Scam information

This content is based on victim and potential victim accounts. Government agencies and legitimate business names and phone numbers are often used by scam artists to take advantage of people.

Description

This seems to be a marketing company running a misleading direct mail campaign on behalf of Viking Cruises congratulating the recipient on being a finalist in some promotional contest to win one of five prizes listed (various complementary cruises or resort stays) along with an elaborate plastic gauge attached to the letter that lights up a winning number that, if it matches a scratch off number below it, you win one of the prizes. I never entered any contest with this company. And a simple search online reveals that anyone else who received this letter also had a "winning number." You also learn that it's a ploy to get you to sit through a heavy-handed pitch for discount travel. And that when you finally get to the cruise details, the hidden fees have you paying as much as you would if you had booked the cruise yourself.
