Called telling us we won a Cruise as well, but had to pay $300 per person. We did enter into some raffle which was NOT specified as a trip and I hung up on him after he kept insisting for my credit card information. They were at a comic book convention in Syracuse, NY. DID NOT PAY A CENT! Don't fall for it either.
Ya I got the same phone call from them like 9 times before I actually picked up and the same deal was offered to me after they told me that I won a Vacation to the Bahamas. I would not trust these guys if my life depended on it. After I told them that I don't have a major credit card to pay the $300 or so up front the conversation was kept short and there went my supposed vacation that I won... I would recommend staying way clear of scams like this especially when they ask you to pay up front. I can get this same deal if not better online or from my travel agent. TOTAL SCAM I THINK.
They call several times a day with no message. After they call, another call will come in a few minutes later with "Unknown Name, Unknown Number" also with no message.
I was just called (at work on my cell phone) and kept the manager on the phone for about a half hour trying to get them to explain how they were a legitimate company. In the end they couldn't do it.
I entered at the Manitoba Comic Con - I'm involved in the event and I'd like to know why we allowed these people to appear. It's disappointing that we allowed them.
The best thing you can do is first speak to the manager, then keep them on the phone as long as possible - they'll give up after they realize they've either spent more in employees than they'll scam from you. After all, long distance is expensive and the employees probably work on commission.
Research indicates that the cruises do indeed exist, but they're filthy and entirely not worth the money, AND they have hidden charges.

I got the same call, except i gave them my credit card info, but it declined. So he gave me a number to call back the next day with a credit card that will actually work. Im very tempted to do it. Do you really think it is a scam?
