Just wanted to relate my experience over the phone with a so called publicity company:

This lady called to say I have won 3500 worth of prizes, 1500 goes to luxury online purchase and the remaining 2000 can be used to stay in hotel or cruises. She even advise me to take the cruise as it is better than the hotel stay. I cannot explain, but the tactics used in convincing the "victim" is really "good". But only untill she passed over the phone to another so called sales coordinator that I sensed something fishy. As there is a no obligation 90 minutes guided tour with another lucky draw with a prize of a car...something like that.

The coordinator then required me to answer 3 shopping questions: What credit card you are using, above 28 years old bring NRIC for the prize collection and total household income. It is then I ended the conversation. But then the first lady still got the cheek to call me back explaining to me that there is no obligation and that I just need to go down and sign my attendance and collect the prize and leave. But I do not believe her as if it is really prize collection, then what lucky draw name is that and why do the winners need to attend the so called travel exhibition.

After wasting my handphone money and my breathe, i finally managed to end the call. So to all Singaporeans out there, pls do not waste your time to listen to any calls from Oriental Travel Fair. After searching the name on google, I find it a blessing that I did not listen to that lady. Its a scam!
