Received a call tonight from Federal Financial Group. Male caller talked VERY fast so I couldn't understand the name of the company. Told me I would be guaranteed to win one of 4 prizes ($2500 cash, 27" Panasonic flat-screen TV, Ford Explorer or Bahamas vacation). Asked me three questions - my age group, my employment status (since I'm unemployed, he asked if my husband was employed full-time) and my household income group. Told me he would schedule an appointment for someone to bring the scratch card so I could get my prize immediately. I asked if the scratch card could be mailed and he said no because they want to give the prize as soon as the card is scratched. I asked if I could be the only one present and he said my husband needs to be present as well. Gave me an appointment time of 7pm Wednesday evening then passed me to a fast talking female supervisor for verification. Was told someone would call on Tuesday to verify the appointment. Hmm. I think my husband may suddenly need to be hospitalized and his release date unknown, or maybe I need to check him in to a mental institution indefinitely. I will NOT be keeping this appointment.
