  First post, and a curious one at that...
  
  Received a call from some lady from some weird ass store in International Building, saying I won a consolation prize for some sort of lucky draw thingy. She even re-assured me that it wasn't Time Share. She even asked if I was free this evening at 6.45 to drop by to "claim my prize". Sounds like a scam. Anyone else experienced this before, or am I forgoing a free one night's stay at Sentosa?

  juz dun be greedy. No free lunch in his world.. wat lucky draw? U dun even noe the store! They juz randomly searched for ur name using a system. I remember once, a salesman called and say that my father won a lucky draw..I asked him how he got my father's name and contact, he admitted that they randomly selected from a list. Then I told him my father already passed away, he was very sorry.

  Normally you will be informed by letter (mail) and just a phone call and ask u to go down within 24 hrs.
  
  And also, claiming of prizes are normally during office hours. How come so specify need to be 6.45. DEFINITELY a time-share and force you to sign up or buy things. Don't be stupid to believe them.
