Just got a call from the same "James" for the lucky draw winner. Though I avoided to give any personal information other than what they already have, I got an appointment for Saturday which after reading all on this search, I will cancel soon. Thanks all for sharing.

hey all!i totally just got the same call you all did.  the woman had a heavy indian accent and when it came time to give me the claim number she transfered me to a "manager" who did actually speak better english.  i guess their pitch is getting better b/c the guy gave my a number to call back and did give me a confirmation number.  same address (6175 hw 7 woodbridge) and company (premium inc) as everyone else. i googled the company and got jack all.  i was also a bit confused when they said not to bring friends or kids seeing as he claimed they are trying to "expand their business", why wouldnt they want exposure if this was the case.  i was also told that i would "draw" for 1 of 5 prizes and there will be 4 other people there.  he told me they are not trying to sell anything or get you to sign up, they are simply a US company trying to expand their business and trying too get their name out there.  he gave me the info that i would have to fill in the info, my income age etc, and gave me a rough guideline of what my info was.   im curious, do that actually have access to your income, age, marital status etc?  i was excited until i found this site and realized the call was crap.  i couldnt say i didnt fill anything out b/c i fill out ballots all the time,  i rarely give out my address though and they had it.  is there any way to block these people from getting my info?  im fully creeped out right now. especially since i told the guy id come by (tonight) since at the time i thought it was legit.i feel for you all, i am now a little wiser.

this "company' is total b***s***... dont waste your time.. f***ing scammers..

I had a call the same the other day and told them i would call them back on tuesday to arrange a time to pick up my "prize"...i did not call and received a call at 930 tues evening grilling me and not allowing me to talk and finally i said..please remove me from your ballot as im no longer interested in reciving this prize as i feel you are being intrusive and harassing me.  He continued on demanding further explanation as "he was going to get in trouble" and his supervisor would be calling me etc.  after a full 5 minutes and my hands literally starting to shake ( he said "this is the most ridiculous conversation i have ever had") i had to hang up.   I tried to point out that he called me and that i did not wish to speak to him any longer and he kept going on like an abusive controlling partner.  I literally felt nervous and disturbed as they people have my phone number and therefore my address.  This group has been the most insistant and threatening telemarketers i have ever encountered.  Why do they think its okay to phone up someone and solicit and then bully when they are told "no".  In future ALL telemarketers calls will be told "no" immediately followed by my hanging up.  Ridiculous!

Why this is a scam:

1) although they say you get one of 5 prizes, the only prize they actually have is the 2 days getaway in a few places in the states and Canada. Interesting enough, we knew someone who had won this "prize" with the same prize company and they ended up never going because apparently, they never had any spaces. Moreover, you have to pay 50 USD in advance and oh, right, that money was never given back

2) they get you there with a prize for a ballot you didn't enter. The guy on the phone actually said that we entered it from dec 17 - 31 last year in one of 75 malls. What he didn't know was that in that period, we were not even in north america.

3) when you go, you learn quickly it has nothing to do with winning a prize, it is about you paying a lot of money for some club that provide you apparent financial benefits, but the paper they want you to sign only states you membership of the club, not the actual services provided

4) they want you to pay *the night you are there*. (lots of money btw, initially about 10000, when you kept saying no, it went down to 3000) When I told them, I'll think about it, go home and do some research, they were not interested anymore. In other words, they probably don't really offer anything as long as they get your money.

5) aggressive sales people, wow. No kidding. Slick like hell, like trying to be your friend and all that

I recommend anyone who actually went to the place to keep an eye on credit ratings. This is a primary scheme for identity theft

Don't believe anything they tell you or any of the "positive postings" about them on this site.THIS IS A SCAM.They indicated the address was 6175 HWY #7 in Woodbridge, Ontario.Don't waste your time.
