Does this sound like a scam?

Options
Hi,

Yesterday i received a call saying i'd been a runner up in a competition (Team Rock Radio) and won 3 nights accomodation in Ibiza. The woman i spoke to emailed me some details and told me flights were not included, but told me they were coming out at around £90. She also said if i would like to stay longer than 3 days she'd help arrange that.

I read the email and it said i had to pay a £20 booking fee to secure the booking. I've won trips before and never had to pay a booking fee before, although obviously happy to pay for flights if they aren't included. I'm just worried about giving this company my details when paying for the booking fee.

Has anyone else won a trip and had this happen?
