- I've been reading this group for a while, and I am hoping someone out
- there can help me. Yesterday in the mail I received a postcard from 21st
- Century Travel in Lakeland Fl stating that I have won a Carribean Cruise for
- 2. It states that I have 72 hours to respond, or I will lose the prize. The
- card looks like it is hand written, but on closer examination, I have come
- to the decision that it was done on a printer as the letters are exactly alike.
- My question is, is this some kind of scam?? How would they know when I
- received the card to judge if I called within the time limit?? I figure I
- could call and find out, but have heard about some of these 800 numbers
- mysteriously turning into toll calls, and don't want to be caught. Has
- anyone out there actually called and gotten the prize??
- Thanks in advance,
- Scott
