Hello all! I have a question about the Silverleaf Hillcountry Resort at Canyon Lake near San Antonio.

My husband entered us into some contest that we apparently won. Obviously, I am extremely skeptical. It sounds like another scam I've read about. We're supposed to take a 90-minute tour of the Silverleaf Hillcountry Resort at Canyon Lake, then we scratch off some card and win a car, a trip, or money, and apparently we're guranteed a trip to Vegas or somewhere else.

This sounds like a huge scam to me, and I just wanted to know if anyone had any information on this.

Thanks in advance!

We stupidly did something similar years ago. Sure we "won" a trip to Las Vegas - 2 nights, weekday, bad hotel, for "just a small fee". Forget it!!!

sounds like a timeshare presentation

Haha, I did one of those too, at a Silverleaf resort near Tyler, TX. My husband humored me and went along, although he was sure it was a scam. We still laugh about how bad the place was, how poor the sale pitch was, etc, but I'd suggest skipping it.

Typical timeshare scam. Everyone who enters the contest (usually it's because you filled out a card and put it in a box at some store) is a "winner". You usually get "free" accomodations (3 days/2 nights) at the "Resort". Check in time is late afternoon on day 1, you have to attend the timeshare presentation on day 2 and you have to check-out early morning on day 3. In reality you only have one full day at the "Resort" and you spend 90+ minutes listening to the sales pitch. At the end of the presentation, you "claim" your prize - again everyone is a winner - you get the "trip" to Las Vegas (be prepared to pay some fees/taxes and handling charges for this previlege). The "trip" is actually just accomodations for a couple of nights at some hotel in Vegas (you pay own your way there and back). You end up wasting a lot of your time and spending good money for a "vacation" that is neither fun nor enjoyable.

Forget about it and remember if it sounds too good to be true it usually is a scam!!!!

Thank you everyone! That's pretty much what I figured. Nothing is free in life. (o: My husband and I are most definitely going to pass this "opportunity" up!
