888-261-2595

i recived the same letter and those people kept calling my house until i got convinced and i told my parents we should go and my dad said yes and my mom said its a total scam and that it was a lie and they kept on telling me i won something and that those prizes and Guaranteed and that you get a card and scratch off the back and it says what you won and that you have to win something if not they give you the vacations or the $500 cash but its all a lie thanks everyone for making me realize what a waste of my time this was :)

I got this letter and I wasnt in the running for the car or big money, but did get the trip. They wanted me to buy some of the timeshare to be in the running for the car or $49,000. But all in all I did get the trip. Love it.

Received a blue unprofessional looking card from AVC with incorrect sequence of my name.  Glad I checked here.  Won't even waste my time.  Prefer to be dealt with directly and honestly - not be manipulated.

Got a blue card saying I won a new MERCEDES, BMW, or PORSCHE.
Number to call is : 1-888-261-2595
This is from:
Award Verification Center
6321 Blvd 26 Suite 450

I got one in the mail as well said call number 800-327-4614. No website or anything. The letter says it came from North Richland Hills TX. It does say at the very bottom in very small wording sponsored by Silverleaf Resorts for the purpose of soliciting vacation interval sales. I looked up Silverleaf Resortshttp://www.silverleafresorts.com Telephone: 214-631-1166
(Open Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. CST Silverleaf Resorts, Inc.

Wish it was all true. I could use a vacation...:)

Got the same blue card but the # on mine is 1-800-327-4614.
I love the 72 Hour notice, like they have someone watching my house to see when I look at it in order to start my own personal timer with them. Now that I think about there has been a strange guy driving by every afternoon when I get the mail, wait, never mind, it's just my neighbor.

Just received a letter from AVC travel mentioning that I won $49000, or New Macrcedes, BMW or blah blah.. u name it.. This time it said, both me and wife won this.. LOL.. I think time has come for these stupid guys to waste their time.. They cant fool the world like this..

Interestingly, they called us few weeks back - their mistake we both got call from same company on the same time on our mobile phones.. Stupid fellows...

I WENT TO THE LOCATION, it was 45 min away from me. I get  there and realize there are hundreds of people holding the exact same letter and boarding pass. So I proceeded inside and they take your personal info name, employment, how much u makend, etc. at the time I was unemployed, so they immediately said I was disqualified and took me to.a separate room when I ask about THE so called prizes I was guaranteed to have won no purchase required so this lady took me in her office to SCRATCH OFF A BOGUS LOTTERY TICKET. AND SAID IF YOU GET SO MANY MONEY BAGS YOU WIN ONE A PRIZE THAT ONLY INCLUDED THE VACATION, NO CAR MONEYOR SHOPPING SPREE. .. I LEFT EMPTY HANDED I WANTED TO PUNCH HER IN HER FACE.

Everyone states it is a gimmick, but has anyone actually gone

same here wait did yall's say like youve one 49,000 dollars or a mercades porche and a bmw

same here wait did yall's say like youve one 49,000 dollars or a mercades porche and a bmw
and i got mine today
  are these people lieing??

I also recieved a letter from the individuals while recieving about 4 calls a day average, while never answering any of them. about 2 wks of this was all i could take so i called Silverleaf resort at817-525-1024 and got a person by the name of Andrea. She agreed to remove my name from the call list.The letter i got in the mail came from the same company as the rest of the people that have replied AVC Travel. 6321 Blvd 26, Suite 450. North Richland Hills. Tx 76180. Just curious.\, Has anyone ever won a prize from the people. lol

it looks like people that went to the presentation walked away with atleast the minimum they told they would, I think the people that complained about this resort ended up purchasing a time share unwittingly, I have an appointment for Sunday and do plan on attending, if I walk out with a trip to Vegas and $500 cash for 90 minutes of my time on a Sunday then I am making out, if I go there and get nothing then yes I will come back and admit that I got scammed and I am gullible ,
Either way I will let you all know what happened so some questions will finally get answered from people who just want to know if the prizes are legitimate.
I know I do not intend on buying anything, I am in sales now so if anything I will try and sell them something.

Apparently AVC is up to it again.

did you win any thing by going to that long 90 min resort thing
tell me about it
email me at pepe911texas@hotmail.com

i check my email more at that email

My story is a little different from the other ones here. I filled out a raffle ticket at my local mall a couple months ago, and didn't win. However, I was entered into a secondary drawing for Silverleaf Resorts. I didn't get any response for about four months, until I got a call from the 800 number in question. They asked me to stay for a 90 minute seminar (sales pitch), but if I did, I would also be given a cruise on top of the scratch ticket (which is what the guaranteed prize is based around). Additionally, they offered me a $40 gift card for coming by on a week day; and since my grandmother lives very near the resort they directed me to, I knew in my case it wouldn't be a sketchy office complex or travel agency. I can't speak for anyone else in that regard.

My experience at the resort was about what you would expect. About 15 other 'prize winners' with a sales person for each group, and a tour of the facility to show off the accommodations. The 'seminar' lasted just over 2 hours, and the tour was another 45 minutes. When I declined the offer of the first salesman, one of the managers was sent over and gave me a Very aggressive sell. They had one of those, "we will do whatever it takes to make a deal, right here today" attitudes. However, after I refused a final time the relented and sent me over to the prize redemption office. The odds of winning the grand prize are 1:25000 according to the fine print of the confirmation email, but you are guaranteed one of the lesser prizes. I ended up getting the week long vacation package, but it's entirely the luck of the draw.

I haven't been on any of the trips yet, so I can't vouch for their quality. However, their angle is legitimate, and if you can put up with some aggressive salesmen, it'll probably be worth the effort.

Give us AVC fax number and I will be happy to fax the letter I recieved to you

They told me the same thing. Scratch to find your prize. 49,000, BMW, vacation or 500. The thing is they told me I can go and just pick up the prize. They said I could go tot he timeshare seminar but it was not a requirement. They said if I go I would get an extra vacation on top of the grand prize. How do you think they would scam without forcing you to the seminar? I made them verify that I would not have to do to any time share crap.

I just got the same letter today saying I won $49k or a Mercedes! LOL...they must have lots of money to be giving away this many cars and loads of cash!  what a SCAM!!!...If they call your cellphone, call your cellphone provider and have them blocked.  That's what I have to do for them to stop calling.
