I went to the Taboo Naughty But Nice Show last weekend. Today I got a call for someone (Harry Church?) claiming to be offering vacation promotions, based on my attendance at the show. In less then a minute he was asking for my credit card information. This set off my "This-is-a-scam" meter so hard it broke the needle.

Now maybe they're legit and maybe they're not, but it sure seems hinky to me. Be warned that if you attended the show, you're likely to get called by these guys too.

I didn't think of it at the time, but I've heard (IANAL) that if you get them to physically mail you the offer, it's far more likely to be on the up-and-up. If they refuse, it's probably because they don't want to run afoul of mail-fraud laws. Is it true? I don't know, but it's all sounding a lot like these guys.
