Only in America...Free Cruise Scams

So I got this envelope in the mail today from "Imperial Majesty Cruise Line Vacations," offering me a free cruise for two, plus a $1,300 travel voucher, "no strings attached." It's not like I would've gone, but I was just curious to know if my BSometer was callibrated correctly. Turns out it was. See

The wonderful news about the internet is that scams are easier to track. I suppose their target audience is old folks or people too stupid to know that "no strings attached" means you're about to be tied up in miles of string and Deus knows what else.

Caveat emptor, y'all.
