Unified Services Fraudulent Free Prize and travel offer Ripoff Las Vegas Nevada
I received numerous phone calls from Unified Services claiming that one family from each state was chosen to receive an all expense paid vacation for two to destinations of choice, incl. Las Vegas, Orlando, or Cancun, in addition to a $1,000.00 shopping spree on their website www.freegiftsamerica.com. The prize packet was to be delivered by USPS and the only cost would be $1.95 S & H, which could be paid by check at any time. However, they had to make a record of the check info beforehand, and asked for the bank name, routing number & account number. I adamantly refused to give this information over the telephone, afterwhich ensued a banter of arguments trying to convince me that "there was no possibility that the info could be used to charge add'l monies to my checking account. I finally hung up on the caller, who attempted to call me back several times later. This company and it's offer is obviously a huge fraud!
