I just received a call from Trendwest starting the my name had been draw out of a hat for a weekend trip to Vegas or San Deigo with Airfare paid for. (I live in Tucson, AZ)

I don't really recall filling anything out like that though perhaps I did not really sure on that.

The person on the other end said I hadn't filled out a spouse or anything and would like to know if I had one and their name. I thought that was weird because I pretty much put my wife's name on anything like that. This kind of made me worry and I told them I didn't really trust them.

They said thats fine gave me a number to call to call back after I do some research and ask for the name Melissa.

I did a bit of googling and I don't really see any blatent scamming or anything like that.
ButI still don't really trust stuff like this....
I also found where their location is here in Tucson google maps

If any of you have heard of these guys being legit please let me know thanks!
Also found their website seems pretty legit looking.

you'll probably get charged calling their phone number like $5/min while it takes 5 min to navigate thru their voice mail system and 30 min to wait for an operator and another 30 min to get everything straight. Or they are trying to get more of your personal info for identity theft. Call them back at your own risk.

I've got VoIP so I'm not to worried about getting charged.
