As what I’ve heard and read, there are travel agency are sending travel packages that says “you have won a holiday” I knew one of my friend received a letter from this travel agency (not to mention travel agency) and it’s says you paid 998 US dollar and you travel to this place blah and blah. My question is how I can sure that is not faked and scam? Maybe if I grab this travel holiday opportunities and then when I arrived to my destination then they will says that I’ll must pay this and that! What a heck!
My husband received some opportunity like this but he never believed those letters. They say you won but you not really won, you must pay first before you can go.
My thought is, as of now we are in global financial crisis, there are no people does not give you a free travel holiday without paying penny. You must first check the travel agency before you grab the opportunity or else you end up with many bills from your VISA.

I, for one, would report such scam e-mails to the prevailing consumer-protection agencies in your area.
Not to mention treating with suspicion any "free travel awards" which ask you to advance various taxes, fees and other charges before tickets can be sent. Come to think of it, such should be asked:
*Whether you're being asked to fly out of inconvenient airports, and @ unusual or otherwise inconvenient times;
*Whether the airfare you're being quoted is really "Y" (open-return) fare, traditionally the most expensive such as opposed to the likes of APEX (advance purchase excursion), "super saver" or last-minute offers;
*Whether the accomodations are of recognised standards, and conveniently located to the major tourist centres;
*Whether there are important travel restrictions (including holiday-period "blackout" dates) as need to be considered in planning;
*Whether this "free travel prize" is really a "marketing promotion" in connexion with the sale of timeshare properties @ perhaps inflated prices, and if so, whether you are required to attend certain marketing tours or lectures; and
*Whether preference is deliberately being given to midweek (usually Tuesday-Thursday) dates, with supplements likely for weekends or major conventions.
