i was invited to hemmingway safari africa's HQ at alausa to pick up my free voucher for $1,200 (to cover lodging in any country of my choice). the hemingway rep spoke to promised that the voucher was redeemable in any country, all i had to do was attend the seminar with my spouse. i did after a very long and appallingly obvious sales pitch. the agents present tried to coerce us into parting with a sum of over 4 million naira for some holiday package over the next 20 years 9can't really give the details of the package because i was only interested in my free voucher. lol! i must mention that i specifically asked the agent if the voucher applied to the U.A.E, I was assured it did). long story short, after, hubby and i refused to bite, the bade us goodbye and presented a voucher that was only redeemable in 4 obscure countries. while that form of marketing is not a scam or out rightly illegal -at least not in Nigeria- i would advise any person that comes in contact with this brand to keep it moving, they are subtly dishonest!!! and that is the worst sort of dishonest. i believe any brand who is so disinterested in perception and brand image that it would lie about its products before you are even properly introduced to the brand, would do more sinister things once they have achieved their immediate aim which is getting unsuspecting nigerians to part with their money.
