Contest

Someone call me up and told me I have won a coupon for some Plasma TV

I just received a phone call from a Sam Albert who stated that I had filled out a ballot and won one of 5 prizes (cash, laptop, furniture) at Walmart...first of all I NEVER fill out ballots.  Sam stated that I would have to sit through a presentation and would be served light refreshments.  WhenI told him that my husband was unavailable he insisted that he need to be present...why?  if I had won the prize.  This sounds like a marketing scheme that I want no part of.

Got a call that our name was picked from a contest ballot. Unfortunately for them the phone bill is still in my late father-in-law's name and they quoted his first initial and last name (isn't that swell? He finally wins a prize 8 years after he departed the neighbourhood. Must be some kind of presentation where they want to sell you a time share or something. If I were to claim my prize (from a list of 4 of which one was a Toshiba TV) I would be obligated to ensure a presentation in 3 segments lasting not longer than 90 minutes (so they say..)including - get this - a refreshment segment upon arrival.Marketing bull#$@( if I ever smelled it. Like I don`t have better things to do.Be forwarned.Will update if they pursue further after I don`t arrive....lol
