My family recently attended the Luxton Fair near Victoria B.C. My daughter and wife each filled out an entry form at a Future Shop booth for a draw on a $4oo gift card at FS. Four days later I got a call from a NewYork number and the caller asked if I had recently attended theFair, I confirmed, and then said I had won a draw on a Bahama’s cruise, and would I please give her my credit card number “to register my prize”. Since I have not recently fallen off the back of a turnip truck, I told her that this must be a scam. My daughter received the same type of call, same NY number, the next morning. It is obvious to us that FS sold our info to this scam company. I did some research and i found out that this bunch in NY is under investigation for wire fraud involving a similar scam. I can’t believe that FS, even with its highly questionable business practices, would be involved in an international fraud scam. how low can they sink?

Futureshop had nothing to do with the fair.
They donated a gift card. It’s the Luxton Fair you should be mad at.
That’s like saying that if I buy a gift card from Home Depot, give it to you, then punch you in the face, that Home Depot is to blame.
Apparently you have recently fallen off the back of a turnip truck.
Idiot.
Well, since the OP took it upon himself to get my email, and start harrassing me, I guess he deserved what he got. Kind of Ironic.
I posted on a third party forum.
You got my information and abused it.
I blame you my friend, not the forum.
Grow up. This is the f***ing internet.
Something to say?
