This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I filled out a ballot at the Ukrainian Festival at a car dealership booth, knowing after I had read the back of the ballot that I was signing them the right to call my phone number.

Received multiple phone calls from the company, they were very persistent. When I finally did pick up the phone they said I had won one of three prizes, and in order to receive them all I had to do was sit through a 90 minute comedy show, what a deal! I attended the presentation as I figured I had nothing to lose.
The "show" was no comedy show, it was a presentation for Premium Buyers Club. The presentation only lasted about 3 minutes. They were asking for a $15, 000 membership fee that lasted for 50 years... With this membership we were promised unbelievable discounts at multiple retail stores. Clearly a scam.
After the presentation, I spent the rest of the evening sitting down with a sales associate who knew I was not interested in the offer.
I was given a coupon as I left, to redeem at productclaimcenter.com. My prize options were a netbook, a tablet, or a blueray player - the brands weren't specified. I could even receive all three prizes, if I paid separate shipping and handling for each. This is the second part of the scam. Once you've registered the prize code on the website, you're brought to a print-out version of the form:

Do not fall for this scam.

same scenario for me and now they are putting a lien on my house! I never did receive the promo products and never purchased anything thru them as I found better deals elsewhere. So far with the membership costs and a mortgage that was not delivered --- they think I owe them $10, 000 more dollars... THIS IS A SCAM
