Hi,
Just had a phone call from a lady in Dublin, apparently I completed an entry form at the Ideal Home Exhibition in Belfast and I'd been selected to be offered a cheap holiday to Malta.
She didn't ask for a commitment or money etc and has e-mailed details being the cynic I am I doubt it's for real but was wondering if anyone had received a similar phone call or had heard of the company.

It looks like an invitation to go on a "fly-buy" to the Fortina Hotel in Malta. You will be offered this at a very low rate but have to put up with hard-sell timeshare presentation.
It is a lovely hotel but only you can decide if the bother of the presentation is worth a very cheap holiday.
I am a right timeshare tart and jump at the chance of these. But I am not and never will be taken in by the hard-sell.

Have to say we did OK with "Freebies" from timeshare sales in Malta....but as terryw says "Absolutely not for the gullible or weak-willed."
Be careful out there!Dave0 -
