Is this a scam?
I just got a call from a travel agency saying that i won the lotto draw for a vacation package. they said it was when i entire a contest at the autoshow.
the vacation package is a trip around florida and a cuise for 8 days that is valued at $3500.
However, they also said that they need me to pay $299 per person with a credit card for service fee.
sounds a little fishy to me. did anyone else have simular calls?

A scam for sure. Over the past year I get calls about every 3 or 4 weeks telling me I've won a trip. It's always from different sources. Don't give them any money!!

Re: Is this a scam?
Yes, its a scam. But they probably did get your info from the Autoshow you attended.
A couple weeks back my wife got a similar call from a contest she "won" at the Winnipeg Baby and Kids Show that we attended a while back. Same deal, you won a trip....give us $300 dollars and your on your way.
I wonder if these legitimate events know that scammers are setting up legally to try to fool people. I had considered contacting the Kids Show organizers, but I don't know if that would have any effect. How do you tell which draw they got your name from? My wife entered 100 draws or so..........

It's odd that they'd say that you won it at the Autoshow. Tsk tsk, They're getting sneaky now.
