Description

Received letter from unidentified company saying "You are a finalist in our Viking River Cruise" and "You and your spouse are cordially invited to attend the Cruise Travel Expo 2025." There was a small plastic item (2" x 1") attached to the letter with a pull tab. The instructions said "Pull the tab on the attached V.I.N. Code and your 7 character V.I.N. number will light up. Then scratch off the circle below..." to see if numbers match and if you are a grand prize winner. Not surprisingly, the scratch circle and the VIN code matched. Tel. 866-980-4795, V.I.P. Winning number: V269164, V.I.P Winning Number: 127879. RSVP CODE: CV1002SAZ. I threw it all away.
