I just WON a Vacation!


Recommended Posts

Hey guys. I went 2 comics.com and this popup came up. I was surprised why it even came in the 1st place...anyways...i read it...and wanted 2 see what kinda SPAM was it. I clicked. And shockingly enough...no links were attached so that grabbed my attention!

i called them, it?s a pretty good deal...u can call and see what their offering, i had the price lowered to 99 dollars!! (The vacation is like 1500 dollars, but u won like 1200..so u have to pay the rest, but i lowered the price for 99 dollars. Anyways, I wasn?t interested, it sounded too good to be true!

I told em how im not interested, and they forwarded me to the manager, while i was waiting, i did a WHOIS on the site and the name David McGuire came up. After talking to the manager, he was like we can lower it to $99, i told him how I?m sorry, but i can?t!

anyways, then i asked him if he knew Mr. McGuire and he FREAKED OUT!

hes like YA! how do u know him? im like DAVID? we go way back!! and mann..he got ****ed off a lil bit..and hes like OOO..uve been waisting my time..bla.. bla..hes the owner of the corporation...anyways..im like..dude..chill..i used whois.net!! now took a deep breath..and chilled a lil bit!

It sounded a lil too good 2 be true...but if u guys want...try it out...AT YOUR OWN RISK!

edit: a lil better grammer!

You didn't win, dude....it wasn't (isn't) free. It's called a SCAM. And your grammar is so poor that this thread will likely be closed soon!

I seriously hope you are kidding, friend. If you are kidding, say so, and we'll share a laugh. If you're serious about this, then yes, you're going to get a huge credit card bill.

Uh yeah. Best bet is to have them cancel any transactions, void ur card, issue you a new one, and watch your account for any suspicious activity.

Yeah, it was really not smart to give them your CC#. They just don't give stuff like that away for nothing. I'd call your CC Company and block the transaction.

I must agree with Rob B. If you're smart enough to do a whois on the domain, but stupid enough to give him your credit card you a) should have a credit card, let alone b) a computer.

EDIT: Nice profanity too, dude. :rolleyes: :no:

I've had a company get my CC# from somewhere else. I don't know the company's name because my bank called me and told me that there is an FBI Investigation open about it and they sent the bank a letter advising them to shut my card down and enter it as stolen.

So if I were you just be safe and enter it as stolen and get a new one in (usually) a week, because stolen cards (usually) get priority over other cards being created and processed.

You're 18 years old. Please, go to school. Now.

Edit: Now you just want attention...if its true about the whole Credit Card thing, I hope they charge millions of $ on it.

i am not one to normally comment on how another person spells or what abbreviations are used, but wow... that is horrible... i mean if you want people to take you seriously you might want to try using actual words, not trying to "cheat" the swear filter, and possibly not making your post seem like a conversation over the phone with your friends... just an observation...
