Just had a phone call said they were Zone Romantica Channel on Sky.
"Did I recall entering a competition for a holiday to Marbella last year?
"Vaguely", I reply with excitement:j (hoping ive won).... but no- he said id been "specially choosen" for a discounted offer of £250.00 for 4 people to the resort, and would I be interested?:rolleyes:
The call seemed geniune, but i declined as it his persistance was verging on a sales call.
Maybe im mistaken, was wondering if anyone had same call this afternoon- 095277914 from Zone Romantica, Sky?

Just had the same call not long ago- but was seriously interested as im looking for holiday in October. Ive compared with expedia and at £250 doesnt seem bad. The winner was named on site and he had to call up 40 others that had entered. You have to pay with credit/debit card now!! -as if!!
Will now decline, thanks to reading your posts.

Yup, me too, I told him it didn't matter how "cheap" it was, I couldn't afford it :rolleyes:That ain't working! That's the way to do it, money for nothing and TV's for free
