Can anyone advise RE:phone call?

justmel

I had a phone call this morning from a guy saying he was calling from bigprizedraws or something like that?

Anyway he went on to say i had won a holiday 4 nights in cornwall or scotland,he gave me a code and a freephone number and said i needed to call it.

Out of curiosity i did and a lady took my name and the code and relayed personal info back to me which was correct,she said 'oh no its not 4 nights its 7 and you choose between portugal or tenneriffe'

She said it was from a survey i filled in at the beginning of the month,now true i probably did but my issue with this is a) i never enter competitions to win holidays because my disablity means i cant travel far...b) there is a £29.99 booking fee for the holiday so how is it a prize? and c) The condition is that my husband and i have to take the letter they are sending along with I.D to a 2 hour expidition at lakeside in essex where they show us the villas.

I think its a bit odd,i couldnt take it anyway but im not sure what to make of this-anyone else had this? I really dont think they are going to let me give it to anyone even if its real

i think its a scam they basically try and sell you timeshare I had a call once nearly fell for it we would have had to go to Aintree race course to collect ours and never went realised was a scam when called us three weeks after claiming we had won again. Think some people have gone and have had a good day out though

Thanks,i thought it was a bit odd and didnt want to seem ungrateful about it but i wasnt comfortable with it.

timeshare or points. You will have to attend the usual 2hr presentation to get your voucher - just a sales tactic really rather than a prize
