Hiya lorweld,
Sorry to complain, but bear with me. This offer is NOT what it seems!!
We "won" the exact same offer via virgin/absolute radio. when this £525 voucher turns up you'll see. Its a deposit up front, not exactly refunded either (i explain in a sec). Also you have to bulk book as it for ONE USE And they try to upsell you. Not only this but they phone you a few times (well did to my hubby) to ask why he wasnt using his freebie! Pah.
THey want you to name/book all mates in, and expect 10pounds per person. Small print, this money becomes your first set of free (erm, 10 pounds is a charge right) balls. Anything extra you pay again. so its all a trick to get people through the gate, and its win-win to national paintball, as they've got a tenner per person.... and if your mate doesnt attend, it will be YOU paying that.
Be careful guys. Just my opinion.... feel free to ignore me, or google it....

Hi JulieJesta,
Don't apologise!! In fact personal thanks for pointing this out! You'll have saved people from being scammed.
I'll move this to freebies gone.
Thanks again:)
Oh and sorry to anyone who may have applied for this:oI didn't know it was a scam:eek:JulieJesta wrote: »Hiya lorweld,

Yes same here i called about the offer in the local paper as it said free Paintballing and teas coffees and Bacon Sandwhiches, got the tickets in the post it isn't free at all you pay an upfront fee of about £6.99 per person for so many balls then have to buy more on the day and they too have called me 3-4 times now asking about when i or partner will be using the vouchers
Don't fall for it unless you really want to go, it's a great idea for a corporate day out though, good teambuilding or team breaking perhaps in this case excercise0
