Okay – I just found some info about this scam…
“By reading the Terms and Conditions of the ‘deal,’ you quickly discover that you and three friends that you refer have to complete a total of 13 ‘reward offers.’ These offers often cost money. Also keep in mind that your personal data will be shared with other marketers, sponsors, scammers – whatever you want to to call them! You are usually required to provide your name, address, phone numbers and date of birth.”

That’s a new one I have not seen Jennifer. Can’t say for sure but I would stay away if it is not from Disney World.

I received and facebook invite for Receive 4 Disney Land/Disney World Tickets FREE (Limited Time Only!) and you have to invite 50 friends for 1 ticket. Is this a scam?

Its still going on… 04/09/2012.
I just got this same phone call from a lady saying i won the exact same prize, my cost was only $270 a person, an additional 2 people are free? that doesnt make much sense how 2 people can be free, how would you make money?
i repeatedly asked her for a phone number for my spouse to call her back since she wasnt home and she would never answer me only start reading another line to entice me, then i started to ask for a cash value payout which she never answered only stared to read another line trying to entice me, i then asked for an email repeatedly with no response. She would just read another line in her speech manual to bring the owness back on me for ruining my spouses vacation if i dont immediately accept the offer and pay upfront on my credit card. Im no lawyer but legally that doesnt make much sense for me to be able to claim someone elses winnings, its like my friend winning the lotto and me claiming it even though their name is signed on the ticket.. lol. at this point i was getting a little annoyed and i asked for the contest website she signed up for it on and the lady only told me it was through hotmail. i googled the offer and found this site while on the phone with her, my fear of a scam was even more evident when i logged onto MSN and asked my spouse if they did sign up for it and they were as clueless as i was about it. At this point i repeatedly said we are going to decline the offer and the lady finally got the idea after the 5th time turning it down and she promply said “well, ok then we will forefit your vacation to another winner” and hung up on me. I doubt anything related to disney would always talk over you on the phone and be this pushy and condesending.

glad i didnt get ensnared in a scam.

I just received a call sayingg that I won a “disney” vacation thourgh hotmail from a contest I entered. Seeing I haven’t been on a computer in a very long time and when I am I know I haven’t entered anything. The second man I spoke this was very pushy and rude at the end when I started questioning things. There number came up in my caller I.d I live in Toronot Ont. Caanda and tthe number that came up was a 647 number, but they made it sound like they were in the states.

Same thing here in Montreal. But the winner was my 13 y old son, but the prize would be transferred to my husband and I. She (JEN) had all our info: telephone, address…Not sure from which number she was calling from.Maybe 1 877 338 0070
