Won a Holiday with getmeaticket.co.uk (not quite sure though)

fizzystutter

Hi,

My OH entered a competition on getmeaticket.co.uk, they just rang and said that she didn't win the Carribean holiday but the holiday to southern Spain (flights and accomodation paid).

The number she was asked to call was 0800 0086115

Has anyone else had this call ? I'm always quite wary of calls like these.

Thanks
James

Just googled the telephone number and found a thread on this forum (LOL) http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=304124

My OH was on the phone with them as I found the thread (it was an 0800 number afterall), so I told her hang up.

Hi Fizzy!
Have a look at my post under competition scams to see if it rings any bells with your OH.
I had something very similar, it rang alarm bells because if I had won-why on earth would I have to ring another number and give a reference?!
I was dead excited at the time-turns out its a time share scam and when you ring that number they get you to confirm you will be taking the holiday and try and get you to pay £29.50 per person for airport taxes/ inflight meals or sometimes they call it admin fee.
I hope its genuine for you but it sounds too like the one I nearly fell for.

Exactly the same thing happened to me on Friday. Somebody called, said I had won a holiday to Southern Spain, Portugal or the Canary Isles and gave me an 0800 number and booking ref. When I called the number I was told that "all I had to pay was £29.50 surcharge per person and attend one of their exhibitions" :mad: I politely informed them to "keep their prize" and hung up!!
