Entering contests has become one of our favorite hobbies, many are genuine people who give out prizes sincerely and of course there will be scammers.
On 18 Oct 2018 night, my sister in law received a private message saying that she won a cruise package and she was really happy.
On 19 Oct 2018, my sister in law purposely took time off from work, rushed down to their office inside CBD area but the staff refused to give her the prize saying that she has to honor the contest of bringing her grandma with her to the cruise. What is there to honor when this clause is not stated in the contest post.
Is it very usual for facebook contests questions to be who do you want to bring with you to travel, staycation, dine, share the products and etc. And if it is a compulsory to be the tagged person, they are all stated black and white clearly in the contest Terms & Conditions.
Stamford Discovery Cruise Center did not at all mentioned it in the Terms & Conditions on both the facebook contest post and redemption letter.

Today is the 19 Oct 2019. Deadline stated is 23 Oct 2019. You think my sister in law has only 1 grandma. Is the staff cursing her other grandmas to fall sick or saying they are dead?
Its real disgusted that Stamford Discovery Cruise Center handled a simple giveaway in such an unprofessional, incompetent and incapable way, where so many other travel agencies have already done a good job.
My sister in law is truly very offended and extremely unhappy but she is not desperate for the cruise, and the staff's barbaric uncivilized bad attitude and behavior really pissed her off so she left
A few minutes after she left their office on 19 Oct 2018, she text Stamford Discovery Cruise saying that she will be there on 23 Oct 2018 to book it with her grandma, but got a reply that another winner was picked. First the staff imposed a hidden clause and now did not honor the dateline of 23 Oct 2018. She flipped her words like roti prata.
Pls note that Stamford Discovery Cruise Center has no respect on your privacy, they will post your name in their social media. And also why does my sister in law has to make trip down to book it where it can be done over the phone or email. Its stated must present original letter and bring passports to their office to claim the prize. Guess, this is an excellent way to get hold of people's particulars / details to sell or give out the information to outsiders, that is how we get the scamming phone calls, email and etc.
The staff has the worst attitude, worst behavior, worst customer service ever, totally unacceptable. Please do not support or purchase any travel packages from Stamford Travel. They are absolutely dishonest, unreliable and not trustworthy.

To the ridiculous pervert bastard,
For being such a scumbag, I sincerely with all my heart wishing not only you but your entire family to get retribution. Pray everyday for you and all your loved ones to T S D R & B I H. DNRIP.
Entering contest is meeting new people. Some are very nice people, some are terrible people. And I really hate people that want to do giveaway, but so reluctant to give as if they are the boss or maybe slept with the boss. Find it weird. Why so stingy about loosing the money on giving away the prize and purposely impose hidden clauses. This is the 3rd time that we met with this type of ridiculous, evil, cold blooded bastard, no manners at all. Its either they want to sell the unclaimed prize or they want to give it to their own family. Who knows?
