minnesota sports show, rochester mn

Just got a call from them, saying that I won the door drawing..nice vacation to florida and the whole nine yards....only kick is, they wanted $500 to verify it was me... The real kicker is, they called my cousin 5 mins before me, and he hung up on them... cant these shows get into trouble for soliciting or scamming? I mean come on, there is no way both of us got drawn for it...

Been there, done that!!! Fishing trip to Canada is what they were claiming I won. Essentially what it turned out to be was some fishing outfit looking for business so they were claiming that you won a fishing trip at a 50% reduced rate or something like that so it made it look like your a winner. They called severall of us.

I would stay clear man.

A few years ago I went to the same show and got the same call, and so did my dad.
