Most likely... I was out at a Dance Club in Pittsburgh, Barroom. I got offered a free shot by 2 ladies walking around if I fill out a 3 line contest drawing. So i put down my email addy name and phone number. Well actually I put down my ladys number. haha. She got a call this evening stating Im one in 5 that got picked to win a PT Cruser, Dodge Durango or 25k in cash. I'll get a key and info in the mail on where to go in a couple weeks. I dont have to buy anything or sign up for anything. I really cant wait to read what comes in the mail as I know this is total BS.. Anyone else deal with this while out at a bar or where ever?

Re: Bar Scam??
Been to bars and clubs more times than I can count since I was 18, and have never heard of such a thing. Nashville has quite a selection on both bars and clubs so I have been to most of them, and never heard of that. Maybe it's real..'05 Arctic Blue Pearl Acura TSX

Re: Bar Scam??
Seems like a twist on an old marketing "fishing" game. Offer the mark a free trinket, drink, etc just "fill" out some quick info, and immediately you get a call about winning a car/vacation/etc. Probably would have to listen to a sales pitch for a product, time share, etc. No thanks.Comment

Re: Bar Scam??
Yeah, if you think about it..how can a company or whatever they are, give out free drinks and money and cars? What are they getting out of it? Your number and info to open up a sales pitch...But, I'll watch for the papers in the mail..Comment

Re: Bar Scam??
That's exactly what it is. It's called a "lead" and your info is sold to other boiler room operations who will call you with "You won a vacation! Only $298.00 for 4 days 3 nights in the Bahamas!"Originally posted by new2detailing View PostHeatgain (Gary)

Re: Bar Scam??
Well I talked in more detail to my wife about the call. I got the number they called from (740) 432-7855 Cardena Resort. Did a little internet searching on them. Others have complained about this complany as well. Our info was sourced from a car give away at our local mall. Thought the company hosting the car giveaway was legit. Guess not..
Nothing is free in this world..

Re: Bar Scam??
Glad to see some other Nashvillians on the forum. Like Lexus_Guy, I have never seen anything like this in my travels across the South. I have run quite a few bar promos and the best thing we gave out was $100. There are some things you can pickup in a bar, but $25K isn't one of them!NOTE: Post count does not reflect actual detailing knowledge.Comment

A way of getting leads that can be sold to many companies. Rent Glengarry Glen Ross. Good movie.Comment

Huh, no worries here in CA for that. Giving away alcohol is illegal...
