Throughout the supposedly 75 minutes presentation, they did not reveal the price of the membership right until the very end and they didn't mention anything about "timeshare" throughout the presentation. Their tactics is to use two salesman - one good guy and the other a bad guy (manager). The good guy would get *scolding* and sarcastic remarks from his manager throughout this thing and I feel this is a scam to win some sympathy from the victims. Luckily in the end, we resisted their hardsell tactics and got away with 2 movie tickets. As for the supposedly free hotel stay, I won't even think about it.

Date Posted: Sat, Feb 21 2004, 2:51:14 Hi there, I'm glad to know freestyle do that.How'd I wish that more people wil do the same.What a sweet revenge for all of us especially the victims.Let me tell you my encounter. I am myself a victim of concepts vacation club.These happens somwhere November 2003.One day I received a call from the same company(NAC),saying I've won a lucky draw and the prize is a one week's stay at hotels/resorts in Australia or Miami(USA).I knew it's the same old trick,but anyway I and my wife go along with their scams,same thing-must collect at their office and must bring wife along.So as normal they start telling the boring old stories,I and my wife just look at each other and smile,smile,smile,a jeering kind of sorts.They offer the cash-back programme with all the goodies,we said no! not interested.As usual,they say this offer is good only today and I wont get any offer in the future.We replied No!No!No!-look each other and smile again.Then cam e the second man, nice guy of sorts,tried to psycho us saying he knows we are not interested from our body language,he claims he studied human behaviour and psychology.What a laugh a bullshit kind of thing.So we psycho back to him,since a nice guy can psycho a nice guy....insisting the promise of the draw prize.After much pursuasion he relented and bring us another floor upstairs,something like an excursion for us,he'd actually show'd us the offices,the presentation hall,it really brings back memories.And there we,ve got the prize.......and we left the place...exclaiming in our hearts "IT'S PAY BACK TIME SUCKER".And what happens,this nice guy actually see us home untill the exit doorway....pressing for us the elevator button....it's sure feels above the cloud...having a chaperone accompanying us. Know what! 5 days after that he called my handphone and said I should take the offer....blah!blah!blah!.I'd reply,...you don't understand english...I rejected the offer...why must you bother me?He said he was wondering why I did not take the offer and risking that the maintenance fees in Euros will increase.I knew he's some kind of stupid,my contract is CVC no maintenance required and stated clearly in the contract if I renew the membership will pay in US $ no mention about Euros or maintenace fees.Don't understand why he didnt get it after reading my contract when I show'd him the time we met.After all the company have my records and they can have access to it. rgds p.s- sure hope they will read this!!!!
