Posted by eternitybride

I am not sure if its a scam per say, but I think I get that call about 8 times a year. They want you to come in and look at stuff they are selling, but I never have

yea... you usually have to buy stuff to get the prize

what a waste of my time... i guess im not calling back.. if its not free, im not interested.

Supposely this is what I 'won' http://chefworldinc.com/promotions.html

whatever i dont believe this lady

When I was 18, I got conned into taking a summer job with them. It's a giant pyramid scheme. We had to go to the city everyday and make girls fill out little cards and anyone who was engaged or recently married won. Then we had to call and tell them they were winners, but first we had to go to their house and give them a 2 hour shpeil. At that time it was a vacation to mexico or jamaica... You did get something free out of it, I forgot, maybe just airfare or hotel, but it was not completely free. I don't know anyone who actually went on the vacation as the only people who I sold products to was my parents and my grandmother. LOL I'm the worst salesperson ever. They sell over priced china, pots and pans, knives, water filters and stuff like that.
The knives are actually very good, my mom bought them.
If you are willing to sit through the sales pitch, go ahead. You don't have to buy anything to get the prize, but the prize is not 100% free.

Ok, so the same people have called me several times with all different names, Chef World, 21st century, etc, etc.

It's not a scam per se, but you do have to sit through a 90 minute high-pressure sales presentation to get the gifts, and I've heard some people have even had trouble booking the trip and had to give a 'deposit'. I'd rather pay for my own 2 hotel nights and call it a day

I got the same call on Sat and never called back sounded like they wanted to sell me stuff and the closest hotel it was for was in AC. It ***** too because I got so excited when she said I won something
