Free trip offers can be a little different. Rather than some rogue offshore criminals, they can be sometimes be a different sort of ruse from a timeshare company. There really is a trip, but it’s not so “free” … and once you get to the destination you are hussled to buy into a timeshare. See: http://scam-detector.com/travel-scams/free-cruise

It’s still a scam,but a lot more sophisticated and harder to prosecute because the victims are in fact getting something of value, just not what they expected.
