I've won a holiday on a scratch card

massala

This is the first time I've posted anything on the forum so pelase be patient.
I've won a holiday on a scratch card but it seems too good to be true. After ringing the 0906 number I have now received a brochure which gives me 3 choices of holidays for upto 6 people. I have to send a cheque of £39 per person. The flights also incur £34 Air Passenger Duty Tax/ air security levy/ baggage handling charge. The scratch card company is Purely Creative Ltd. and the company providing the holiday voucher is Whoopydoo, a trading division of Fireball Media Limited. Is this too good to be true. The phone call has already cost me about £9. Am I being too skeptical?

Hi massala
I think if you search on here or Google these 3 companies you'll find that you haven't won a holiday at all.

Free promotional scratchcards should always go straight in the bin. You never win anything of value without having to fork out cash first. Even if you do, there are likely to be strings attached. Bin it.

Thank you Sadie22, Pollycat and Poodledoodledoo for your views, very much appreciated. My husband has similar thoughts, I will take your advice.

If it sounds too good to be true then it usually is.

Sceptical can be good.

You've hardly won anything if its going to cost approx £100 each for you to go? Avoid!!!!
