Is this real?

Just had an email from Aceville who seem to publish Your Fitness magazine to say I've won a holiday to 'Improve your health with Obsidian Wellness Centre'.

Part of me is excited, but partly sceptical, has anyone had any experience of wins from this company?

    Without seeing the email and how it is worded it is very difficult to tell. Did you enter a competition with that prize that's the first big clue to the puzzle.

    Although if the email arrived at that time of night I wpuld be sceptical

    I got an email from them yesterday afternoon. My prize didn't mention a holiday. It said "Congratulations! You have been selected as one of the winners of the ‘Improve your health with Obsidian Wellness Centre’ competition". I am assuming it is this:

    Three-Day Obsidian Juice Course To Try At Home (from the link above)

    A reader will win a seven-night holiday to Cyprus for them and a guest with James Villas, including flights, transfers, an apartment for two on the Aphrodite Hills Resort, plus three day access to the luxury spa and fitness centre!

    did you win this :)

    No experience of wins from the company, however it's based local to me and has been around for a long while (I actually had a job interview there about ten years back). So yes, the company itself is legit as far as I'm aware.
