Same number used 888-299-3533 but in this case it is the man standing on the corner in a Hawaiian shirt and holding a sign:
99.00 roundtrip to Hawaii for 2.  
This time see him in Garden Grove, CA but all over Orange County.  Different people but same sign.
Also have received the postcard with US Airlines.  I think one of the local stations did an expose on the trips at one time.  The US Airline card is not related to the airline company.

Anyone else notice the above person wrote maybe some phone calls "you get OUR" scams but..."? Our?

Wow... anybody else notice the Freudian slip in the use of "our" instead of "are" in the last sentence? I love employee assistance in the forums... thanks.

Having a hard time with this one. I googled the number when I saw it on a billboard in L.A. Area advertising $99 round trip airfare to Hawaii. Must do more research...

I'm very intuitive, I follow the " gut feeling", eventhough it may not be a 'scam', still, these mall sweepstakes with a chance to win a 2011 Chevy Camaro  or a trip for 2 to Vegas sounds charming, it's just a hook to get their business and to me that's misleading enough and a total waste of time. I did too got a call this past Thursday night from John (312) 445-9038 said I have a chance to win a car or 2 vacations to Vegas for participating a winning draw 550 Warrenville suite 100B in Lisle. Too far, and not enough gas in my truck to get there, and plus they solicited a debit or credit card asking if I was single and earn over 50K please!!!!!
....Yeah right!! NOT ever going to fill out any sweepstakes again. They're full of s***.

We are going tonight to listen to the sale pitch in lisle. I will let you all know if it's a scam or if you really get the tickets.

Why did u cancelled the appointment, you could have just not go!

Is the camaro sexy?

I read your message. I am only cautious about this because the number I was given to call back on has been disonnected.  Why?  But they can still call me and if I don't answer the calls just keep coming and costing me minutes on my cell phone every time  they call.  I would like to believe its legitamate.  I know I won't get the key to the car. Just a game to play. But the trip to the Dells would be nice that they offered and whatever the free surprise it. But right now I am in no position to buy into anything. Money is short and economy is bad. Not sure what to do.

This Jeremy keeps calling me I booked a date with him at the Lisle office for the presentaiton. Now I think I will be cancelling after hearing all these stories and because the phone # he gave me to call him back says its no longer in use. What a scam!!  He can keep calling me all day long like he has  saying he is reminding me aboutmy presentation date which would be Saturday but I can't call him back to cancel.

I got a call from a Jeremy to come and see if the key fit to win a car and a free trip to the Dells in Wisconsin and a surprise gift.

I got the same call about getting a key to see if I won the car and a free vacation in the Dells and a surprise gift for coming to the presentation.  Glad I pulled this up to find out.

I got a flyer today with the same phone number -- 1-228-233-8089 -- but my "free" gift is a touchpad tablet computer complete with Android software!

I got a similar call from (312) 239-3656 with the same message. I wasn't eligible for the car but they still wanted me to go to Lisle to accept the vacation... I don't know if it's legit yet, my dad said they'd make me sign up for a time-share and I had them call my mom to give her more information. I wonder how many other people got that same call....

corrected phone number...
312 241 1407....(not 213)....

WOW..... i just got the phone call....Shanti Diaz...stated i "won" a key to 2012 Camaro...but at worst a trip to Vegas....the number is...213 411 1407....have to go to Lisle illinois to see if the key fits.
is this a scam?????????????? it's far for us to go...i don't want to be a fool falling for this. i signed up yesterday at the Palatine illinios Homefest........

She too called me it sounded too good to be true glad I checked it out first

Went to the presentation. It's NOT A SCAM and I've been to 2 others years ago by Wyndam Resorts and Marriot. The thing is you are paying for an opportunity to travel and vacation at reduced costs for the rest of your lives. My fiancee and I purchased but after thinking it over, We are cancelling it because even though we were able to talk them down 5G's from the regular price, it's not for us at the moment. To anyone who travels or has the time to travel or plans on traveling more in the near and far future, I say go for it and talk them down as low as possible. You're talking about monthly financed payments and interest or 1 lump sum the night of the presentation + HOA fees yearly and other smaller fees. Oh and by the way, this is not timeshares but villas and 5 star Hotel stays for weeks out of a year. Also, the 2012 CHevy Camaro.... Yeah, no one is going to win that. All the keys are basic cut keys from like a home depot. That was my main reason for going honestly and was highly disappointed once we spent 4 hours in Lisle, IL to ultimately decide we were going to cancel. Words to the wise, READ EVERYTHING! ASK QUESTIONS!

Hello guys,

Same thing happened with me but i asked them if this is fake or a time wasting effort. I got the reply as it's legit and you don't have to sign anything.

Now my question is, should i go check it out or not?

Rita,
Can you tell me how it went for you? I actually called them wanting to find out info. They have me scheduled for a presentation & I intend to do the same thing you said. Please let me now how it worked for you.
Thank you!

Ha, ha I'm reading all of these and thinking the exact opposite. I'm going to this "presentation" turning them down and getting my free trip! The economy doesn't allow some of us to afford luxuries such as vacations and these people are giving them away. Jokes on them if u ask me. I won't be giving them any bank or credit card info. I won't be buying a timeshare, and I don't mind spending 90 minutes telling them so. We had plans to take our family to Disney in October anyway and this will just free up money for two airline tickets and add a couple extra nights stay! I'm thrilled, can't wait.

You are all just timeshare hating people. My wife and I love these things so we gave them a shot last week.  We recieved two roundtrip tickets and a two night hotel stay in Vegas.  What is wrong with timeshare if you recieve the free gift for your time?  Of course it's an advertising shpeal but my wife and I love them if they don't take all night. We arrived at 5:30pm and we were out the door by 7 with our tickets!!!
I enjoyed it because it didn't take hours and we got some good information. They have really great deals on timeshare and the group presentation makes it less pressure.  Thanks for making room for my broke a**!!! VEGAS BABY!

Thank you for all your warnings dated 2010, 2011 and it's May 10th, 2012 now, still doing the same stories like you posted here. you were all right and they change their scheme or story but the address is the same at 550 Warrenville rd. Suite 100 B rd, Lislle, il.They have a booth at one of the big mall and there's a raffle. so, in short the rep name is Shanti Diaz who called me that I was chosen for a chance to win 2012 Camaro or $25,000 if the key is right if not, I will still have a chance to win a free trip, Las Vegas or Orlando, FL. She also mentioned about the 90 minute presentation.It's the same banana what you're all sharing from your experiences. I'm glad I checked first.I'm just googling the location coz it's a bit far, but lo and behold, all these scam stories just came up. Thank God for saving me. Thank you people for your warnings.

You did quite an okay job with your investigation.  
Where you fell short is actually checking it out.  Thanks to idiots like your self full of skepticism the room wasn't too packed to get some good information on vacationing.  I'm an owner with RCI and they still allowed me to go to the presentation to listen to the shpeal and get some free gifts.  I got two round trip air line tickets from O'hare to LAX.  Not a bad deal at all. I redeemed them and I'm writing this from San Clemente CA.  For those interested it only took an hour and a half.  Group presentation, not high pressure one on one.
You are very paranoid, but thank you for making room for me to get a seat!

I checked it out. It's alright. Not the best 90 minutes I've spent but I didn't have to purchase to get my tickets. 2 roundtrip coach tickets and a 2 night hotel stay at the marriot in vegas.  My wife and I had fun on the trip and didn't have to jump through hoops to claim the tickets. Not a total waste of time if your in the area.

I went with my wife and daughter.  We didn't buy anything and we got 6 nights at the dells in WI. It was kinda lame but it didn't take all night. If your going to go to try to win the car forget it. If you want a free vacation DO IT.

You caught it? What in the world is wrong with timeshare if you get a free vacation? They do a lot better than the old days when you used to get toaster ovens, or silverware sets. Of course it's timeshare you dork!!!

I am not easily convinced....My wife and received a call from Jennifer as well. She told us that the form we filled out at Gurnee Mills to win the camero was selected.  As soon as she said that I new it was some sort of sales pitch.  I did my research and found out it was.  I like these things. My schedule isn't too hectic and I have plenty of time.  I took the 45 minute drive and checked it out. They're selling timeshare.  They have you watch a presentation and you turn a key into a box.  Of course I didn't win the car. The car is they're hook to get people down there.  I did however recieve two roundtrip tickets to Las Vegas with a two night hotel stay. To my surprise they were fairly easy to redeem but you can't fly on any holidays... the whole thing took a little under 2 hours
In conclusion.... Sales pitch YES.... Scam NO

BIG SCAM.. Paradise Travels. 550 Warrenville Road , 100 B , Lisle, IL 60532...

They called me up yesterday stating that I am one of the finalists to win a car or in worse case a vacation package to Vegas. I know it was fishy but I tagged along.. I am glad I researched and found out its a SCAM. Please don't fall for it. they will give you a number (877-845-7531) to confirm your appointment. If you ask more direct questions, they will avoid. I was lucky that during those questions "time-sharing" slipped from her end and I caught it.

I also filled out the card at the mall, figuring why not?

I was a little wary of some of the questions, for example, income but I submitted it none the less.

Yesterday I received a call from Jennifer 3124459200 saying she was from paradise travels, and that I was selected as a semi finalist. While I was listening to her talk, I tried to google both Paradise Travels, Lisle, the number, and the address she gave me. Nothing really seemed to add up. The number said it was registered to a Dr office in Chicago, and it would not pull as a business in Lisle.

Jennifer tried to make it seem very important that I MUST come in as soon as possible. I said there is no way I could drive to Lisle tonight. Then she acted almost desperate to set an appointment with me. I said  I would do Saturday afternoon. Then she told me that I had to bring with me Mail, my ID, and my Credit card to 'confirm that it was really me' and becuase the prizes are oh so valuable. She also said I would have to check a box and sign something about my income.

As soon as i heard that last part, I knew I wouldn't be going. I hope nobody else does. If they call me to confirm the appointment i was dumb anough to make, they may just get an earfull.
