The Big Prize Draw - Real or Not??

Hi everyone,

Just wondered if anyone had come across and dealt with the website: The Big Prize Draw?

I got a phone call whilst I was out today to say I had won a competition but I wasn't home and my hubby took the message. They said they would call back but didn't.

Checked the number and it's a 012xx number so not an 0800 type number but when I called it the line was dead so seems suss to me?!

I did enter online the other day but my gut feeling is telling me it's some dodgy timeshare or something where they are trying to get me to buy other services?

Any advise welcome!

Thank you

    Just been called by them on number 012xxx and found I have won a holiday. I have to call the HO on 0800 xxxx to confirm my details. Checked the numbers online and basically they are not a timeshare, but you have to go along to a presentation where they attempt to get to join a holiday club.
    Having researched it briefly holiday clubs are not as regulated as timeshares.

    Real or not, what do you think?
