Is this a win?

Would love it if i could get some advice.

On Friday I got a call from - CLC World Travel Centre, however I was at the Epsom races and I couldnt really hear and the wine was flowing :beer:

They asked me to complete a three question survey which as just confirming the details i had given already and confirming my household income. The only reason i listened as they used my Facebook comping name. (just my first name & middle name)
After this they had told me I had won 7 days accommodation in florida/ costa del so/ tenerife for 6 people and I could claim this any time in the next 12 months. All i would need to do is pay for the flights.

They then said i would need to visit them in london with my partner and as I'm coming out my way they will also give me a £50 voucher for a place of my choice.

Now the only comp i can see that i did enter was this one - but that wasn't mentioned at all. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/70656915#Comment_70656915

Would love to get your opinions.

Thanks

    It's def timeshare - only go if you want REALLY hard sell tactics used on you.
  • Sorry, I agree it sounds like a timeshare. Someone else posted about it earlier in the year.

    Hi, I also had this call on Friday, sounded a bit dodgy to me when they said I'd have to go London with my partner so I said I wasn't interested, they did make it sound as if I'd really won something great at first... xx
    Smile :)

    Might not be from them, I don't enter for holidays so I don't know what the T&C's said about sharing information with the promoter but this is fairly typical
    Please note that we may contact you with holiday offers, which are entirely separate from the Prize Draw and that those offers are subject to attending a presentation and their own qualification criteria and terms and conditions.
