Won a free travel cheque from Vacansoleil. Is it a scam??

clumsy_cupcake

Hi, i enter competitions from time to time.
This morning i got a letter in the post saying i was the winner of the vacansoleil 4 free promotion.

Says its a 7 week holiday and have a year to take it. To book call up this number and was hand signed.
Included was a piece of card "the travel chequqe" thats says im a winner and has a reservation code.

There is no mention how much the voucher is for or anything.

My 1st thought was yay a free holiday, but looking at it, it could just be junk mail.

I dont want to waste my money calling the number if its just a ploy for me to call up and book trip with them.

Has anybody used this company before or had any experiences. Would be great to hear.
Thankyou

I tend to apply the 'duck test' to these sort of things.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

I take it it's a premium rate number?

7 weeks, or 7 days?

Presuming if it's 7 days it's that one. Phone them up to ask, if it's not a "let me empty your wallet" premium number.

a friend won a 250 voucher in a comp with them once there was no strings to it...i presume you entered something...otherwise id be a bit worried.

Hi, I got one too today! I think it's genuine, because I do enter loads of comps. I cant find this particular one online though. It includes return ferry crossings too.

Congrats to both of us :j

Sounds suspect to me! How come so many winners

dementedhousewife

They often run competitions...
If you look in the competition forum...

I've been entering now for 5yrs :-)

They are very legit.. with a UK phone number
ABTA registered...

I have all my holiday details through now with the ferry crossing information.

Please don't let negative people put you off a perfectly good holiday

dementedhousewife let me know how you get on..won a voucher too. just the cost of fuel and food puts me off going..:beer: probably want you to stay on site on spend your money there..that is why they give so many vouchers out..thinking of going next year now..
what was the £49 for?
