I Won a Car or a Trip!
Look! This boarding pass has my name on it, and it’s leaving from MY hometown! I can get a Cruise or an exotic island adventure. I’ve definitely won a new Mercedes, BMW or Porche! It says so right here!
Oh lordy, we’ve all gotten this trash in the mail. Yes, I said it.. TRASH! I hate this stuff. It comes in the mail quite frequently. But how do you know it’s trash? This is yet another area where the internet is your friend!
Whenever you get something unsolicited in the mail (this includes the EMAIL!) or on the phone, NEVER respond to it. But if it captures your interest, at least check to see if it’s legitimate. Do this by going to google.com (or your favorite search engine) and putting in any pertinent information you can get from the mail.
My mail was from “AVC travel” so I went to my search engine and typed in: “AVC Travel” (with the quotes, in order to look for the two parts together) into the search bar. Here are the results. As you can see, right off I learn that I do not have a car or a trip. Just doing a little clicking, I find out that this company is a time share seller.
Always question anything that comes to you which you did not specifically request. This includes mail, email, telephone calls and people who come to your door. Use the internet to make sure you don’t get scammed. Or at least to be sure that you are getting what you expect to be getting.
Good luck out there in Wide World!
