I'm assuming this is a scam or timeshare

I got a call a while back from someone I think she said she was from 2clicks? It sounded like she was in a call centre anyway which made me suspicious when she said I hadn't won the main prize in a comp I'd entered but I had won a week's holiday for 4, flights included. She gave me a reference number and told me to ring a freefone number by 12.
The number is 0800 988990.
I'm assuming when I ring they'll either want money for something or tell me if I want it free, I need to go to a timeshare presentation. Call me cynical, but am I right?

Nope- you are right i'm afraid, its a timeshare scam.
I've had several of these calls and I got so excited the first time-felt so gullible afterwards.
If you look under competition scams thread above theres loads of people on here put details on-the main company is CLC-Club la Costa, and that telephone number you put is the one I was given too.
I wish it were genuine as I could do with a holiday!When you get to the end of your tether, tie a knot and hang on.0 -
Thank you so much. I am a big cynic so was thinking "yeah, yeah" whilst she was talking. I was prepared to be wrong tho!
