Some info on a variety of cons and scams to help you protect yourself from falling victim to one yourself !
Dreamshare International engaged in what is commonly referred to as a “Christmas scam” to defraud consumers during the holiday season.
They ran a series of misleading quarter page ads in a major metropolitan area newspaper beginning in November which pictured a Lamborghini Diablo priced at $250,000 and the suggestion you purchase the “unique Christmas gift” of a test drive in the car beginning at a minimum of thirty minutes for $95 and up to $400 for three hours.
The ad also promised you a free sixty minute test drive in a Dodge Viper if you purchased a minimum of a one hour test drive in the Lamborghini.
An investigation into the ad determined that Dreamshare International did not own or have access to the Lamborghini displayed in the ad and did not own or have access to a Dodge Viper. The investigation also disclosed that they had paid for the ads with bad checks totaling $32,000 and had gone by different aliases in past scams.
