I received the WEM few days ago followed by a call today. Not sure if this is a scammy sale call disguised as a win? In the phone call I was told you have to pay £29 admin fee per person which rang the alarm bells!
I'm not even sure what competition on facebook this was?

Thank you so much for participating in our Face Book Holiday Competition.
It's with great pleasure I can confirm you have been selected to receive the following runners up award:
- A Weeks Free Stay at Resort Properties, Los Cristianos, Tenerife. -
You will be staying in a spotlessly maintained Self Catering Apartment, equipped with Fitted Kitchen, Free Daily Maid Service and most with Private Balcony.
Please be completely assured, you are under no obligation to buy, rent, join or sign anything in order to take advantage of this holiday, all we ask is that while away on holiday you spare 120 minutes of your time attending a holiday exhibition where the holiday company will explain the benefits of the resort and what it has to offer. We hope once you have been away and enjoyed your holiday, you may mention our company to friends and family, we are sure you will agree word of mouth is the most effective means of advertising for any business.
I have attached your Booking Forms which simply need to be completed and returned back to our offices within the next 14 days so we can begin to process your holiday.
If you do have any questions regarding your holiday, please feel free to email me and I will be more than happy to assist you.
Congratulations, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
Yours sincerely,

that doesnt sound good at all, in fact, its sounds like one of those bus tours where they sell overpriced stuff to old people.
they are definately trying to sell you something, since they want 120 minutes of your time. not obligated to buy - bla bla. i'm quite sure there is an annoyingly pushing and forcing sales team waiting for you, who would be a right pain.
they didnt even spell facebook right, too!
sorry, but i would say: avoid!0 -

Definitely timeshare. I posted a few questions on their facebook wall yesterday. Received a phonecall off them yesterday to answer the questions that I had. Very good sales patter in trying to convince me but no way. Post was deleted from their wall and received another call today asking if I had made my mind up yet.
Google of managing directors name Kevin Tull fetched this link up

I can't see their facebook page now but maybe they have blocked me. I did send an email to the mirror investigators Penman and Sommerlad who investigated them on the blog above last night as I would hate for anyone to be ripped off as they clearly were going off the blog above.
The accommodation is Resort properties which when googling fetches back loads of bad feedback.
