So durring a most non-productive work day of reading car forums and surfing e-bay, I recieved a phone call from informing me that I won an all expenses paid (including air travel and food but not alcohol) 3 day cruise in the caribbean sea. Now all these things went through my mind. of course SCAM SCAM SCAM was the first. Then I remembered I did register myself in a contest for this exact prize a few weeks back. So I asked the infamous question. What is the catch?? The woman said I had to pay for the tax, but that was it. So anyways I go pick up the voucher tomorrow and I have a year to use it. Dont worry no money or ssn has been given or asked for. so far so good. I just thought I would talk about it here because I was reading a thread on AF when I god the call.

Ill let you know if Its to good to be true tomorrow.

How did you enter this contest? I would read up in the source. There is most likely going to be a catch, or "final screening" or something. But it the source is legit, have fun!
