Prize Giveaway SCAM

 
Prize Giveaway SCAM

Marketing Masters Inc. Apple Blossom Mall:

 

Recently I entered the giveaway in the mall. I was contacted stating I had won. I would be selected to win one of three prizes; 1.) $30,000 towards a vehicle, $ 25,000 cash 2.) 1 year ski and golf resort package or 3.) $500.00 cash. I was told that I would be receiving an orange envelope explaining all the details for claiming my prize and what I had won.

 

When I received the envelope I was informed my husband and I both would have to attend a 90 minute tour of their resort, before we could be told what we had actually won . They were very accommodating that we could only come on a weekend and that they would give us $20 in cash for gas to come there. The representative also mentioned that they were a member of the Better Business Bureau, which they (Marketing Masters) are but the resort they work with Wilderness Presidential is not.

 

I did some research on the internet when I ran across this website and saw that others had been thru the same thing. I immediately canceled the tour and told them to take my name off the list. I wanted to let other people know about this scam, it was reading the compaints that a few people made on this site that made my decision not to be involved in this scam. It if is a true giveaway, then you should be able to claim your prize with no hassles. Marketing Masters is nothing more that a SCAM!!!!!

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Tammy B.
