saying that I have won some tour package although I don't remember entering any kind of lucky draws recently. He then wanted me to go down to collect the prize and the whole procedure is going to take an hour or so. yet they can't email me the details or stuff when I requested them to do so. All these sounds crappy and like a hoax to me. Do anyone of you have such experience before? Please share them, ya. thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aaron-xp 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2006 Definitely have, though that was many years ago with my parents. They were saying something like "please stay on, or else I'll lose my bonus". Seemed more like "you'd better stay on, or else you'll get into serious trouble around here" Most likely, you'll have to sit through an hour and later become "coaxed" into buying another travel package and maybe even an overseas apartment. Rather save up for better headphones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kehyi 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2006 kenna conned once into attending one of these 'presentations'. 'Never again' is the result. I don't care even if I really have won something, I don't want it. It's not worth 4 hrs of my time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kehyi 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2006 lol...4 hours??!! what did they say?? Just plain old hard-sell. "Best deal ever!", "Buy now and save!", "Special discount for today only!", "Never again will you see a deal so good!", "So many people are buying, if you don't, you will miss out!" and of course, if you try to leave, they'll 'persuade' you to stay... really a waste of time...

Mackie 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2006 This sorta marketing is as old as multi-level-marketing, and still prevalent these days. It's not that the resort aint good but they are usually faraway, eg Australia, and there are many "hidden" clauses which limit your usage even if you can afford to fly often.

Standard DTS and DD with THX enhancement. I dunno if it features DTS-ES or DD-EX or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
