[virtualsadie]

I don't remember and can't find where I entered this but it's a scam, got a call today same sort of b.s you may have heard before but wanted to warn you anyways.

Here's the number it came from
1 226 289 1841

"OH YOU'VE WON a cruise trip to Florida and the Bahamas, before you get too excited I need to confirm your name, date of birth, your address and your partners information that you will take on your trip. I also show tht you have a valid VISA card so I will need to confirm that as well"


My reply: Why would I give you my credit card information on the telephone

SCAMMER: We need that so you can check in and out of our resorts you need a credit card


My reply: That's funny you didn't mention that on the contest entry

SCAMMER: Well then if you don't have a credit card that excludes you from being an eligible winner of the contest


My reply: Of course it does you scamming f'ing B****

Okay I hunted them down here they are, big time scam company!! Watch for this name when you enter contests. And they're using Disney's good name to gain trust so I'll report to Disney as well:


The company is : GLOBAL FINANCIAL

It's not always easy to spot a scam, and new ones are invented every day.

If you suspect that you may be a target of fraud, or if you have already sent funds, don't be embarrassed - you're not alone.

If you want to report a fraud, or if you need more information, contact The Canadian Anti- Fraud Centre:
