    yeah i thought so , what made me suspicious was it said ......

    up to the value of £3750. (why not say the amount ?)

    If I do not phone within 7 days I will loose the prize (what if i had been on holiday ? seems mean?)

    Also I dont enter holiday competitions because I have a inner ear disorder so cant fly .

    Thanks for letting me know.
