The Rewards Forum / Free Time - possible scam

I have just received a letter from a company called The Rewards Forum - who I have never heard of before. They claim to have my card details from a previous transaction and are going to debit my card with £99.99 for membership, and are offering a "free" holiday in Spain.
A bit of research suggests the phone number is linked to a company called Free Time, and phoning the number via Skype (I now live abroad) confirms this, though I've been on hold for 10 minutes as I speak. (Edit - have now spoken to someone who says it's been cancelled but I'm still going to keep a close check on my account!)
Research suggests this is linked to a purchase of Space Bags last year which I certainly didn't spend nearly £100 on! Nothing has been deducted from my bank account yet though....

Do you have a consumer right issue you would like help with, or did you mean to post on The Praise, Vent & Warnings Board?keithinfife wrote: »I have just received a letter from a company called The Rewards Forum - who I have never heard of before.
