People usually think of 'going down for a talk' or 'just to listen'. But they end up paying out of their pockets or signing up GIRO deduction forms which have been prepared and made available on the spot.

I received a call from GSI yesterday. A guy called Vincent told me they'r new setup and if i like to go for Cruise, as their package are priced competitively. I replied him that i dun mind cruises and he started asking me some questions like my job, income, age, marital status and thereafter he thank me for my time and hung up the call.

The next day at 11am i received his call..i was still sleeping actually. He told me GSI will want to give me 3 gifts which's the China Trip and 2 other gifts I can't remember.
He say he'll be giving me a presentation about the prices and offers they've and it'll be at Delphi Orchard. I asked if this is like TimeShares, he didn't pay attention to my question and continued guaranteeing that they'll not bluffing me and the gifts are really free, the talk is just presentation and no obligations needed..

I was v.quiet and he overassure too much that it made me feel suspicious of the whole matter. So i asked him, since it's purely free he can mail the freebies over and i needn't make my way to "barter trade" my time with a presentation b4 the "prize" is awarded isn't it. I told him i'll think about it and give him a call when i'm keen.

He asked,"what time will u be calling?". It sounded pushy to me...actually from the way he talks, it's really promising no oligations, 1 hour, you've nothing to lose...these tactics reveal further on his 'desperateness' to 'lure' me to attend the talk...and i knw i'll be "dead-meat'' by then. Haha..

Politely i make my stand v.clear,"I'll call you by today if i'm interested. Thanks."
and i hung up. Thereafter i tried to search for GSI in internet yellow pages..in such simple website, GSI can't be located. I got uneasy and went into yahoo
and typed in GSI to see if there's blogs like this where i can identify my plight with others...Phew, am relieved after browsing through the encounters people have had with them and thanks for kindly sharing them! At least, i've a clearer understanding, i've not attended the talk hence i can only comment that,"there's no such thing as a free lunch." Just be careful out there folks!
