Today I had a message waiting on my phone from a Tammy Gibson stating that she was from the "Prize Division" and it was important that I return her call to 1-888-383-7151 as soon as possible.
Since I never sign up for scamming prizt patrols, I found it odd, but since I had the time, I wanted to see if by chance I really did win something.
When I called, Brandon Parker, the fast talking associate of Ms. Gibson simply said that she was at lunch but that he could help me. He asked for my phone number...after I gave it, he first called me by a stranger's name, and then said I lived a town away, to which I immediately corrected him.
Then he said that it could be worked out and that I was automatically going to win one of four prizes which included a Hummer, a Lincoln Navigator, a check for $40,000 or a week long trip to the Bahamas, or something like that. He added that on top of going home with one of the prizes just mentioned, I was also in the running for a $1,500 shopping spree at places like Saks Fifth Avenue and Palais Royale...and another trip to either Florida or Las Vegas as well.
I was just shell-shocked. I was stammering that he was going to fast and that I didn't sign up for any such prizes and he said that a friend could have signed me up for it.
To claim my prize, all I had to do was drive down to New Bransfels and take a ten minute tour of the new resort. Then they would give me and my husband each a special lottery ticket...and if after scratching off both tickets, 5 pots of gold shows through, then we would win the big prize...YEP, it wasn't an automatic win...
And then he started listing off one requirement or stipulation after another. We had to each have two forms of ID, to prove we weren't cons and if we were married, we had to have a combined income of $40,000 and singles had to have an income of $45,000...
This is when I had to stop him and all my dancing pipe dreams went right up in a cloud of stinky smoke.
Since Brandon Parker gave me his name and number twice, I am sure he won't mind me sharing it here. Before the crushing letdown, once again realizing that we are too poor for these type of situations, he explained why Canyon Lake's Hill Country Resort chose word of mouth over the more expensive option of national advertising costs.
So I thought I would share my opinion of this snob-infested Resort to all of you interested in knowing how they make so much money....you have to be wealthy to even be considered, and if you are not, they aren't beyond humiliating you.
Why bother joining a resort crammed with elitist snobs and beaurocratic bores when you can camp out on the Guadalupe for less than $10, hop on an intertube and show off your nice Walmart swim suit while your cooler of beer floats downstream right beside you.
FORGET Canyon Lake's posh pools, gyms, and up-turned noses and save your hard earned bucks! Live wild and enjoy the NATURAL WONDERS of this great state...soon you'll forget all about the so-called "good life" people like Brandon Parker and Tammy Gibson try to scam you into...
To reach Tammy, call the number I left up top...for Brandon, feel free to dial 1-800-720-5621. He said we could call if we had any questions :D
And now, I feel 100% better about loosing the opportunity to win...HAHA!!
