Some advice please

Options
Hi there everyone,

Hope u r all good and winning lots😀

I am after some advice please- does anyone know anything about a roombookers eu and holiday giveaways/wins/promotions where u get 7 nights in Tenerife or Costa Dorada. I have had a call and been asked to choose dates/ resort but have to sort my own flights and sit thru their 90 min spiel? I know this will be to promote products etc. they are asking for £89 to cover admin in uk and transfers - very wary of this?? Do I ignore or have people done this and what were the outcomes. I've read lots of opinions on similar stuff some negative/some positive been to their 'Facebook' page but it's difficult to tell what's Ok ish and what's not.

Apparently they will phone back and be on phone while I book!!

Any help really would be appreciated thank you

    Have a look at here, they appear to be timeshare and unless the £89 includes flights it isn't much of a deal.

    When they phone back, just tell them you are un-employed and live in a council house - they will soon put the phone down

    Thank you all for you help I have decided to ignore this 'prize'/'promotion' for now.

    Kind Regards

    Hi PAHPAH. I got the same call today from roombookers about a runner-up prize. I'm still unsure about it. And it wasn't until I read the email that I saw the bit about having to sit through a 90 minute talk.

    I think I'll follow your advice and not call them back.

    I know its difficult to ignore as it could be a relatively cheap holiday and as I don't really care about listening to hard sells for a little while that wouldn't put me off. Its just the all round integrity of the thing that concerned me and made my decision in the end. Ho hum another year no hol lol
