Get Me A Ticket - is it legit?

Hi, I have just had a phone call from getmeaticket.co.uk to say I've not won the major holiday that I entered but won a runner up prize of a week self catering with everything paid for except food & drink. They've given me a freephone number to call. Is this legitimate or am I going to be led into something I don't want?
Thanks.

    I've not heard of them Karen but would be wary. Anyone?

    Hi Strepsy

    I've phoned the number and fortunately "all lines are busy". I can't remember the name of the company they said but it's a timeshare holiday group after having a good search on the Net. Don't think I'll bother!

    Thanks.

    Hi Karen,
    I've also received this call. I've done this before too, yes its a timeshare company and you do have to sit through a talk in order to claim your free holiday, but at the end of it, just say no thanks but still get your holiday. I did it 5 yrs ago, had a lovely week in Portugal, and while we were out there we actually did buy a timeshare but from a different company. Never looked back.

    We're going to take this one up on the offer too, shan't tell them we already own t/s but will accept their free holiday. (well apart from the £50 airport tax and admin charge)
