Rec'd phone call asking about my DVC contract

[Caropooh]

Hang up, or, if a message is left, DONT call back....

I cannot tell you how many times I have gone to someones house who got the famous YOU WON THE NIGERIAN LOTTERY call!! They fall for it, and agree to meet someone to pay them the $5000 taxes!!! They seriously believe they won. So, my first question to them is "where did you enter this lottery." Usually I get a confused, blank stare. Next, "do you think the country of Nigeria has people in our city collecting money for them" Again that look...Then, just for good measure, I call them back, tell them who I am, and that I am looking forward to meeting them..I usually get a TON of profanity, followed by them demanding to let me talk to the victim, er, winner....I then ask the person who "won" if Publishers Clearing House would swear at them

Usually that seals the deal...BUT, every now and then, that person, after I leave, hands over a cashiers check for money to a couple of thugs that show up... Then they call back asking what they can do...Nothing now...You just gambled $5000 and lost...

Out of curiosity, who are you or what are you that people ask you about these?

So strange that someone posted this , we had 2 phone calls last week about selling or renting out DVC points . We have a unlisted number so I found it odd, we did not call back either time . I called DVC they said it was not them and I did not give it another thought after that. This makes me want to call the number back and see how they got our phone number . This is not he same phone number we had when we bought because we have moved.

I am a police officer.....

my Dh is a fireman and we have a lot of friends who are Police Officers ( ya know the police are the guys who failed the fire dept test bawwhwhawwwaa I know you guys say it the other way around LOL) and when we get together we hear alot of those stories. People really think if they send the 5K they will get 5 Million .

BTW you won your DVC??? Dang it they give the Cops all the good stuff and all the Fireman get is a $99.00 rate at the Swalphin

Yep, we did win lucky us...Maybe if firemen were awake when the mail came, they would win too

I've had two calls asking me if I wanted to rent out my DVC points. The first one took me by surprise and I just said "No". When I got the second call a few weeks later I responded "What is the Disney Vacation Club?" The woman responded that she thought I was a DVC member and I said "There must be some kind of mistake." Haven't had another call since then so maybe they took me off their call list!

We got 'em two...two different numbers. Message asking if we were interested in renting or selling our current timeshare.

We're not, and if we were...wouldn't do so with a random telemarketer.

I got a call yesterday asking me if I wanted to rent or sell my beach club timeshare. I said no way! And they thanked me and hung up. The call came from a company called Info Management on my CID. I just figured it was a timeshare reseller or renter company making cold calls off of a list of resales. They didn't ask me about my AKV (which we purchased directly from Disney). It didn't freak me out at all- i just thought it was a sales rep looking for business.
