strange win

glowgirl_2

Hi, I just received an email from Seasons Holidays saying I had won a prize to the value of £3750 and giving a freephone number to call and claim. I called the number and spoke to a woman who said they were a timeshare company and my prize was lifetime membership, entitling me to 1 weeks holiday each year in various destinations, she then told me I had to pay a yearly maintenance(?) fee starting at £220 for the first year rising with inflation each year, she also insisted in knowing whether I was a homeowner or not as only homeowners are allowed timeshares apparantly, I refused to answer and said I would call back as alarm bells were ringing loud and clear - what does anyone else think? Has anyone else had an email from them recently or previously? I am looking forward to hearing any comments about this.

They answered the phone as Seasons Holidays and it says that on the email too, I am sure you are correct though and its a con, even the email dosn't look right - thanks for the reply

I had a letter from them and checked out their website. Called them up, although was very wary of it. Basically got told the same - I had won lifetime membership but had to pay an annual maintenance fee. The girl told me they weren't timeshare as such and it was totally legit, but I wasn't willing to part with £200+ to find out lol.

It's not a win. They are trying to flog you timeshare. Delete it.
