In reply to: Glen 's message, "Apricot Consortium in cahoots with timeshare company?" on Sat, Aug 06 2005, 2:28:36

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....
