    I've had at least two of these since I started, so I know how the disappointment feels.

    Sorry to hear about that. icon9.gif

  • Just remember not to pay any fees before collecting any prizes. Usually the scammer will ask you to pay some fees in order to collect the prize.

    I always enter holiday comps so was soooooo excited - especially as we had to pick it up from the post office as it had to be signed for

    It said we had won a prize worth £3,750 so thought we could go on a really special family holiday - what an idiot! Me and the kids were singing excitedly.

    Doh!

  • Me too, got the letter saturday morning, was so excited that i thought I had won a holiday... until I went online and read through the website. Going to call them at lunchtime and give them a hard time... see what it is they actually think I have "won" :mad:
  • For all we know...

    Anyway, I bought timeshare from Point To Point Destinations (West Coast Timeshare) Vancouver BC, and I am extremely disappointed. There are things that were not revealed to buyers and I posted some of them on this web site, www.TimeshareRevealed.com, so anyone can read them be warned.
  • you might want to have a look at this if you know someone who is vunerable and gets loads of scam letters like this.
