Won a trip to the bahamas?

Question

I signed up for this drawing and got a call back saying that i won! they gave me a conformation number and a number to call, i called the number and listened to a recording with all of the information, and it gave me a number to call to actually talk to someone. i was talking to them and they said i can pay the $78 dollar fee by credit card, check, or money order. my step dad refuses to give them his credit card number because he thinks all that stuff is fake. my mom even asked the guy if it was a joke and he said no ma'am its really not. do u think i should go ahead and do it or not. i never though i would win this great of an opportunity. do u think its real?

Answer 1

You didn't WIN anything... they probably told 10,000 people they had "won" that same trip.... it's a scam.

There will be so many 'extras' attached to that 'free' trip, you will end up spending $1000 or more... if you are lucky.

Answer 2

Scam.

You do not have to pay money to claim a prize.

Scammers leave fake draws around everywhere (stores etc) and online for people to enter so they can scam them out of their money.

If you still think it might be true, ask for their business name, phone number, address and name of the supervisor and get it checked out first with the Better Business Bureau, police etc.

Answer 3

It's a scam.. keep your money and book thru a reputable company.

For the Same deal.. without the hoax.. try www.discoverycruises.com

They are the ones that this scam company used for transportation.. and they have some decent low end packages that won't make you broke.

Remember.. you get what you pay for.  Resort rooms run around $400 a nite.. so a room for $70 is not gonna be much.. or near anything.
