In article <546241C2.4080802@concordia.ca> you write:
>"Vacation Breeze" is a company operating here in Honolulu that is

To save, time, you can assume with a very low error rate that all time
share/condo/vacation promos are scams.  If the product they're selling
were any good, they wouldn't need to bribe you to sit through a sales
pitch.
