So when we were out in columbus for the michigan game, we went to Polaris mall and saw that they were giving away a Benz. My dad put in an entry form and I told him not to even do it. Well today someone from the mall called and left a message saying that we had won a 1,000 shopping spree and a vaction... and to call them back at a 800 number. Kind of sketchy :/ Of course they didnt mention anything about a timeshare or some BS, but I bet thats what it is. I just dont know how they can get away by saying, you won this and then not deliever. Anyone ever had something like this happen to you?

those "entry form" are sometimes ways to get your authorization to switch your long distance provider. no joke.

LOL I just got ANOTHER call from a different offer. They said that I had won a trip to the bahammas or press 0 to opt out or press 9 to speak to someone. I pressed 9 and some lady said "Helloo?" I told her to not FVCKING call here and she hung up. :p
