Beware of the call....

just had a phone call to say that I'd entered a comp on 17/1/2007. I'd won a prize but it wasn't the first prize. A holiday for 4 people, flights, hotel, choice of 3 countries. I asked her to repeat everything, then asked if I'd definitely won a holiday. She come clean and said that it was a timeshare :rolleyes: So I put the phone down. Not sure if it was Club Seasons (or whatever they call themselves), and there was no number stored so I can't report on that. I went all weak and shaky too and it put me right off me bacon sarni :o

    I hate Timeshare calls.... I have them ringing back one evening this week to see if I decided to go ahead with giving them £299 to stay at their resort in Tenerife.... they rang last week and I didn't hang up like I should have.... the caller had such a sexy voice.... and was very good at getting me sucked in to all his sales chat.... even though my family is too large to fit in a room.... he still kept on....

    I've had those sort of calls and they do annoy you. Never mind, there's a better prize somewhere in the post for you
