I just got a call from an indian man with a bad accent selling the same story about winning 1 of 4 prizes. He wanted me to repeat the address that he wanted me to go to. I kept telling him I did not submit a ballot.

I asked his number he gave me the following number to call back 905-963-7365 and said his name was Kash.

This number someone DOES pick up its some guy and its not a company number. Its a cell phone and there is background muic playing.  I told him to stop calling me to take my number off his list or I was going to call the cops.

They just called again now to confirm whether or not we were making it to the presentation tonight.  I pretended that I didnt know anything about that I said that they were out for the evening and he demanded to know a cell phone number and said "how can they be out for the evening we have their prize ready they have an appointment." I claimed to know nothing about it and what prize? how would I know and he got very angry and wanted to know what time we'd be back I wouldnt tell him I said they're out for the night.  He nearly hung up on me, I can tell that it was the "manager" that called this time he told me his name was William Lee this time he was Kevin.  the number that they called from this time was: 905 358-1217 I hope they dont keep calling I will get really pissed off.

Not much to add to all the other reports other than my call had the name James, said his number was 905.581.0080 and that he was with Business Resources Group. Still the same address of 1510 Drew Road, Unit 6.

I just got a similar call 10 minutes ago from 905 358-1223.  They called at 8:15 in the morning and said that I picked up a coupon from a gas station back in June they asked me if I remember this I said Sure (why not play along) they said I had been chosed to to win 1 of 5 amazing prizes, (42" Toshiba TV, $1,500 Cash in U.S. Dollars, Furiniture valued @ $1000.00, 3 day 2 night vacation to florida, mexico or niagara falls, or a 7-day all exclusive trip to Cancun, Mexico) and there was no obligation just come to:
1510 Drew Road Mississauga, Dixie and Dairy intersection. and just sit through a presentation.

I had pick a specific time and to come either tonight or tomorrow and he wanted me to choose a specific time and he said I had to bring my husband plus 2 pieces of ID.  

We were going to shown a presentation at the "Gifting Centre" for 60-90 mins then we draw 1 of the 5 prizes he talked about and that was it.  They said they were a US company trying to break into the Canadian market by word of mouth advertising.  The "supervisor" that came on and gave me a "gifting code" and said his name was William Lee and his phone number was: 416 548-5891 ext.828 and if I had any questions to call him but to make sure that my husband and I showed up at the specific day and time. I wrote down all the information and immediately googled this address 1510 Drew Road and to my amazement it came up before I even finished typing Drew. So I knew that I had to add my story to this site. To warn other people about the different ways they are trying this scam.

same story as above. This pushy guy just called. Had to confirm my number (didn't) said I won one of 4 prizes. I kept asking where my number was left.  He got annoyed that I couldn't understand his not so clear accent.  Somewhere in mississauga??  that is where I left my cell number on a ballot of sorts?  huh? I never go there.

Where can I report them?

I got the call from the Indian guy, said his name was Douglass Graham and he was calling from a place called "Customer Benefits Center".  He said I need to claim a promotional gift from a ballot I filled out in the 2008 Christmas season.  I asked him if he knew what my address was, he told me an address I moved from 5 years ago, and when I told him I didn't fill out a ballot he said perhaps a family member or significant other did.  But why would a family member or significant other give an address I hadn't lived at in 4 years?  This is a scam - don't give this guy any information.

Ok , They called me and I was almost happy because my economic situation is not the best. SO i was planning my visit to the 1510 drew road unit 6 in Mississagua. Ok I set up the appoinment and I discovered that he place was pretty far for me and I have to spend almost $20 in transportation( that I do not have). Then I checked on internet and I discovered this  posting and that was a scam . i used to be a telemarketer and I feel so dumb because I let myself believe that was true. Anyways just beaware.  Thank You very Much for your postings.Let me know where or who to call to stop these guys.

Thanks Again and be happy

Careful! They are also registered with this number 1-888-301-1251.
Got a call from them, claiming the person I am speaking to is the 'manager'. Asked him numerous times what his name was, but he keeps yapping about the two vacation tickets prize. Some other employee had called before and also claimed he was from GeoHoliday, claiming to be 'Jerry'.

Asked him who he works for, and he claimed to be working for Geoholidays.com, telling me to pick up the prize at
60 West Wilmot St., Unit #1
Richmond Hill, ON.

Apparently, the company GeoHoliday was also under the name of Fairfield Resorts, and a new name (which I'm unsure whether they have started using yet) Wyndham Vacation Resort. Depending on who they are calling to, their offices are found in the US and Canada and they go by various names.

Note this, after searching around on the Internet, you can be qualified for this so-called 'prize' IF you are between the age of 25-70 with a least $50,000 in income.

Also, beware that GeoHolidays have tons of other sites associated with them. Even if you do buy whatever they are trying to sell you, I bet it would ruin you financially. Trying to contact their main offices to remove my number doesn't seem possible either.

Found a very important story about GeoHolidays. I hope the one who wrote this won't mind me pasting it for all of you to see. The story about his experience with GeoHoliday (aka Fairfield Resorts) was difficult to find, since it was about three years ago (~2005).

Disclaimer: This quote was taken off a site (linked from another site that no longer exists). I do not own this quote/story. Hopefully Jeff is alright with me posting his experience here.

**********
Hi All,

I just wanted to post this as a warning to people out there.... about a
company named Geo Holidays... aka Fairfield Affiliate.

We got a call from someone from Geo Holidays last week. This person
claimed
that we had won one of 4 free vacation packages to various locations in
the
world. He stated that every year his company chooses 4 lucky couples to
which are given free vacations. Instead of advertising on TV, radio,
billboards, etc.. he said they believed word of mouth advertisement is
what
they want. We would enjoy our vacation so much that we would happily
spread good word of mouth. (We are in Toronto, Canada by the way).

Being skeptical I asked what the catch was. I asked this guy, "what
will
you people try to sell me when I come there? is this in any way a
timeshare?". He assured me that there were no strings attached and that
nobody would try to sell me anything. We just have to go there and draw
for
the prize (but said we had to be there for approx. 90 mins).

If I hadn't of entered a draw for a vacation at a store earlier this year
I
probably wouldn't have gone at all.... but I didn't want to miss out if I
was mistaken. I also couldn't turn up anything bad for Geo Holidays when
searching on the internet....

Anyways, we drive to the place Saturday morning (our prearranged meeting
time)... and the sign outside on the building says "Fairfield Affiliate".
Interesting... the name Geo Holidays is seen nowhere (apparently they are
just a partner). Inside we were led to a room where we wait a while and
then every couple gets a salesperson sitting beside them to start talking
us
into buying this vacation crap. "All we ask is that you keep an open
mind.
When you get over the anger you have by how we got you all here, you will
be
happy. At the end you just need to say yes or no." Yeah, right. This
strange black guy from Tennessee comes in and start making a big
presentation trying to be funny and all. The audience felt so fixed with
the agents everywhere... they laughed on cue... clapped on cue... like
puppets. The poor people in the front row should have been wearing
raincoats since that speaker guy kept spitting when he talked. The whole
thing felts like something out of the Twilight Zone... it felt like one of
those cults where you are waiting to take your special pill so the
spaceship
will come and take us all away. Creepy...

The speaker goes on talking about points and a system called FairShare
(but
explaining that it is not timeshare). He goes on mentioning it will cost
us $1066 to go anywhere in the world each year... blah blah blah....

He finishes... and it is time for our little salesman to continue to try
to
talk us into it. He reminds us that we are guaranteed our free vacation
no
matter what happens. Out of curiousity I ask how much this actually
costs.
So... we go to a room with about 40 tables with paper and calculators on
them.

He slowly (and I emphasis slowly) explains everything to us. The total
cost for the package came out to about $40,000 something. The membership
is for 45 years. I'm thinking... these guys must be nuts!! And that is
just for the package itself... let alone the annual maintenance fees of
around $500. He does some calculations and says I will only have to pay
$900 per month to get this package. Yeah, right!! ha!! I told the guy
bluntly that there was no was in hell he was going to get a "yes" out of
me.
He told me to wait while he got another representative to tell us about a
package he might not of heard about.

So... some lady who smelt like armpits came over and sat down with us.
She
offered us another package that was for about $15,600 with much less
included (of course). But she said today they had a special on it and
that
it was only $13,600. It came out to about $290 per month or something
plus
the extra $400 maintenance fees (they write a US$ figure to make it seem
smaller). I told her even if it was $20 per month we wouldn't say "yes".
After talking for another half hour she said she wanted to talk to her
boss
to see if there was anything else she could do. She comes back and says
there was a promotion on that she wasnt aware of and the price would
actually be $11,000. We still said "no". She made it seem that us
saying
"no" just boggled her mind.... like she couldn't comprehend how someone
could say "no"! She told us that she was in this program herself and
that
we would be fools not to join.

(Inbetween these discussions we are interrupted 3 times by people
announcing
who has just bought the package. "Quiet everyone. May we have your
attention. Mr. and Mrs. Smith all the way from Toronto have just signed
up
with us." <<Clapping>>. Again sounding so fixed and creepy. And when
we
are talking about the packages when this happens the armpit lady tells us
to
be quiet and listen.)

Still not understanding the answer no, my wife writes the letters "NO" on
a
piece of paper a dozen or so times, shows it to them, and tells them that
we
are leaving. They finally understand. They lead us to the prize office
and we draw our 3 days accommodation-only prize for Orlando, Florida.. and
we leave. At least we got something... but I won't fall for that again!!
These companies lure us in with deceit and lies... I don't understand how
anyone would hand over any money to people.

They wanted word of mouth from me.... and now I have fulfilled my duty.

Thanks

Jeff

haha just got a call from this guy. Told me all the same bu***hit I've read in the above posts. Hung up after laughin at him a bit. He called me back three times without me answering. Meanwhile I found this site and on the fourth call back, I answered read some of the posts to him. After that he all of a sudden wanted to go. I thought it was pretty funny that now all of a sudden he wanted to go, and I called him out on it! Scam all the way, but you can have fun with this guy. Hilarious. I told him not to lie about his name because we all know some Indian guy isn't named "Alex Martin", and we also know he doesn't live in Mississauga if he doesn't know where Square One is. I told him that calling back 4 times after someone has hung up on you is harrassment - and you'll never get someone to buy into this scam by harassing them. :)

I received a phone  at home from a man named Sunil with a south asian accent from this number. I assumed it was a long distance call and he had got the wrong number. He called me back a few times. I finally picked up and listened carefully. He was actually trying to communicate to me in Hindi. I asked him what he wanted and why he called. He kept asking me for my name. He finally said that he was calling because he was bored. I was appalled. I hung up. He called again. I picked up and responded in English "I work for Rogers Communications head office and I advise you that I can see your 1900 number. I am contacting the police with it." He replied "s**t" and hung up.

Hasn't called me back. I looked at my caller ID and noticed this number several times.

June 06, 2009.

Yesterday, I tried to book a holiday with "Impressive Getaways" alias national gifting centre, premium club, geo vacations, premium buyer's club.  In 2006, we paid $4,800 cash to get 20 years of reduced hotel fees, cheaper travel, and weekend getaways anytime we wish.  So far we have been unable to use any of these priveleges that we paid for.  I just decided after all this time and being
unable to contact, Lea Jackson, that I will google the name in.  It would appear to me that these people are making money and passing on their ideas to someone else and they are continuing this scam.  I have also received calls
from the Indian guys who always give a caucasion name that does not make sense.
What crooks.  Someone has to stop them.  This is nothing more than a major
pyramid scheme, that keeps going, and going and going and nobody gets caught.  Perhaps we should call in the RCMP to stop those crooks.  I guess we had been taken, and we must say bye to our hard earned money.

Got the call!  It is illegal to make death threats over the phone... However, I stated, I will burn and kill everyone at the store if my prize is not provided...  I am prepared to cover the legal bills to save the old poor people that have to suffer this abuse from scam artists.  Cease and Desist does not work with these people.  Enough already!

Budist, love... I would not hurt a fly.
