I just got the gift cheque last April 23. What they are offering now is that you&#39;ll get to have a free accommodation at Regency Cebu and Davao. You have to confirm your booking atleast two weeks before your desired date. Then you have to pay a refundable 5k. <br /><br />I called their office and included 3 preferred dates and none of it where available. They were claiming that the slots are limited only considering that my dates are 2 months ahead. <br />This is a total waste of time. They are just luring people to attend to their stupid presentation.<br /><br />Can we possibly report this to any government organization?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26571240.post-832861385742118752012-05-08T14:17:49.076+08:002012-05-08T14:17:49.076+08:00I also got this call here in cebu, no fee, they will just offer me Free dinner with my wife and tour us around the hotel. tsk tsk.

She said I was one of the 15 couples who won during the bridal fair in PICC. They were one of the major sponsors daw. I have to claim my prize with my fiance daw but luckily, I told them my fiance is still abroad. They said I can contact them to claim my &quot;prize&quot; when my fiance arrives.<br /><br />I believed them.<br /><br />Come February, my fiance arrived and so I messaged them if my &quot;prize&quot; is still valid.<br /><br />They said it is still valid and that for us to claim it, we just need to bring our valid IDs. She also added that there will be no payment whatsoever on our part. They said there will be dinner and that our seat during dinner will be at the VIP table.<br /><br />This sounded fishy to me. Plus I googled if there was any promotions in the Crowne Regency website and found none. Also, I checked the bridal fair in PICC and did not find Crowne Regency listed as one of the major sponsors.<br /><br />Thank you for this post.<br /><br />This saved our time and effort. <br /><br />The number used was 09293138282.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26571240.post-44891352329080151862012-01-28T14:04:02.265+08:002012-01-28T14:04:02.265+08:00Thank for your blog..

Mother-in-law was the actual recipient of the &quot;Promo GC&quot; and since she&#39;s already in the province, she asked me to claim it for her.. Long story short,, Club Ultima got my number, and eventually went there last night.<br /><br />To start with, I do think that CU is a legit business, not a scam perse, its just that their Marketing Strategy sucks and not very appealing. The marketing assistant<br />herself admitted that going through Media Ads is a lot of money for them to invest, thus the method of giving out a false message of &quot;Raffle Winner&quot;.<br />The thing is, if somebody signs up at that very day,, a very large commission goes to the marketing assistant.<br /><br />No matter how they persuaded me to sign up for the offer, I didnt fell for it. I just claimed the GC and left the building.. Also, I doubt if we&#39;re going to use it anyway.<br />tgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26571240.post-91590354458760655042011-12-27T16:01:01.750+08:002011-12-27T16:01:01.750+08:00My Dad just got a text message and a phone call regarding this same scam this morning.. it&#39;s surprising that this scam has been going on since 2008 but it hasn&#39;t been stopped yet..

GC pick up is said to be 6 -8pm prior to that there is a video presentation with free dinner (?) to introduce the hotel...<br /><br />Thankful that this warning was posted. I didnt have to waste mhey time in going. This scam has been going on for years and it seems that hotel is not doing anything to stop it. They had allowed their name to be a lure to unsuspecting victims... it&#39;s a shame. Had been thinking of trying out their skyadventure in cebu, but now i changed my mind. Dont think it is worthwhile to stay in a hotel that allows itself to be used in such shameful scam...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26571240.post-2709099608783353722011-09-13T12:27:24.748+08:002011-09-13T12:27:24.748+08:00I didn&#39;t reply to this text nor make any calls to the number that was given. Still, I got persistent calls from different mobile numbers in the succeeding days. Then yesterday, I was waiting for a call when I accidentally answered an unknown call. So there, finally those persistent people were able to get hold of me. A certain GRACE MORALES was at the other end. She told me that I won a gift certificate (GC)for a 3-days, 2-nights free stay at any Crown Regency Hotel (except in Manila) in the Philippines and that I can even use the GC in Malaysia (at any of the affiliate hotels of Crown Regency). She told me to present a valid ID when claiming my GC at AIC Burgundy Tower, Ground Flr. She actually told me that the gift certificates will be awarded to the 15 lucky people today (September 13, 2011) at around 5:30pm and there will be dinner and a presentation. I told her is it possible to just let someone claim the GC on my behalf with an authorization letter from me. She told me I have to claim the GC personally. Then this lady kept emphasizing that I won&#39;t be shelling out any cash for this Crown Regency promo and told me that I can even leave my wallet at home when I claim my GC at their office. Also, she told me that all I can give back to them for the free stay at Crown Regency is to talk about my experience staying at Crown Regency and to entice my friends, family, relatives and other people to experience staying at Crown, too. The lady said that they were doing this promo instead of the usual magazine, newspaper and other media promo which were more expensive. Towards the end of the call, she asked me a question (that is, if I don&#39;t mind her doing so) if I make around 50thousand pesos or above a month. I couldn&#39;t remember exactly what she was saying because at this time I wasn&#39;t paying full attention already to her. But then the last part of the conversation was something different altogether. Why would she be interested in how much I make in a month? Oh well... I just told her that I don&#39;t have the time to claim my GC. And now the persistent calls are still bothering me...<br /><br />I made a narrative of my experience so other people will be informed, too. While I have no proof that this is a scam &#39;cause I didn&#39;t go to their office to claim the GC and attend the presentation, based on what I read from the others who posted here their own experiences, my instincts tell me that I better not go and claim the GC. Half scam, half promo... I think that&#39;s what it really is all about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26571240.post-8268111822489899602011-09-13T12:26:24.722+08:002011-09-13T12:26:24.722+08:00I filled up a &quot;raffle&quot; coupon in the Duty-Free Shop fastfood area last August 28, 2011. I was actually forcing myself to fill up one coupon just to accommodate a very friendly lady who went to our table. Many days later, I received many persistent calls from different mobile numbers on my mobile phone. I don&#39;t normally take calls from unknown numbers. My thinking is, if it&#39;s an emergency, I would immediately get a text message if he or she couldn&#39;t get me to reply to the call. Anyway, after receiving many phone calls for many days, I got two text messages on separate days from two different persons. Here&#39;s one text message which I got from +639166234495) on August 31,2011(copied word for word):<br />&quot;Goodmorning, my name is Ms.Gina frm the management of ASTORIA PLAZA HOTEL. and this is concerning with the stab that you sign-up at (DUTYFREE)We have good news for you. For more info kindly call our hotel number.637-96-72. Thank you.&quot;<br /><br />Being a very wary person about text messages like this, I did not reply nor call the number that was given. I already had an inkling that these people were the people calling me persistently the past few days.<br /><br />Then the second text message came last Sept. 6, 2011. This was the text message I got from +639167149166 (also copied word for word): <br /><br />&quot;GOOD DAY! This is from the Management of PUERTO DEL SOL BEACH RESORT &amp; HOTEL. This is with regards to your entry coupon that you filled up in one of our Promotional Exhibit held at DUTYFREE.

As much as I was very skeptical about it, it did make me very curious if there was a possibility of it being true since I&#39;ve checked-in at Crowne hotels for a number of times.
