Complaint Review: Holiday Vacations Prize Claim Center Vacation Station - Overland Park Kansas

Yep, I got my call today. Bruce from 1-877-880-4246. Same deal. I got a message on my machine saying I won one of 4 prizes. I called up, and Bruce answered, but he had a different name. Apparently, Bruce was busy talking to people who were claiming their prizes. The story has changed a little now. Apparently, Hallmark (the greeting card people) are now in the travel and entertainment industries, and are the ones providing the prizes. They still ask if you're married. I said 'no', and then the guy started asking if I had a girlfriend. It was kind of creepy. He then asked if I was between 35 and 75. I said 'no' again, but he didnt hang up on me like earlier reports. Instead, he asked if I would get my parents to claim the prize for me. This made me suspicious, so I said "I'll ask them." He said to call back in the next 20 minutes, because he was "leaving the office". He said something during the call that made no sense to me. He said their office used to be located in the World Trade Center in NY, and that they had to move the office out to Illinois because of the terrorist attacks. Why this was relevant, I have no Idea. Why would you have your reps tell anyone this?

So I got a Call last night about How I won to call Paul back at the 877 number and I called back from my office this morning. Well when I called it rang and a guy answered "Hello this is prize claim" I answered "yes I had someone leave me a message yesterday" He respnds " what was the mess. about?" I answered " About some entry and a car claim" He replied " Yes how old are you and where are you calling from?" I told him " 23 and Texas" He said " hold on" then hung up on me. So I called back and instead of a guy answering it was music with a recording saying that all reps were busy with other clients and that someone would be with me and that everything is being recorded for my quality assurance. Then someone picked up the line and just did a breathing noise. FREAKS! so I decided to call them over and over for about 5 min. SO what ever as long as they dont call me again.

These clowns are using state records for newly registered corporations to select phone numbers for their scam. My source that monitors web traffic at a corporation search website follows visitor trends when people use the site in patterns that match with information scrapers and i am told it is a suburban illinois IP address that is being forwarded to a states attorney for several corporations that have complained. I'll keep you updated if/when anything comes of it all. presumably there is some electronic communications violation going on.

They've been hounding my cell phone over the past week, and I have no idea where they got the number. "Walter" seemed cooperative about taking me off their list (he picked right up at 877-256-7894), but I'll follow up on here if I start getting other fraudulent calls from this. I'm extremely curious as to what happened with the woman who went through the process in October of last year -- what ever happened??

I pulled your report up through a google search of the phone #877-256-7894 for Paul who left the same message on my phone. It was basically the same set up except this search came about because they call themselves: Horizon Travel 13 Red Roof Ln Unit 2A Salem, NH 03079 I spoke to Petra (her direct # is 877-256-7879) and she set up an appointment for me for this Sunday at 2pm to claim my scratcher and prize. Same deal, 2 proofs of id, must be above $40,000 combined a year income, etc. I am going to this just to see what is the deal, if it's legit or not and I will let you know the outcome. I am not worried about it since my significant other is in the law enforcement field. Keep an eye out for the outcome (I have not received and vulgar calls from them like you did FYI) and I will let you know if we did, indeed, win anything.

I am responding to this report because of my concern over two phone calls I received on my personal phone number from the exact same number and company - Sonnenechein Financial Services -mentioned towards the end of the report. The first call showed up on my phone with no message. This morning, I received a call from the same company and phone number. I answered, but was lucky enough to hear a male voice say in a monotone voice - I'm sorry, I have the wrong number - instead of an obscene phone call. I decided to call back and ask why he called twice if it was the wrong number, only to hear a message from the phone company "I'm sorry, this number is no longer in service". I Googled the company name and this site and report came up first on the list. I'm not sure if there is a connection, but I felt it strange and somewhat frightening that this showed up like this. I will keep a log now and if I receive any other calls. I have a terminally ill daughter and do not want her to innocently pick up the phone and be the brunt of a very sick person. Plus, I have received packets in the mail from Holiday Vacation in the near past, which I have not responded to. If there is something else this site would suggest I do in order to help resolve this offensive use of information, please let me know.

also, the reason why i originally responded to you in the way i did is because I do not give you the respect I would give a customer. You are defaming our company, calling us fraudulent, when you have absolutley no idea what we do or what we offer. You were never a customer, nor will ever be one, and you are disrespectful, so a positive rebuttal for you isn't happenin cap'n.

All i know, is that you are a liar. What we do is completely LEGAL, thats why we've been running 10 years strong!!!! We are not at all scared of you, and we know that your report is a complete lie. Get a life A from floral park!!!

All I have to say is that: #1. You Don't call customers that complained about your services or whatever LIARS. #2. You will eventually be found out about and your scheming ways to harrass and exploit people will come to a halt. #3. You offered no significant rebuttal. Your response said it all. If anyone is the LIAR it is you and your fraudulent company. #4. The police that came to my house to file the report the same night had a similar call to his house, without the lewdness, but with the promise of a guaranteed win of "one of four prizes". #5. You should check your staff and see who made phone calls the night of the complaint. You may be surprised that one of your staff members is making calls from that Sonnenshein Financial phone line without your permission.

I don't understand why you must make up lies about our company. All of our phone calls are recorded, and monitored by managers. There is no possible way someone from our office called and asked you if the could "lick your *****". It would be impossible for someone from our organization to do that. You must have prank callers, or secret admirers that your spouse doensnt know about, because we didn't call you and say that. Don't you have better things to do than make false reports about us?
