Vacation Certificates
I'm on a roll. Today, I received another noticed that I've been awarded "Two Round Trip Airline Tickets to Any Major International Airport Anywhere in the Continental USA." All I have to do is call 800-507-5010. Yeah, right.
They even included a marketing flyer that resembles an airline ticket from about 10 years ago. On the back, it lists the travel provider as:
Millenium Travel & Promotions
4647 S Clyde Morris Blvd
Suite 501
Port Orange FL 32129
I found a BBB report on the above company. I also found a link to their toll-free number.
This firm also mentioned that you will receive "$300 in Gas Rebates"
Whatever....

Hi,
I just received a letter from the same Millennium Travel where they say I have been awarded with a two round trip airline ticket to any airport in USA. Plus a $30.00 certificate for a dinner and if I call the number 1-800-507-5010 now I have a $300.00 Grocery Voucher.
Well I didn't call the no. I just made some search online with the 800 number and it came out as scam. As I thought.
People, don't trust free gift. A dog doesn't move his tail for nothing.

Just got mine in the mail today. I thought it looked very irregular and non-descript to be a prize. Think I could have created a more convincing brochure on my old Apple IIe computer (I think that is what they actually used).
Thanks for starting the dialog!

Hmm, I also got mine last year, I thought it was just a prank and pretend nothing was sent to me. In that way, i will get too excited. LOL!
