I have been to Bali many times and knew all about the scam for timeshare. Hubby and I had some time to kill so we accepted on the of cards and surprise won. The guy was so excited cause he would get money to take us to the office. We went to the office they supplied return transfer to a hotel in Nusa dua. We were given lunch and drinks and a tour of the place. very nice. then came the hard sell. we listened and was then told if we wanted to seal the deal we would need to pay USD10,000. I was then asked what I did for a job. It was so funny when I told her, her jaw dropped and she said "I am not going convince to you to lock this is. I said no. I am a Business Analyst and do not make commitments to anything until I have all my sums with the pro's and cons. We scratched the rest of the card and won a couple of tshirts, then were taken back to our hotel. Hope the guy who gave us the ticket still got his bonus. I know our lunch and drinks were good. It filled in a few hours for us.
