    • Watch out for people in Surfers Paradise (namely at the Chevron Renaissance) who offer you "free" prizes. They are just time share scamers trying to get you into their seminars. You have to sit through a 2 hour session with a salesman trying his best to suck you into handing over alot of money, before they will give you your prize, which is not worth it anyway (a bottle of wine or a "holiday"). Trust me, I've been there and done it!!

    At Least Do This: If you don't mind wasting 2 hours for a bottle of wine or some dodgy holiday, go for it.
    Alternative: I suggest to just say no to the prize, and just keep walking.
