] Date Posted: Tue, Aug 23 2005, 22:54:44 In reply to: Glen 's message, "Apricot Consortium in cahoots with timeshare company?" on Sat, Aug 06 2005, 2:28:36 I receive my call on 11 july. Excatly same as thread starter on the prize given. My immediate responce was asking the lady where she got my details from. She never reveal anything but instead told me I did participate in a lucky draw which I was very sure I did fill in one at california fit...CF I made a call to CF for a complain and within the very day I get another call from aprocot consordium trying to clarify nonsence with me, yes I said that as nonsence. I hung up the phone without saying much. I made another call to CF and this time round I wanted them to explain to me, why my informations can be leak from their company which is suppose to be confidential. The lady at CF took told me the never expect such things to happen too as apricot is the event organiser. So what I can conclude from this is, all those participating company or lucky draw sponsor are being make use by this aprocot for the timeshare activities. For more than a week the lady at apricot kept on calling me which finally she resort to using her hp and called me! guess what she said? something like this.. "hello Mr... can you just help me by coming down? you need to pay for anything i gurantee, just be there for a good 80mins then take your free gifts and leave. If you do that you are helping me to earn some comission, just take it as helping me will you? Without people like you all out there, customer service reps like us will have no money to eat. And our job is just to find people to come over to faber house to listen to the travel talk other than that it got nothing to do with us as long as we get comissions. please are you coming.....please.........." After she finished all her nonsence, I insisted no and she hang up. well terrible isn't it? so bitchy! sounds like a prostitute begging for customer. after that the following day I received her sms...I still have her number with me and I will keep it should someone call me from there again so I know who to look for. Anyway to all out there here is their website which was given to me when I asked. http://chance-of-a-lifetime.com/index.htm And california fit...logo was taken off the very day after I complained! So everyone, go ahead and complain if you remember which company you filled your lucky draw coupons, see if that company logo/name is being make use by apricot consor..! No doubts they are doing real lucky draw organising but they are also using customer details for timeshare! If there are more complains, I am sure those companies will not use apricot consordium anymore and hence chance for them to do timeshares!

Date Posted: Wed, Aug 31 2005, 16:45:21 31st Aug 2005 (2.30pm) I have just received a call from a guy with number: 63392724. The starting was the same.... I participated in a lucky draw, win a prize, etc.... They even fax me an official invitation letter and guarantee that I would receive one of the following: 1) A S$700 furniture voucher 2) A 42" plasma YV valued S$3500 3) NEC Laptop computer valued S$2100 4) Free travel & Spa voucher valued S$700 A special complimentary gift of "MP3/Discman Player" awaits all personal cresdit card holders. The credit card holders are required to show their credit card to their sponser's registration counter to qualify. The timeshare takes place at exhibition hall at 230 Orchard Rd, #06-234, Faber House, S(238854) and will last about 80 minutes after which we will receive the gifts. They even mentioned that there is no any obligation to acquire or purchase anything. The guy asked me to go to the place at 5.30pm today. I don't think I will attend the timeshare..... Immedaitely, I check through internet to find out what is this "Apricot Consortium"? I suppose this must be a timeshare and gonna waste my time if I am not interested... I found this VoyForum which posted about this "Apricot Consortium". Thanks VoyForum and everyone who shares their experience here.... At least these experience will be a reference for whom who wish to know more..... I received this similar call before and had attended once in last year. Initially, I rejected few times and the lady keep calling me and request me to help and promise to give me a free gift with spending only 30 minutes, etc..... I was terrible busy that time and finally arrange my time to have a look there on one of the Saturday. I received a "cheap watch" and wasted 30 minutes. I insisted to leave after 30 minutes as I had another appointment..... Once again, thanks for everyone who shares their experience here.... [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
