I was on my way out the door when the phone rang... I usually do not answer the house phone because I live with my parents and do not take personal calls on their phone line. However, I answered it because I knew they were away and I was managing the household. I spoke with Michael Portman [Employee# ST588 / He does not work on Saturday: probably because he loves to go on vacations]
I was told my father entered a sweepstakes vacation offer @ a car show that he recently attended. I knew that for my father to do something like this would be out of his character and was mystified as to the "How, Where, and Why would he..?" It was approx: 8:15pm and the man on the phone told me I had until 9:00pm to confirm this offer. I told him that I would not be able to do so because my father was on vacation in Aurba and it would be an expensive phone call to confirm his potential interest. So Mr. Portman proceeded to tell me not to worry because I can make all the booking decisions via. my credit card. He then gave me the pick 1 of the 4 Star hotels offer, with free parking passes and concerts included. I would just need to have 4 travelers. I told him that I don't even think I have 3 friends to accompany me. So now he realizes my loner status and proceeds to tell me that after I book the Orlando trip I can go on another trip for 2 to the city of my choice.. yada, yada, yada, deposit required etc... And if I go thru with the 1st & 2nd trip then I can resell a cruise ship for 4 people at the cost of my choice !
So @ first I got suckered in, gave him my credit card info... He then transferred me to a Cust. Service Rep. and he did tell me that the Recipt # is non-returnable.
So it was @ the point when I got transferred to the Cust. Service Rep. when Red-Flags went up in my head because he Psychologically transferred an agreement onto another party = witness of verbal contract agreement. So the Cust. Service Lady then asked me 1 more time are you sure about your decision for this trip? I then replied actually I have now decided against the agreement and want out. So she got snotty and transferred me back to Mr. Portman...
Mr. Portman was pissed and demanded to know why I wanted out. So I told him that I'm a poor, starving college student who has little friends and no job. I then suggested that he pay me $50, 000.00 to go to Orlando for job training. Then there was a dial-Tone...
So I called the bank the next day and expressed my concerns. Then 3 days later I physically went down to my bank {mind you, my car does not go in reverse because my transmission is shot so I had to park in a manner in which I would not have to back up, turns out I ended up getting stuck in a snow bank, but I didn't care about my car I did not want this company to WIN THE RACE TO MY DISGRACE !
PROBLEM SOLVED, I WON!!!
PS( I contacted Blue Green Resorts (Http://www.ggbluesuedecruise.com) Web Server Whois Registar: Wild West Domains and warned them that they are hosting a potential client whom is involved in Sweepstakes Scams... The man on the phone said he would send a memo to the legal department.
However, who knows maybe the Server is Serving itself under Wild West Domains and Hosts themselves under the name of Blue Green Resorts. SCARY THOUGHT :-(
