I got this a little while ago: Congratulations on your complimentary cruise for two! Call for details 706)_608_4549. I have not signed up for anything and by the look of these posts,it seem like a scam!

First, forward the text to 7726 (or SPAM).
Then, you can file a complaint by going to:

I got a text from these cruise scammers. I called them and spoke with this weird guy. I asked him their company's website but he said he has to take my info first before he transfers me to the cruise agent who will give me the website. Then I asked him what's his company's name, then he hung up on me.
I went to FTC website, one of the things they suggest is forward the unwanted text to 7726 (or SPAM).

I got a text from the 888 number too. Where can we go report them?
| Rose 2013-04-03 15:38:01 Unknown |
I got a text message from 111-044-0601 saying for me to call this number (888-991-8230). The message said I "won a FREE . . ." with nothing following it, and that I should call. Not going to happen!

Received two messages at 11:47pm EDT that read as follows:
One from 942-666-01:
"A Yahoo! usrer has sent you a message.Reply to that SMS to respond. Reply INFO to this SMS for help or go to "y.ahoo.it/imsms."
Next message from the same
"naomiharrell576: Greetings you achieved a 3 day cruise no-cost call us now8889918230 confirmation # 6436"
This comes after I had selected brackets for college basketball a couple of weeks ago but I also did a poll for newsmax earlier in the evening Tuesday, and used my yahoo email address...I also forgot to sign out but I do not have my phone number associated with that account, so I'm thrown for a loop.
| Rob 2013-04-03 03:42:01 Unknown |
Just got a text from them. same MO. I had my old yahoo account get hacked yesterday. any chance this is related?
| at 2013-03-20 04:55:44 Unknown |
I got one too did you ever call them?
| Layla 2013-03-16 10:37:43 Unknown |
Oh, forgot to mention I was "Winner #032" So I am guessing they texted a couple hundred people?
| Layla 2013-03-16 10:35:10 SMS |
I got this message ALSO from this number: (229) 429-6652 saying to call the 888 number. Darn, I wish I really did win, but from the look of these comments, it's not legit. I wouldn't dare call back without looking it up first. Apparently from the caller ID, the person is from Georgia... and on the google maps thing attached it had a picture of some old looking building. I wonder how these people get my phone number; I never give it out to anyone but my close friends and family.
Either way; they're not getting any info from me what-so-ever.

Got a spam about winning cruise from 2605737491 and asks call to this number.
| Any name 2013-03-16 01:22:43 Unknown |
Zach, they're looking for people just like you sweetie. Gullible.
| Any Name 2013-03-16 01:21:33 Unknown |
Michelle, it's a scam dear. Your tickets will probably be fake. They just want your info to sell it.
| Any name 2013-03-16 01:20:04 Unknown |
Definite SCAM
| Any name 2013-03-16 01:19:13 Unknown |
They texted me from a 312 number. I reported them to FCC. 2nd offense you get $500. I also reported them to FBI and local police.
| Tiffany 2013-03-15 23:41:44 SMS |
Received same text message I won but have not entered in to any drawings!! SCAM for sure!
| Sir Bedevere 2013-03-15 22:31:47 Unknown |
"Norm" is one of the crooks behind this scam, posing as a "satisfied customer" in order to try to lure in victims.
| Michelle 2013-03-15 22:21:03 Unknown |
So there really is a free cruise when you pay the tax? Which cruise line and where did you go? I might try it...
| Nichole 2013-03-15 21:46:54 Unknown |
They called me saying they were offering a free cruise but I don't remember signing up for one. Sounds a bit scammy to me.
| zach 2013-03-15 20:50:18 Unknown |
Did you really get a free cruise, it wasn't a scam, I kind of gullible myself.
| norm 2013-03-15 20:04:13 Unknown |
did you guys try this . I went down, the catch is they wanted me to drink and gamble, that's what I didn't do and my cruise was free. except for the $59.00 federal boarding taxes that I paid
| Geni 2013-03-15 19:46:15 Unknown |

| Kathy 2013-03-15 18:07:54 Telemarketer |
So, what you're all saying is that I didn't win a cruise for two, either? lol Darn!
| Megan 2013-03-15 17:28:50 Unknown |
Yes! There is a law! The do not text list is linked to the do not call list. Make sure your number is registered, then you can report spam text messagers with the FCC.
| Veronica 2013-03-15 15:56:23 Unknown |
Got a txt msg stating I was a cruise, I don't remember I entered a drawing. Isn't there laws against these types of things??
