If you haven’t entered any contest, legitimate contests such as a work or church raffle, that’s your first red flag. Second consider the fine print. What does this free cruise voucher entail? Is there a fee, what’s the catch? Do you have to give out your credit card number? Things like this are important to keep in mind, you don’t want to be giving out your personal information to ever Tom, Dick and Harry.
You can also call those who are giving away the voucher, if they cannot answer any of your questions legitimately than this might be a scam. You can take it a step further, another option to consider is calling the cruise liner to verify if this cruise voucher you have received really entitles you to a free cruise voucher. Ask them if they have given out any free cruise vouchers lately, if they have had any giveaways through any companies or so on. The free cruise voucher may have a bar code, see if anyone can tell you if it actually has a value. There are important questions to consider in order to avoid being scammed, its better to be informed than to lose out.
