I have just been contacted by someone in So. CA representing a company
"Pacific Monarch Resorts" re: interest in a timesharing venture in three
locations: Palms Springs and two other places of which I had never heard-
Dana Point and Ramona. 
                       
The spiel was the usual: no obligation, just watch a 10-minute video, and 
take a tour of the models, blah blah blah...Of course, just by showing up
I get a trip to Palm Springs, Vegas, or San Diego. And I'm guaranteed to 
win of of four fabulous prizes: a '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee, a trip to
Hawaii, a $1000 shopping spree, or a 20-inch Sony color TV (which if I didn't
want I could exchange for $250). Gee, wonder which prize I would get!

My question is this: has anyone had any experience with this company
(which by the way is, apparently owned by "Interval
International"-*another* "well- known" name <G>)? If so, were they
"true-to-their-word" about the prizes and/or the trips? My gut feeling is
that this whole thing smacks of a scam. I'd be interested to hear from folks
who have had dealings with Pacific Monarch Resorts or Interval Int'l. 
BTW, the "showroom is in Redwood Shores in Redwood City.
