Default Free flights looking like a SCAM

DISCLAIMER - I will happily retract this statement if it turns out to be incorrect at a later date.Late last week I contacted InterCasino and demanded a phone number for TLC marketing, and after much, well, let's call it "deliberation" they finally gave me the contact number in London. TLC Marketing are the organisation responsible for booking the "free flights".+44 871 221 0511 is their phone number if you want to call them - I'll give $25 on stars or FT to the first person able to actually speak with a person who can discuss the free flight promotion.In the last 3 nights I have made 6 phone calls, and each time "the person I need to speak with is out of the office / in a meeting / with a client but will be happy to give me a call back ASAP".TLC Marketing purports to be a large multi-national corporation, so it strikes me as odd that they don't have a single person in their London office who can help me - nor call me back.What's even more strange is that the same guy answered my phone call on all 3 occasions tonight, however the last time tried to pretend he was someone different - who had not spoken with me previously ! That's usually a pretty bad sign IMO. Funnily enough he remember my name and the city I was calling from ... but I digress.It has also been brought to my attention several websites where other dis-illusioned customers around the World have been promised flights or other marketing 'giveaways' by TLC which have never been delivered.You can locate these by googling "TLC Marketing scams". Here are just a few.http://forums.ebay.com/db1/thread.jspa?threadID=2000515257http://www.topix.com/forum/com/wm/T5JLLFL0TUT8UT0EF/p4http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080518122343AAlWgfsLook, I might be jumping the gun here, but the form clearly stated they would be in contact with us no later than 21 days after receiving the forms. Has anyone heard anything ??If I am wrong I will HAPPILY make a public apology on this site to both InterCasino and TLC Marketing - but if I was a gambling man (lol) I would say we are drawing to a 2 outer with one card to come.
