Is this a scam?

Im not sure if this is the right place to post but just wondered if anybody knew anything about a holiday scam via email doing the rounds? I have been sent an email for a 7 Day Turkey Holiday for two persons, flights and 5 star hotel accommodation, PAID IN FULL

I am to spend three nights at one hotel, three nights at another and one night at an hotel in the mountains! I know most timeshares come via telephone or letter, but Ive never come across email before. I have to pay a £20 admin fee.

We have contacted a credit card company hoping they might have come across this, but they just say "to be careful" and dont really advise anything else.

There was an icon for Planet24 at the end of the message and when I checked their website it mentioned that if a member of the public suspected anything fraudulent with their name on, to let them know. I did this but have heard nothing back.

I have checked the address at the bottom which is European Vacations Ltd, 4 Fairview, Beech Road, High Wycombe, HP11 1XU Registered No. 04063257 But no telephone number.

Having ignored this for a week, yesterday I received the same email again saying that they noticed I had not responded. The icons at the bottom of email for "Turkey" and "European Vacations" are different, but no Planet24 icon.

My gut reaction is to ignore this, but at the sametime if it is not a scam I would hate to miss out. I also want to stop anybody else falling for it, if it is a scam. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.
