India Karma Experience

Had an email to say I had won an Indian holiday - but looks like I need to pay. Was through kingfisher beer. Anyone else got this email? Just looks a little odd.

Thanks to all who post, and GL to all who try!!

    Hello there

    I've received this email too. I got so excited when I read it then it looks as if you need to pay. Bit of a scam or misleading email. Might be worth emailing them to question it. That's what I'm going to do.

    I got this much earlier today about pooped a donkey when I read the subject line...then went into the body of the email...absolutely seething...have sent them an email stating that they should maybe rethink the wording of their subject line as it is very misleading and also that if I was a winner of a competition I should not have to pay to 'win the prize'...
    Hi Ho Hi Ho it's of to comp I go!

    Sorry to bump this....
    I got a call like this today. He called me first and told me he was from Sunrise Radio.
    Then he sent me a follow up email and has titled the email "Exclusive Offer" and I have to pay £250 for the whole 7 night stay.
    Hmmmm...! That's not a win mate!

  • Did anyone get an email about winning free accommodation for 7 days as opposed to just the £250 voucher for entering?
