Total money lost $150

Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

We entered into a sweetstakes for a free cruise to the Bahamas, while eating at a Vegan friendly restaurant called "Loving Hut" on Fletcher Avenue. During our leisure time many weeks after putting in the application, my girlfriend recieved a call that was too good to be true. She had won a cruise to the Bahamas for free and all she had to pay was a one time fee for the ports or convenience; something of that sort.

After doing her homework she later found out that it was a telemarketing scam and though the manager of the call center was not able to actually go on this trip and that they were basically trying to get the $150 without giving her anything in return.

I had thought that would be the end of it, but later I saw an add for a night shift customer representative. The add did not claim there was anything related to Royal Seas, and upon calling the number the very first thing the operator said was "Thank you for calling ‘Corporate Office!’ How may I direct your call?" she was polite in giving me direction for my interview, but later I was directed to their office.

When I arrived a younger gentleman went in before me with a look of dismay as he opened the door. "GooSeeDoo" was on the door with pictures of skis but nothing pertaining to Royal Seas, nor was there any identification that this was a business. Just a rented out office with no logos and contemporary music.

When I got inside they never once told me the name of the company, but I had recognized the name from the night we had to fight with them to get a refund. Upon looking into their Yelp page and other sources we had been warned it was a scam. I highly think the same office I step foot in was the one they called us out of and lied that we’d won a free cruise.

I did not complete my interview process, and when I told the receptionist what I had learned about the cruise liner and how there was no phone number or address on the application she simply said "You’d have to ask someone else. I just started working here."

There was nothing about RoyalSeas on any aspect of this process. Here is a link to the craigslist add: https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/csr/5956239613.html
