Had calls to the homestay 3 times yesterday. A lady asking for me. Quite strange as we had only given our details to massage lady and restaurant.
Was in the room for the final call in the evening - a lady on the phone put me through to the real caller, a man with very good English. He stated that there was a weekly prize draw of 50 international travellers through Denpasar airport to try and increase tourism. 48 got tours etc but a lucky 2 got a free weeks holiday. Guess who was one of the lucky 2?
All I had to do was go the head office in Denpasar and collect my voucher.
I declined this offer but would have been interesting to see what the angle was, timeshare etc. have never been cold called like this before and only my immigration and customs paperwork had the homestay details.
Has anyone else been called like this?
