Abbotsford woman warns about ‘cruise ship scam’

An Abbotsford woman has a warning today.

She thought she’d been offered a great cruising opportunity, but now she feels ripped off.

Sixty-five-year-old Karen Veercamp received a phone call that said she was chosen to receive a free trip aboard Caribbean cruise lines for her and her family.

Breaking news from Canada and around the world sent to your email, as it happens.

All they wanted her to do was talk it up with her friends.

Veercamp flew her grand- daughter and her granddaughter’s family to Florida, and immediately, they were bombarded with time share pitches, which they were told would not happen.

Not only that — when they got on the ship, it was falling apart and she said the staff were quote creepy.

Veercamp and her family walked off the vessel, and she wants others to be warned of the false advertising.
