I got a phone call..

from 21st Century Concepts saying I had just won a bridal package from them & a trip.

Is it a hoax? Or should I call back? lol

I haven't gotten a call like that. I am not sure. Call and if it isn't true you can always hang up.

Re: I got a phone call..

Re: I got a phone call..

Sweetie, I got the same call, I was so excited to go on my tropical trip. I posted the same bulletin as you and I got sooooo many replies saying that it is a scam. Do a look up under 21st Century and you will see. If have to stay in a seminar for like 3 hours and buy thousands of dollars worth of stuff or something like that and the trip has sooo many exclusions. Its BS

call back and say, 'Do i have to pay ANYTHING for what you are about to tell me?' if they say yes, you dont need to continue the conversation

Re: I got a phone call..

it's a scam! just research 21st Century and you'll see that they give out 'prizes' all the time...they try and scam you into buying stuff from them.

Don't go...it's a waiste of time....

My FH and I went to 'claim our prize' and you get some hotel deal that you can add onto your honeymoon, but you have to sit through a 2 hour presentation on totally outrageously priced pots and pans.

It was a waiste of our time, and the prizes that you can order online are really crappy.
