    Got it in a pop up just there, a mate of mine rang one up a few months ago and it appears he is going to Florida, he has been sent info and all, tho ill believe it when i see him fly out of Dublin

    Anyway, i ring up

    "Claims dept"
    "Eh yeah, how much is this call costin me?"
    "Eh, what country are you calling from?"
    "Ireland"
    "Where?"
    "Ireland"
    "Ireland? Well, you only some poor **** anyway" *hangs up*

    I just read the small print on the pop up "You have won a FREE 2 Days 2 Nights Carribean Cruise Vacation *small*with reservation of Florida USA holiday"

    Ah, so it was a scam to get you to ring and BOOK a holiday, and if you didnt bother they still get a few euro out of the time wasted

    But why hang up on me? Is it some scam by a crowd who think we have the money we had in the 80s and arent even worth ripping off? His accent was hard to pinpoint, possibly white south african. Odd sh1t whatever happened

    Anyway, if you deplore anti irish racism ring the folks at
    001 407- 262- 4160

    Show them they cant bring a brotha down like dat!



    Have any of yis ever got anythin proper out of those ring for your prize stuff?

    So they're a scam that makes money from you ringing them. And you want us to ring them?
