Summit Place Auto Group Kia Dealership Flyer Scam Waterford Township Michigan
Report Attachments
First of all, Summit Place Auto Trade (aka Summit Place Kia) sent me unsolicited mail to my box.
It's the second time I receive a flyer where you scratch it to reveal a number or your prize. The first time it was too hard to believe that I have won a car. It was just not that believable.
At this time, they have improved their deceitfulness. There was a little plastic piece (the "codekase"), that when you pull a tab it reveals a number that if matched to the number revealed on the flyer (on "the vault" area), you win the grand prize, a flat screen TV, up to 3,500 "golden" dollars or 100 dollars in cash.
When you take the "codekase" off of the flyer, it shows "$25,000" right below "You Win". And below that it writes: "Someone is holding the CodeKaseTM with the winning combination for $25,000 cash or a Kia Optima!”
So I pulled the tab, scratched "the vault" and the numbers matched. So I called them to make sure that it wasn't a rip-off. They told me that I simply had to drop by with an ID, register and get my prize, if the numbers match and the flyer were sent to me at my residence. I called two more times just to make sure. They all told me the same thing.
After a 40-minute drive I got there. The first sales rep available was XXX (I won't disclose his name at this point). I gave him the flyer and he started asking me a bunch of very personal and confidential questions (e.g., salary, social security number, and address) and got my driver's license. Then he made me sign this "survey".
After signing the paper, he stood up and went to the back. He went back with two coins, worth of 1 dollar each, saying that this was my prize. At first I thought that was a joke. So he explained me that my numbers didn't match. He said that the numbers that should have matched were the one on the barcode and the one they have drawn, questionably. It goes without saying that it contradicts what's said on their flyer.
In conclusion, I waste my time and money, I didn't accept their "prize", and went back home with just my copy of the "survey" that, by the way, I had to go back there and ask for it. I asked them to get my information back, that I didn't want them to use my information with anything and the sales rep said that they had to keep it.
That's undoubtedly a scam. They probably just want your personal information to sell it for marketing companies.
If they treat their potential customers like that, imagine their real customers! That's not a good sign. You can't trust them and they lost their credibility, if there were any left. I don't intend to make money out of this but to warn people. That's not just a waste of time but they make you look and feel like a fool.
