"Won a trip to mexico " FRAUD...need legal advice?
|
I won a contest held in a club by a radiostation for a trip to Cancun. i was with my boyfriend at the time, and was told by the radio station reps that he would also be accommodated.
i had to contact them first. he gave me his card. my email was on the sheet that i won on, but then i emailed him. then after that i facebooked him and then we corresponded there
one of the reps, alerted me that he was in the hospital, and would do his best to accommodate me but most of my messages were ignored. finally i asked for the name of someone else i could speak with. This rep facebooked me as well and gave a faulty phone number to call. he let me know with three weeks before the "departure" that i would be free, but my three friends would have to arrange travel themselves (though they would get a slight discount)
it recently came out that the rep i was speaking too also owned a company that makes packages for students, and the whole thing is seeming very suspicious. I mentioned that it was too late to find 3 people to go, and that i had one friend who i wanted to go with me for free as well.
(whoever heard of winning a trip for one to cancun?)
he still hasnt responded and its been nearly two weeks. the number is faulty, and we have no idea any specifics for the trip. i was told by a lawyer that we could sue for fraud, but i cant afford a lawyer at the moment.
what should i do? is this fraud? do i have a case?

Please confirn from the radio station and then report the fraud to the police, as i feel that many more people would have experienced this fraud.
Please visit the following sites for guidance regarding where to report etc.,

if you paid nothing for any of this how can it be fraud? a contest is a game obviously there was more to it than a contest set up by the radio station it sounds more like a promotion that the advertisers paid for. I seriously doubt any radio station would jeopardize their credibility with trying to fake you out. |

You should first contact the radio station and let them know what has happened and give them copies (not the originals) of all documents you have from the guy. Also talk to the club owner or manager and get more info about what was going on that time, see if they were aware of the contest. Get all the info you can and then go to the radio station, then if no luck then to a lawyer. |
