Has anybody used simplygreatgifts.com? (Global Vacation Network)

Jan 24, 2013 3:03 AM

I recently received a letter (in the mail!) claming that I have been invited to receive an android tablet computer. I am supposed to complete a survey when I am done testing it, but supposedly I can keep the tablet even if I don't. It claims that there's no obligation to pay, purchase or subscribe to anything to receive my tablet. They claim there is no cost for shipping and handling, either. I was given an 888 phone number and a pckage code.

So is this too good to be true, or something I should check out? It smells of a scam but I'm curious as to how.

Have no personal experience w/them. Just did a google search on Global Vacation Network - suggest that you do the same. Doesn't look good - though I did not open any of the 'scam, complaints' links. Caveat: Since I did not read any of the links, feel free to disregard this post. ;-)

Wow, they might as well have just put "This is a Scam" on the envelope in big, red letters. Please throw that letter away.

According to the website its one of those presentation type things. You have to attend and sit through the 90 minute presentation, they do their time-share (or whatever type of thing they are doing) spiel and afterwards you receive your free gift. It says to qualify you must have a verifiable income of no less than 40K, and be between the age of 25-70. You MUST bring your partner with you if you live with a spouse or a domestic partner... blah blah blah.

If you read the Terms they are doing business under the legal entity of "Infinity Incentive Group" located at this P.O. Box:

Infinity Incentive Group, P.O. Box 3479, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86405
www.infinityincentives[dot]com

Which is also used for these other companies (which do the exact same thing):

www.perfectselectrewards[dot]com/contact_us.html
gvnrewards[dot]com
redeem.marketforcerewards[dot]com

I'd personally stay away. The above websites have a ton of complaints if you Google them.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
