sales scam?

Post by shibaman »

I got an invite to my local Pontiac dealer to see the new cars. They send you a scratch off car for prizes to get you there. I won a $1000 shopping spree on the WSN web site. World shopping network. All they have on it is junk-nock off stuff. I an not sure if it is worth my time to go or not? Has any one else received one of these?

I've never even heard of WSN. Sounds like a dealership gimmick.

the dealerships do that here too... to get people to walk in their doors. right now the biggest gimmick is cal worthington ford and giving a free dvd player to anyone who buys a car/truck from any dealer as long as they come there first. then they have to buy a car/truck w/i 24 hrs of them registering.... even if you buy from some other dealer... it's a big hoax, but seems to get people in the door.
