Yesterday morning I received a call from from someone named Sophia, telling me she’s from PGU (I forgot what the acronym means) and that their company recently had an electronic raffle draw and I was one of the winners.

I was told I do have a freebie/prize item waiting for me at Home Sonic Appliance Center Starmall, Alabang branch, and that I should claim it as soon as possible.

I already knew it was utter bullshit because I never joined any raffle draw. But I let her go on with her drivel, and I just half-listened; because you know, I like wasting some people’s time. Like, the kind of people who tried to waste mine. :p

It was a good thing that I the phone is one my desk, right beside the laptop. So while the person was trying very hard to convince me to come to Home Sonic, I was already searching for them on Google.

Below are other blogs and forums discussing about the Home Sonic scam.

Of course I didn’t drop by their store. I have no plans to.

But not more than 20 minutes ago I received another call from Sophia, telling me she wanted to follow-up her call from yesterday, and that if I have already claimed my so-called prize.

I won’t fall prey, Home Sonic. I’m not easily duped. So please stop calling me already.
