Answer:

Cassandra's ability to predict the future was a gift from the God Apollo. Yet when she refused to sleep with the God, since he could not remove this ability, he placed a curse on her: although her predictions might be accurate, people would not believe her.

This way even if she warned her countrymen to 'Beware of the Greeks Bearing Gifts' when she saw the Trojan Horse at the city Gates, nobody believed her. The Trojans brought the Wooden Horse inside Troy, thus bringing in their downfall: The Horse was filled with Greek soldiers who at nightfall opened the city gates.
