You get a phone call from an unknown number using an automated system that it’s a trivia contest and if you win,you get tickets to the Bahamas on board a cruiseliner. It’s 3 really easy questions and then they text you to go to website. Then the website informs you that you’ll get your tickets after you pay the 59.97 per ticket for taxes.

I received a call from 240-233-2702 stating that I was randomly picked for a promotional trivia contest through Matrix97.com. I was asked 3 questions: Who play Hannah Montana, Who sang Beat it & who was in In Sync. Easy questions that anyone could answer. I was told that I had won a trip for 2 to the Bahamas and that I needed to pay upfront taxes in the amount of $59 per person. The website is vague as it does not give any information as to where the radio station is located, not does it give a phone number. The domain for the website comes out of Toronto, CN.
