Free Draw Scam At Camping World Burlington WA

I for one am getting real sick and tired of this abuse. Sad that so many just say oh well and accept companies using their personal information without consent.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. However, I think it is a long stretch to call normal marketing tactics 'abuse'. Nobody has to sign up for the (not really) free drawing so there is no abuse put on anybody. Maybe the better words would be 'agressive marketing strategies' instead of 'abuse'. The RV time share folks most likely asked CW to help with a $500 prize (retail price) that really costs about $250 in store cost to acquire names of RVers that are customers of the store. And the store agreed. And many of the stores customers also agreed since the OP indicated that the box was full. I just don't see any real duress or abuse here. Since the OP did not ask what would happen with the names in the drawing, the store did not share that. Isn't there culability on on both sides? If you don't ask you don't get.

I am certainly not sticking up for CW or the marketing strategies and have long ago passed on the free meal offered by those time share developers/sales force personnel since I can eat the cheap meal in a half hour and don't need to listen to a four hour presentation on something I have no interest in acquiring. This has been a good learning curve for the OP and next time he might pass on the not free really drawing. Whether we like these strategies or not I doubt they are going away anytime soon.
