Last weekend Catherine and I went to the Bridal Fantasy here in Edmonton. We went mostly to get ideas for the wedding and enter draws. One of the draws we entered was for a trip to the Bahamas, and on the ballot it said "Only one entry per phone number" so I told Catherine to put her cell phone.

This week to our surprise we both one trips to the Bahamas! Well not really, we both won the opportunity to be scammed. The people that phoned us wanted us to give them a processing fee of only $399 US and to take care of our flight to Florida. Only after that would they take care of our hotel and send us on a cruise. Doesn't sound like we won anything to me especially since not everything on a cruise is taken care of.

Hopefully other couples that are getting married in Edmonton are smart enough not to fall for this scam because weddings are expensive enough already without someone trying to scam you. On that note, I am off on a real vacation to Hawaii next week, watching the Super Bowl in the US is going to be sweet.
