has anyone noticed on the citv site that there isnt a section that says 'win' anymore?

yep, they must have stopped doing them, it disappeared a couple of weeks ago. Was a popular site too so dont know why they got rid of it

i have hd a similar letter, which i am to phone for to see what i have won (which will be up to the value of £3750

it was seasons holidays, and the letter came recorded delivery, with a free phone number to call on, so it seemed good, but when i looked at wbbie for them, they do seem to be a time share company, so i will phone tomorrow, but expect to have a similar response as in they will probably tell me if i pay so much i will get a holiday.

can anyone tell me if they have heard of them and is it a scammy prize, will be a shame, got excited thinking i may have won my first prize through MSE

kosma1, quite a lot of us have 'won' with Seasons Holidays and you are right, it is a timeshare type thing. I wouldn't bother ringing them (unless you especially want to) as they are going to ring you anyway. If you want a timeshare then fine, but its not what I would call a win in the normal freebie way!

Thanks for your reply zebedeee. i had suspected it was something like that, and i cerainly dont want a time share, cant afford one, how would i expect to be mortgage and debt free if i take on one of those, lmao.

may phone out of curiosity so i can let others know exactly what they are up to.

such a shame, guess i should get back to entering proper competitions with real prizes and keep my fingers crossed for my first real win

Just wondered if anybody else using live mail for this, or hotmail, in case there was a common cause.

I've just had the same from this comp which I sent yesterday came back today!
