However, by supplying your phone \u00a0number, you are actually subscribing to an absurdly expensive SMS &#8216;service&#8217; that will charge you several dollars for every pointless text message they send you.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, the site you are taken to may ask \u00a0you to supply your name, email address, home address, and phone numbers as a means \u00a0of participating in an online survey and entering to win prizes.  \u00a0However, fine print on the page will explain that, by entering, you are giving permission for your details to be shared with &#8216;site-sponsors&#8217; and third-party marketing groups. Thus, after entering, you will soon begin receiving unwanted and annoying phone calls, emails, and surface letters from companies trying to sell various products and services.<\/p>\n<p>But, no matter how many surveys you complete or what information you supply, you will never get the \u00a0chance \u00a0to win the promised cruise tickets, which never existed in the first place. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9162856233\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p> There are currently several bogus Carnival Cruise  \u00a0Facebook Pages, all of which are perpetrating versions of the same free ticket scam.

Note that, unlike the fake Pages, the <a title=\"Carnival Cruise Line Facebook Page\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Carnival\/\">genuine \u00a0Carnival Cruise Line Facebook Page<\/a> includes the blue &#8216;verified page&#8217; icon beside the Page name.<\/p>\n<p>Scams like this continue to be very common on Facebook.  \u00a0Be wary of any post or Page that promises expensive prizes such as cruises, airline tickets, or luxury cars just \u00a0for liking and sharing and participating in online surveys. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"example\">\n<b>EXAMPLE:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Surprise your family\/kids by winning a Carnival Cruise (Limited Time)<\/p>\n<p>January<br \/>\nJust share this post then go here: [Link removed] for a chance of winning up to 5 tickets for a Carnival Cruise.
