Internet Scam: Fake Political Surveys

The IC3 has been notified of a scam involving telephone calls conducting a multiple-choice "political survey." Following the survey, the recipients are told they have won a free cruise to the Bahamas. After providing a website address for legitimacy, the caller requests the "winner's" email address for notification purposes and credit card information to cover port fees.

The bogus website itself has very limited information, but does contain a few photos, testimonials and a "Caribbean Line" banner in an attempt to convince visitors it is legitimate. But it is not legitimate.
