I recieved a call on my answering machine today (jan 07 09)
the call said that my husband an I have made to the final round to win
an suv lexus. but she needs to validate my information on the ticket.
And to do this I must call +1 800-728-1695 ext 8352 .On my call display it said aviawest
(250) 716-2650 has anyone else recieved a call this year
I am going to the r c m p tomorrow to see if they have any informtion on this .they will be able to tell me who to contact for more info on this and if its a scam.

I had calls from this number both last and this week to which I requested that I be placed on their "Do Not Call List". Also, I have some knowledge of the timeshare industry and know that it doesn't suit my lifestyle.

If calls like these continue and/or you are receiving calls from other organizations attempting to market their products to you, all you have to do is ask to be placed on their "Do Not Call List".

Check it out: http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/DNCL/brochure_consumer.htm.

Also, if you're considering a timeshare purchase you should compare Aviawest prices to that of resales. Have a look at Craigslist or UsedVictoria and see the difference in price between Aviawest and resellers. These products are not liquid! You can't even give them away. What happens then when you buy the product and a few years later you no longer believe that it suits your lifestyle? Good luck offloading it. Remember, if you don't use it, you still have to pay maintenance fees and membership dues.

So how long have you been working this FILTHY SCAM? It's funny when you scumballs show up on sites like this, they must be making it tougher for you to STEAL MONEY on the phone. Good, glad to hear it!


Oh, and BBB ratings are effing worthless, they don't report against business that pay them dues.

ve no remeberance of entering anything. BMW ya right.

Unlike some of you I was actually smart enough to answer the call and talk to them and see what they were calling about instead of making assumptions. I admit I was skeptical at first but I actually did remember entering a draw for a lexus a couple years ago, It just took me a second to remember. I actually went to their presentation and I made it clear from the beginning that I was NOT interested in buying a time share, the salesman was very nice and professional and did not pressure me at all, after the 90 minutes were up I swiped the card and won a $2500 home Entertainment shopping spree and 2 nights for 1 at an AviaWest resort. My wife and I are planning to use it at the Parkside resort in Victoria. I know there are a lot of scams going on but AviaWest is NOT a scam and I suggest anybody who gets a call from these guys should certainly go to their presentation and check them out, they have a lot of awesome deals and treat people with respect.
