I have won a holiday!!

[Caribeing]

Today I received a letter to tell me I had won a holiday throught an internet competition, I know I may have entered competitions via the internet but never take them seriously, It told me me I had won a holiday valued at �3,500 I telephoned the number etc all seemed quite genuine, told me it was a years subscription to holiday apts all I needed to do was get travel there etc. Is this genuine or a scam!!

Have you done any googling on who the letter came from? See if they come up on any scam wesbites or similar.

If a limited company, you could check them out on Companies House (http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/f14d811151f7 d1cf4e51934ffe263145/wcframe?name=accessCompan yInfo).

If you say who it's from (if you're comfortable doing that) someone may have heard of them (good or bad) or you could post another Q asking if anyone has heard of the company.

agree with Fish the Mod scam

If you win a holiday then you win a holiday, everything paid, not you sort out the flight etc

I got one last year. It said I had to travel to Manchester to collect my prize but on questioning it I was told that it would only give us the holiday once we had agreed to buy a time share. beware
