Bubber Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I was wondering if anyone else is gitting these calls saying that you are a finalist in a contest to win a car. By the way I have never heard of a 300 X lexus. I have received three calls on it. It seems the operator is waiting for me say the word yes and I get the feeling it is being recorded. Is there a new scam or a variation of a old one going on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 If it sounds too good to be true .... Always ask them to send somthing in writing and never, ever, ever say the words yes on the telephone to someone you don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 My favorite was the contest at Hooters (I don't remember which location) where the prize was a new Toyota. The girl that won was taken to see her brand new toy Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girl that won was taken to see her brand new toy Yoda But, in that case there was an easy target for the suit so she got her car: http://www.heferito.com/toyyoda.asp http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m3190/2...1/article.jhtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogmaDog Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Hmmm. Watched "Matchstick Men" last night. Kinda soppy, but it opened with a scam pretty similar to this... DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe Hooters settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
