I think European vacations is a timeshare company........ http://forum.holidaywatchdog.com/Timeshare-&-Holiday-Clubs-European-Vacations-and-Universal-Holidays-Thread-3611.html
Selected winner seems to be a data collection set up........ http://selected-winner.co.uk/
I'm not saying for sure that it is a scam but proceed with caution.0 -
did you enter some kind of competition?
No? then its a scam. Remember,you rarely get something for nothing.0 -
i enter that many ... but i will put this one down to experience0

I had the same one this afternoon and have it quite regular, its rubbish thats why it says at the bottom you have to pay an 'administration fee' of £20Everything Happens for a Reason....0

European Vacations are not timeshare, they are classed as "Familiarisation Tours"!
Have a good search as i think some people have actually been on the trips they email out and are quite satisfied. I think they make their money on the upgrades / Food / activities etc.
I know if you do decide to go on it, it won't be a free holiday !!
Here is the link to their website "Offer" !
...and no, I have nothing whatsoever to do with them !!!
But i am sure I saw on here, reports of someone who went on one to France, I will have a search !
Maybe I didn't then !! I think all the info you need is on this website !!!
Steer Well clear !!!0 -

Hi,
I have had several of these "wins" from European vacations - spain, italy, turkey, germany! They all want a £20 deposit of admin fees and I have heard from other forums that people that have gone on these holidays have had problems with having to pay high food costs/packages. Avoid. You should never have to pay for a true win.0 -
LMAO !!! I have just had an email telling me I have won a Free 7 day holiday PAID IN FULL !!! with European Vacations Ltd !!!
What are the odds of that ?0
