JdoggCruiser Posted October 18, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I was always told if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. While Im sitting here watching the yankess get pounded (hahaha, and no not a sox fan but orioles) when my phone rings. the caller id came up as a number from Illinois. I answered it and guess what? I won a carnival cruise! All I had to do was press one to speak to a cruise consultant to book it. Hahahahah, I really wanted to press it and have some fun with the rep on the other end but I didnt. I just hung up. Has anyone else received this call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastTex Posted October 19, 2012 #11 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Thats what my wife said to me!:eek: You got a robocall which by their very nature are used to make hundreds of thousands of calls. You shouldn't even have to ask. Another reason to make sure you are on the Do Not Call list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willy1094 Posted October 19, 2012 #14 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I've gotten several of these calls. The last one I got we were out shopping. I recognized the number so I put it on speaker phone. Got the loud ship horn followed by "you've won a free 4 night cruise on carnival". You should have seen my wife's eyes light up and then the shock when I hung up. :D I let her mill it over for a while until I told her that I had a few of these calls and that they say that all you have to do is a survey to get the cruise. I thought it was fun anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
