Scam? Free cruise offer from RCI

[akswartz85]

My parents got a letter in the mail today from Royal Caribbean International for a free cruise + airfare. Scam? I called the number and it's being sold by Vacation World International.

Chances of that actually coming from RCI is somewhere between slim and none. Slim already left town.

Yeah that's what I figured. They're saying it's a 90 minute presentation... $50 + taxes & fees for air, and $149 + taxes & fees for the cruise.

I did some additional snooping. Looks like a time-share operation.

 

Not worth my time to go share I think. YMMV of course. :)

Check the mailing again, are you sure it isn't Royal Cruises? We got that one a few weeks ago with the same offer your parents received. It is a scam. They might get a cruise but it won't be free and it will be on an old rust bucket. Have them shred the offer and forget about it.

It's timeshare, not worth it, sounds too good to be true.

There is another RCI that is a timeshare.

RCI (formerly, Group RCI; formerly Resort Condominiums International) is a division of the firm Wyndham Worldwide.

presentation? yep scam, run away

I got something very similar. I "won" a cruise for participating in a survey. A little research proved that it was on a bad ship and would cost me a bunch of money since I would have to pay for pretty much everything on board. Their calls got blocked very quickly

And you also have to cruise on the second Tuesday of the 6th week of the 13th month.

 

TRASH it now!

If it sounds too good to be true - just run away. Fast.
