Has anybody received a post card from AVC Claims Center in Texas saying that you have won a guaranteed prize?

Question

The post card claims that i have won one of four guaranted prizes, a Mercedes Benz M-Class, BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, or $40,000 cash, a $1500 shopping spree, Exotic Island Adventure, $806 value or $500 cash. Is this real?

Answer 1

It's probably an ad for a timeshare. Everyone wins, for example, the "Adventure, $806 value." You will be "invited" to come to the resort for 2-3 days if you agree to sit through a 3-hour presentation. This will be high-pressure sales to get you to buy a timeshare.

When we were poor, we used to go to these about once every 2-3 years as a free vacation, and we simply said NO to their pressure.
