The CCL postcard I received today boldly states "complimentary...leaving from any major port, including Los Angeles" -- how handy; 60 min. drive from my house.... and they've been "trying to contact me" (no msgs on my answering machine) And that this is not for a time share or land sale offer.... My "scam alert" just kicked in...
The ultra ULTRA fine print says that restrictions apply & I'd be responsible for applicable taxes, fees and deposits and to call for details of participation; that this is a solicitation for a travel membership; that a 90 min presentation is required; that age, income and cohabitation requirements apply; and this promotion is not sponsored or affiliated with Carnival, but they are one of their major sponsors.
The upper left corner say Welcome Center, Springfield Court, Valenica, CA 91355 -- I googled the name and street. It's just an office building, with mostly real estate offices mentioned. Then I googled the phone # 855-336-5964 and found this surprising response: "The 855 area code appears to be a invalid, it may be "spoofed". Phone calls originating from within the 855 area code often turn out to be a telemarketer, a telephone survey or bill collector trying to disguise their real phone number."
My scam alert didn't let me down...
