I hope it's genuine for you, but I think it looks a bit fishy to me, i'm no expert though. Sounds like they just charge you loads for extras so it won't be free.0

I'd personally be a bit wary of this, it states at the top "Claim your.......". Someone with a bit more knowledge may be able to help, I never enter holiday comps so don't know if this is normal or notIf at first you don't succeed ........

It says "PAID IN FULL", and then asks you for a £20 "admin fee".
Sheesh!0 -
