Acquaintance: Banal. Domodedovo airport". Departure for rest. Reseption. It was time to yawn. A woman approached and offered to participate in the drawing of prizes from La Costa. I agreed, and the next day, I forgot already on vacation, and my wife and the card were thrown away ... A month and a half later: a call to a mobile phone with a message about winning prizes (TV, a camera, a certificate in the amount of 1000 euros - this will allegedly be drawn directly at the presentation! I was skeptical about this message: I don’t really believe in all kinds of free drawings and gifts, and for a week and a half I in every possible way, under any pretext, refused to participate in the presentation at which I was promised at least a gift.It’s all the fault of our person’s charge for “freebies”, although I can hardly attribute myself to them (I have not had stories like “MMM” in my life).
Internally, I resisted this promise, but the girls from the call-center work very confidently on previously prepared phrases (in the sense of giving out promises) - it's just a “song”. In general, in the end, they persuaded me (big hello to Anzhelika Tsareva) to come with my wife (such a rule) to this presentation.
Presentation. The place where this “action” was carried out (I can’t say otherwise) is quite secretive, in the backyard of the railway tracks in the area of the Belorussky railway station. The buildings of the entire complex most likely belonged in the recent past to production workshops, still of Soviet construction. Anyway. Inside, it should be noted quite comfortable and presentable.
There were a lot of people in the hall where the registration and questioning took place, waiting for an invitation to the presentation (representatives call it a club vacation, where they try in every possible way to immediately find out the mood for making a decision to join the club, which is also annoying !!!!)
Our turn has come: A nice girl with a smile and a handshake introduced herself as Katerina, before entering the presentation hall, she was asked to turn off the phones (I don’t understand for what purpose - loud music drowned out not only the calls if they were heard, but also the conversation at the table ...) . In the third minute of the conversation, I was already ready to get up and leave and almost did it (we were asked for an answer: are we ready to make a decision today to join the club with the deposit of funds !!!!
), but immediately, with the raised hand of our consultant, another one came to the rescue, apparently more psychologically prepared and brought us into a more moderate orbit for a conversation ... and this went on 3 or 4 times. Questions were asked: about our vacation abroad (the only pleasant impression in our conversation), with a constant interest in our prosperity (how much? What, how much? How much our expenses are possible?) Then these figures were offered for a possible calculation of our vacation. It was very funny to watch them (3 or 4 people approached them as consultants), their reaction when we did not go to their proposals, undisguised notes of irritation slipped through.
It was necessary, it was necessary to leave immediately, but it was already becoming curious: how it would all end. When you try to get up and leave, they were immediately ashamed of being uncivilized, and so on.
In general, it ended as follows: at the next circle of the story about what the club is good for and how profitable it is, and so on.
And when answering the question “Why can’t you find some 40 thousand?” We answered once again that our plans do not coincide with yours, and therefore this performance must be completed. They got up and left. They left without a gift, which, apparently, did not wait for many of those present, whose faces seemed to be fooled after this exhausting presentation.
This meeting left a very unpleasant impression. It seems that we have met with another wiring, and quite aggressive in terms of marketing, with good staging, distribution of roles and a "gypsy smell".
CONCLUSION: Do not believe phone scammers who subtly try to inspire the caller about happiness that has allegedly fallen on his head, lure him into a fairy tale about a good life. Do not think about "freebie"!!! Free cheese, only in a mousetrap.
