Just had a call on my mobile - a london based photo studio - congratulations you've won a photo shoot for yourself and x amount of friends......blah blah waffle waffle...........worth £250 per person........ inclues hair style and makeup and photographer (no mention of photos to take home - guess they cost a bomb) .......... waffle waffle ......... booking date.... terms and conditions read out very quickly....... Now I just need to take a booking deposit of £45 per person which will be refunded on the day...
Hung up phone
Geez I hate these types of call. Not a real win if you have to pay. Odd's of ever getting the deposit back or the place even existing when you get there? I reckon slim to nil. Cost of the photos - probably loads - which everyone would want at least 1 photo wouldn't they or whats the point in going.
Be warned incase you get a similar call.
