Free Trip Scam
I just got a call this morning from Today`s Bride 21st Century and was told the same thing-- My fiance and I had won an trip to one of three locations-- including free beachfront hotel, meals, drinks, and recreation, everything but airfare. The only thing my fiance and I had to do was go to their 90-minute merchandise presentation at a hotel in Syracuse. I hadn`t remembered signing up for a prize raffle, so I asked the calling representative where they had receieved my information, what raffle had I entered? She conveniently "didn`t have my paperwork in front of her." I`m not a naive person, but after several reassurance from the representative that there was no purchase neccessary and no catch, I started to get excited about the idea of an all-expenses paid honeymoon. I am so glad I did my research and found this site, with the consumer reports link. It sucks that these people take advantage of people who are trying to begin their lives together. Don`t fall for this scam!!!
