I won a cruise for $3000?

Question

You know these sites that say you are the such and such number visitor and you have won something. What's it all about. It's obviously c**p, so what do they get out of it?

Answer 1

Most of the time in order for you to get any information about it you have to enter a debit or credit card number. And then you get signed up for some BS service and thats how they make money.

Answer 2

Usually you have to complete a certain deal (like signing up a certain service or listening to a timeshare presentation) to get the cruise.  Beware of those timeshare presentations, they can really pressure and brainwash you into buying something you don't need.

Besides, most cruises are hella cheaper than that.

Answer 3

they get the enjoyment out of the people who actually think they will give out a $3000 cruise
