Answer:
Please - do NOT let them come near you!!! They are lying - there will be a vacation - but it will have endless fine print and strings attached and WILL NOT be free. It will cost you and it will only be given to you if you HAVE BOUGHT their product. They are cheats and scamsters - just above the law to not be prosecuted - but doing ONLY themselves a favour - not you as a consumer.

Once when I was young and more optimistic, I responded to a thing like that. (Except I was sure I had filled out the thing they were talking about, and they wanted me to go to an inane talk about vacation timeshares.) The free vacation turned out to be that they would pay for your stay at a resort for a few days, but you had to pay to get there and pay for your meals while you're there, which is hardly free. Oh, and activities weren't included, so if I wanted to do anything besides lie around and read or watch TV, that would cost more too. Plus they wanted a $50 "booking fee" and I was only allowed to pick out certain times of the year that weren't peak season. So I did the math and figured it would cost me about $700-900 to take a 3 day "free" vacation at a time that wouldn't necessarily be convenient to a place it would never have occurred to me to want to go in the first place. *eye roll* Live and learn.

It sounds like Kerby vacuum cleaners. It's a really good product but it's expensive. And the free vacation is probably free only if you decide to sell them yourself or buy the vacuum.

Yes, it's a scam. Think of it. If you owned a company, would you spend thousands of dollars giving people free vacations for two and all you would expect in return is for them to listen to your pitch? That doesn't make sense and any company doing business this way would be out of business real soon.

Don't do it. No such thing as a free lunch, or in this case, a free vacation. They'll steal your money. Trust me, I've seen it happen.
