    I 'WON' a holiday from them too, total con.
    They actually got my details from Mutualpoints and when I hadn't rung the freephone number within a couple of days they rang me again and I told them I had googled the company name and found that they are a Timeshare company, they didn't stay on the phone for long after that.:D

    Yours was probably from Getmeaticket, I think a lot of these sites have the same links. I've read somewhere of the same thing happening and the site mentioned was jackpotjoy.

    If you are entering your details on these site's to gain points, like Mutualpoints etc, always state you are not a homeowner, unemployed and single. You will get the points but not be bothered by the timeshare mob.
    If you make out you're skint, they don't want to know you :rotfl:
