So when my fiance bought her wedding dress she signed up to win a free honeymoon. Today she got call saying she had won a free vacation! She calls the number she was provided for the details and it turns out it is not free and she didnt win! The voice-recording with the details gave directions on how to get the real details and that was by paying $150 for them!
She did some more research and discovered the "free" vacation she won, was full of hidden costs and that she in reality didnt even 'win'. Everyone who entered the drawing through the bridal shop "wins".

WTF!!! Stupid scam had her hopes up for a free cruise. So be very careful if someone says you won something, especially if they ask for money for the details.
