I received a postcard titled Cruise Travel Expo 2025 – Viking River Cruise Giveaway Plus First-Class Airfare for Two. The mailer used cruise-line logos (Princess, Holland America, Celebrity, Uniworld) and a scratch-off code showing “winning numbers.” It asked me to call 855-540-7821 with offer code ZC1117 to claim a prize such as a Viking River Cruise with airfare, Caribbean cruise, or $15,000 cash. Fine print says the sponsor is “not affiliated with the cruise lines listed.” and contest is sponsored by PTCL. I googled PTCL (Pakistan Telecommunication Co Limited, a legitimate company) that warned their customer that they are not affiliated with this scam. Phone number matches a number in BBB Scam Tracker I did not call to 'claim my winning prize', After some research, this is definitely a SCAM.
