I got a call from the number 212 994 2308 ( the lady who called said it was an outgoing phone line ) saying that I had won a $2500 vacation (cruise and resort and disney world etc :P) from the booths at the Richmond Night Market (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Night_Market) ( presumably those booths probably aren't associated with the night market )
Anyways it all sounds great and all, great sounding vacation and I "did" sign up for the contest. The issue I actually have is that they told me that I need to pay a 600 $ departure fee ( 299 $ per person ) which made me kinda take a step back. Is it legit to have a departure fee on contests?
I've looked up the number on google and got this (http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-212-994-2308/2) but there are two good posts on it. So im still unsure whether or not to take it.
I was actually hoping to have this post in the contests section ... which i lurk ^^ but seeing as all those threads are purely offers for contests I was unsure.
Anyways I was just hoping that someone or other had some sorta helpful info for me or similar experiences? Should take this or not... $600 is a lot for me especially if it was a scam O_o
