    Looks like a duff,

    the monies mentioned is the fee to actually have a share in a time share, which is then followed by yearly payments you need to make to keep you membership....

    Unfortunately doesnt appear to be a winner...

    looks like youve saved me from having to listen to some boring salesperson bleating on, what a con, could have done with a holiday as well not been for years

    totally agree with you, i also keep getting the one where they phone you and tell you youve won a holiday, then find out youve got to attend a seminar miles away where they try to talk you into buying a time share
