    Twice today I have answered the phone to a pre-recorded voice telling me I had won a holiday, now I know this is a scam and I didn't listed to the call, but has anybody ever bothered to listen to a call, or has anybody had the misfortune to get in contact with them?
    If you have just returned form Florida after "winning" one of these prizes- tell me all about it.

    I say 'no thankyou' even if it is automated ..............and then hang up.
