Vacation Network Inc Waste of time. A true scam. Lied about winning prizes. When confronted we were hung up on. Ripoff Sandy Springs Georgia
We got a phone call saying that we had won 25,000 or a ford explorer or a all expense paid vacation. When we asked if there were any obligations or strings attached , we were told that all we had to do was come in and claim our prize. We were told that we couldnt bring our daughter. When I figured out that this was indeed a scam we called and confronted the company. We asked how they got our phone number. They said is was from a prize drawing. And we told them that we knew what they were all about and they got very nasty and hung up on us.

WHERE'S THE SCAM? BACK UP THE COMPLAINT

This complaint is too vague to understand. Ok, you received a call from a telemarketing company inviting you to attend a 60 minute sales presentation, in return you would receive a promotinal gift. There is/was no purchase necessary (didn't mention that part though). Potential clients are asked not to bring children to the presentation because it is an hour,and children do get restless and fidgit. It is distracting to parents and the sales people.
How did you figure out this is a scam, by being asked not to bring your daughter? As far as obtaining your phone number, phone numbers can be obtained in too many ways to count. Maybe one of you filled out some type of card for a prize and dropped in a box, phone numbers can be obtained on a database. Hundreds of thousands of them. Now a days, it is not difficult to get someone's information.
Bottom line, if you were not interested, if you knew this was some type of scam, you should have just told the telemarketer to remove your name from their call list, and you would never be called again. Vacation Network, Inc. does not practice any type of policy in speaking to a potential client in a nasty or unsavory way, much less would hang up on anyone. Every person who calls our office is considered a potential client.
If you didn't attend the sales presentation, or ask questions about our company(instead of accusing us of being a 'scam'), how do you know we are a scam?
