scam?

jimloughran

I've just received an email for a free 2 nights in wales. All i have to do is attend a presentation. Is this a scam? They want id such as a credit card, and a deposit.

If they want you to pay a deposit you're not getting anything 'free' are you?

Oh dear, of course it's a scam!
On the other hand, jim, why not just give me your Credit Card details;) ?
Please don't touch these sorts of things with a bargepole.
I see you're a new poster - welcome.
Do a bit more reading and you'll find loads of similar scenarios, BUT ALWAYS THE SAME ADVICE.

I think it's a timeshare sales thing; we went on one years ago, for a free weekend, and a free telly at the end of it. Well we got the weekend, and a portable telly, but the amount of high pressure annoyance we got, it wasn't really worth it.

On a similar topic-

we got a tel call yesterday from a chap who says that we've 'won' a week in Tenerife by registering at Fairexchange.com.

Has anyone ever done this? any advice?

Thanks

nothing is ever free, if they want your credit card details.. steer clear.

I signed up to Fair exchange ages ago, now after reaching enough points for a book, I can't login says it not recognize the email address when asking for a password reminder, but when I try to sign up it says already in use , Mailed them a few times with no reply.

Seems I'm banned maybe , but they should tell you why???
