Does anyone have any information on this:
My wife filled out drawing entry form for a new SUV.
Some 1-800 number guy called me and told me that our entry form was chosen and to attend a 90 minute speel. After the speel, I would be given a scratch-ticket, which would reveal whether or not I won the SUV or another prize ( Cash prize, Flat Screen TV, or a Cruise) .
The guy on the phone kept asking me how much my income level was. He told me he needed to be sure we could afford the tax on the new SUV. Also, I had to pick a specific time to show up to the place where I had to listen to the speel. I was told not to bring anyone other than my wife, because of limited seating. I didn't bother going to the appointment, it sounded really shaddy to me. I didn't want to wind up being scammed..
SO WHAT DO SOME OF YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?

It might not have really been a scam but it basically misleads.Alot of times when you fill out those cards to win something it is actually a method for salesman to get your name so they can sell you something,it sounds as if you were scheduled to visit a timeshare or something along that line.They pull you in then try to sell you on their product and throw in incentive packages for you to show up.

Scam is the term for your narration. Never reveal any critical information on the phone and internet.
