I just received the same letter and the same winnings. Lets get these guys out of business. I am sick and tired of the scam artists. Who is with me?

I got one of these letters. Its not a postcard anymore. Its a long paper with tickets for the 3 trips and the Mercedes or Benz or Porches valued at 49,000 or 49,000 cash or 1500 shopping spree or 5 day 4 night Exotic Island Vacation or 500 cash. I just wonder do u get a prize. I ain't got no money to give them anyway.

does anyone knw about this number?

I checked out this # from your site - receive award letter but returned to sender with a note that I am not interested in Silverleaf Resorts (they have tried these resorts in Galveston, TX).  BIG JOKE!!!!!

AVC Travel Disbursement Division, 6321 Blvd 26 suite 450, North Richland Hills, TX 76180.  It seems that it is a  timeshare company just recieved the letter that I had won.  Susan Murray is the contact.  I am sure there is some legal thing in all this like false advertisement hence the letter does not state some restrictions apply, so its like they would have to give you the minimal of 1295.00.  Congrats!  REally don't have time for this.

THEY ARE SCAMMERS!! I WANTED TO GET THE MERCEDES BENZ.  THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED TO CONSUMERS BUREAU.  THE HELL WITH AVC TRAVEL.

I got a letter in the mail saying that I won a Mercedes Benz, BMW or a Porsche, or a $1,500 shopping spree. Why someone would pick a $1,500 shopping spree over cars that cost nearly $50,000 is beyond, which was the first thing that told me there was something wrong with this.

Also, you guys should know that the company in charge of this will sometimes come on to these forums, saying that the prizes are real just to combat any doubts about the winnings. You guys should be careful.

I got the same postcard with the same too good to be true offers, that i won a porsche and a lusury vacation for two to the caribbean. All of that is bs I wonder if i should report it to the Consumers Bureau.

I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT I WON A BMW, OR A MERCEDEZ BENZ AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO GO TO LYNN, MA TO  a resort where they will supposely give me a tour, AND THEN I CAN TELL EVERYONE I KNOW, THERE I WILL SCRATCH A TICKET AND WILL COME UP 3 OPTIONS OR DESTINATION, I DON'T BELIEVE IT, I CALLED BY CURIOSITY , TO HEAR WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO SAY.

I JUST GOT THE SAME LETTER I THOUGHT I WAS ENTERED WHEN I APPLIED FOR A JOB AS A COOK WITH A CRUISE COMPANY. BUT NOTHIN IS FREE, THANK GOD FOR GOOGLE AND ALL YOU GUYS LOL.............SCAM..SCAM..SCAM..............

this is a scammmmmm
i got the same thing but in a yellow postcard -________-

If you read the very last sentences on the very bottom of the page it says 'this material is used for the purpose of soliciting timeshare sales' also known as SCAM!
Becareful, don't fall for it !

Thx

I also received a letter that I have one a free Caribbean Cruise & the a new Mercedes Benz or Porsche..How lame is that...I am going to my congress women to see if she has had any compaints about this so called scam.  We have to stop these people & I am on a mission.  I advise everyone who does have access to a computer to use it for purposes like this.

Hey, what a coincidence I won the same exact thing too!!!  I guess they are just giving it all away!!! WHAT A SCAM!!

I received exactly the same thing... AVC TRAVEL DISBURSEMENT DIVISION WITH THIS NUMBER 800-309-8853.
It says I have won the New Mercedez Benz, Porsche - value $49,000 or $49,000 cash; or the $1,500 Shopping Spree; or a 5-day/4-night Exotic Island Adventure - $806 value; or $500 cash!

Thank you for this Posts!!!! They are scam!!!

Silverleaf Resorts is still at it as of Oct/2008. Today my deceased father got his "official prizewinner" blue post card in the mail. I knew this was just a solicitation. However, in the spirit of my Dad I decided to check it out on the internet just for fun as he would have done.
So now it's obviously confirmed. Then I wondered should I contribute to the amount of garbage in the landfill by tossing the card in the trash, or could I do something constructive with it?
I noticed the "Presorted First Class U.S. Postage Paid Permit" printed on the card. I smiled, knowing these permits cost the sender money and hoping it costs them for returns in this case obviously undeliverable.
I figured I would help waste some of their money, and hardly any of my time, and allow this company to help out in todays tough economy by sending their card back to them marked "Return to Sender"
After all, it costs me nothing and helps the U.S. Postal workers when the company pays the return postage.
I'm all for sharing the wealth and helping out the economy.
Maybe if enough people do this we can create more jobs, a better economic future for ourselves and defray the rise in postage rates.
It's a Win+Win solution. (Dad would have liked it too!)

I concur with all the comments. They say i have won a mercedes and 5000 dollars worth of gas. They say I have 72 hours to call them. Good thing we have the internet. I always check online first and 4 out of 5 times there is always some valuable information. Thanks to those who take the time to post so we are informed. So remember always post!

God Bless

hey i got the same blue post card.  there is no such thing as a free lunch. or porche for that matter.

I MYSELF HAVE BEEN RECEIVING THOSE POST CARDS MYSELF. JUST WANTED TO CHECK THE PH#1-800-309-8853 OUT BEFORE I CALLED THESE GUYS.THANKS FOR THE INFO. IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE IS PROBRABLY IS.

I have mail postcards from this company with this number above saying to call cause trying to reach me. I have either won a mercedes benz or porsche, cash and/or shopping spree.  A sham too. I have no phone so they try mail from AVC claims center in arlington tx about a parcel. Dont fall for it.

This is Silverleaf Resorts. There are no prizes. It is a time share scam. They have their own page of shame on the Dallas Better Business B. website. Sorry, no winners here. Just shisters!
