I get a letter in the mail saying this T. J. Johnson & Assoc. wants me to evaluate a free Tablet computer.  I would receive this Tablet absolutely Free.  In order to get the Free Tablet I have to call a certain telephone number.  Which on the letter I received was a local phone number and ended up being a place called Global Connections(they sell expensive travel packages similar to Time Shares).  I called the phone number and they schedule a time and day for me to come in.  Also, in the letter, it says something about watching a short film or something like that.  Please excuse me for not remembering exactly since it was last August and I had to bring the letter with me and turn it in when I went.  So, I don't have the letter any more.  Any way, they let you bring a guest with you, so I did.  It turns out this is a sales pitch to purchase a Vacation Package(similar to a time share) that costs several thousands of dollars.  They take you in a room with other people and tell you about the Vacation Package(a seminar type thing).  Which they are trying to make this package deal out to be something spectacular(until they tell you the price).  This lasted about an hour and a half to two hours.  Then they have someone(a sales person) take you as you are walking out of the room(after the presentation is finished).  They take you to another room and try to sell you Vacation Packages.  When you won't buy from them, then they have one of the Supervisors come over and try to sell to you.  I didn't have the money and kept telling them I wasn't buying anything.  And, they want you to buy right there.  Once you leave and don't buy any of their packages they want nothing to do with you.  Once the selling was over with, they asked me what I was promised for coming in that day.  I told them I was told I would receive a free tablet and a free vacation.  So, they printed me off a form that I had to fill out and send in within 10 days to be able to get the free tablet and free vacation(which I never received).  I filled it out that same very night and mailed it the next day.  So, I know they received it in time. 

That was last August 2012.  It is now May 2013 and I haven't received anything.  Well, except I keep getting all these phone calls from phone numbers I don't know.  800, 866, out of area numbers, private, numbers, etc.  Just about every day I receive 10-20 phone calls from these numbers.  I don't answer and they don't leave a message.  I have since learned that they sell your phone number to other sales places.  I've tried finding a phone number, address, email address, anything to find out why I never received what I was supposed to.  But, it seems these places are really hidden.  All I can find is a P.O. Box address.  I wrote a letter (actually 2) and sent them to the P. O. Box address but never received any replies.

Please, if you receive this letter or anything like it, don't fall for it.  Its a scam.  You will have to sit through a long sales presentation and high powered selling.  And you won't get what they promise you or tell you your supposed to receive for going.
