This number has called me 5 times a day for the last week. I've not answered. No message. Hate that

A travel-vacations place. I filled out some kind of entry form at the county fair, and these guys called to say I won a couple days' vacation package for two people to my choice of about 15 places and whenever I wanted within the year and I would only have to pay for taxes and other government fees at the time of actual booking. This to introduce me to their service "in hopes that I will be impressed enough with their service to call them for other vacation arrangements" in the future. It is probably the same place I have seen stuff for as a "free gift" for having a vacuum cleaner sales guy do his demonstration. It is probably legitimate and might even be a good value for a couple who want to take a couple days' vacation together, but it sounds like the fees and taxes are still more money than we want to spend right now. The number the guy gave me to call back after talking with my wife was 844-854-2280

I filled out a form at the gun show.  They called me several times before I finally answered.  They said I won a free trip to one of several places around the country, or a cruise from Mexico.  They wanted me to go to the main office in SLC.  Denise said she was in her office in Tampa Florida, but the phone caller ID said it's a call from Bothell, WA. She said she works for Casa Blanca Express, but the caller ID said GTN.  Everything is free, but I have to pay taxes and fees.   No thank you.   Sounds like a scam. I bet everyone who entered the contest is getting a call saying they won a free vacation.

If you've "won" something, you shouldn't have to pay anything...
