877-819-5072

I was told that they have a package for me at the front desk with my name on it and I should call 1-877-819-5072 and ask for Dick Lucy (?).   The number on my caller ID was 603-880-0735.  Buyer beware, if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is. Of course, I won't be calling to claim my package - it's just ridiculous.

The message sounded like a call center that stuffed 20 people in a cube with phones, everyone trying to talk over the person next to them. It's some vacation resort place trying to get your money. Pay couple hundred to get couple thousand dollar vacation, how do they find me?

9am this morning 2/24/2010 i received a voice message from 603-546-6230 asking me to call 877-819-5072 and ask for Trisha Demurs. Another woman answered and the background sounded like murmurs of a boiler room, after one minute Trisha answered and said because i completed a raffle entry card recently at the Maine Home and Garden Show that my card was drawn and I was selected to receive the First Top Gift Package worth $4500, that it was four roundtrip airfair tickets to FL, cazumel, Paris, Aruba, ...other locations, only required I stay 3 nights at one of their approved accommodations such as Marriott and cost could be as low as $69 per night, and I needed to make a 90-minute appointment with Innseason Resort on Route 1 in Ogunquit, ME to learn about their company and my winning. I repeatedly asked to receive details in an email message or by snail mail, each time Trish was aggravated and said I would be told everything at my appointment. I kept asking how many won this and she kept replying saying I had been selected. She wanted to verify my salary and I would not and she was angry and said I did not qualify and that we wasted 15 minutes talking. I apologized taking 15 minutes of her time, and said I thought her manner was unfair and not professional and that I would report her to the Better Business Bureau, she hung up. Come to think of it Maine has a scam alert office with the Maine Atty General's office, so I will alert them also.

Wow!  Thanks to this page it saved me from wasting my time with these people.  They got my name and number from Meadowbook when I went to see Creed in August.  You'd think that Meadowbrook wouldn't sell you out, but I guess you can't trust anyone with your information anymore.  So does this mean that the same venue that I gave my credit card number to, sold my phone number?  Hmmmm...

I made the mistake of filling out one of the forms at the Creed show as well. "Alana" keeps calling, using this return number and saying that "The prizes they have selected for me is blah/blah/blah" After a few messages, I finally answered one of the calls. She started in with the "Calling about the entry form you filled out", etc.
So I interrupt and tell her that the manner in which my information was obtained was not truthful or above board, so anything further to that would be a waste of both of our time. So she gets snotty, saying "You don't even know why I'm calling". Uh, yes I do, you've left me 3 messages so far. So I repeat "the manner in which my info was obtained" line. But she kept trying, so I hung up.
The "deal" when they were asking for people to fill out the forms was for free tickets to an upcoming show, in which you had to agree to come up on stage during the Creed show to accept the tickets. There was no give away, and no one was "called up" during the show. Once that happened (or didn't happen) I knew it was a cheap marketing ploy. (I was pretty sure when I was filling out the form, but there was no doubt by the end of the show.)
And, 3 minutes after I talked to her I was checking my messages, when a new message arrives. It was her again, leaving the same message!! Apparently, she forgot about our conversation....

Great show by the way. Went backstage afterwards, hung out until about 3 AM.

I received a call from this number, too. InnSeason wanted me to come to Cape Cod or Maine to pick up our prize package and get a tour of a resort. They claimed I signed up for a contest at King Richard's Faire. Annoying.
