Freshco on St. Annes had a silent auction for Special Olympics. The starting bid was $200. Both myself and my friend bid the exact same number which was the starting bid of $200. I had heard rumours that this was a scam and wanted to see. Sure enough a few weeks later we both received a phone call from a woman telling us that we had won and that we had to give her our credit card info over the phone. What? I said no. I would never give my credit card info to a stranger. She said she would contact her company in Toronto as nobody had ever had a problem giving their credit card number. This was a warning bell. I asked why Toronto as the auction was for Special Olympics in Manitoba? She couldn't answer. I looked up her name. She doesn't work for Special Olympics. I reverse searched her phone number to an apartment that was pretty close to the Freshco location. She tried calling me a few times. She called my friend over a dozen times. Neither of us answered. I did more research. Some of this money may go to Special Olympics but this is a scam. This is not a fund raiser. It's a money maker. Very disappointed and telling everyone I know. I did donate money to Special Olympics in Manitoba. Any number you write down is a winner. Don't fall for it.
Desired outcome: Stop this scam or have better advertising. it is not an auction.
