Warning of a Current Comping Phone Scam Circulating
Other
First of all, admin do delete if this isn't allowed
Just wanted to make you guys aware as one of the competition companies on here must have sold/passed on people's data, as they had my full name and phone number, and the only comps I enter are ones submitted on this site.
There's a phone scam going round at the minute operating from the number 01300257148, they ring you up saying that you've won a 2 night break in the UK but that you need to pay for your breakfast, so they want you to call back and arrange the payment so your holiday can be booked. There's a few similar reports here: who-called.co.uk/Number/01300257148
Luckily I googled the number before handing any money over or else I would've believed it was legit with all of the competitions I enter, just a warning to be wary and stay safe whilst these scams are circulating x
Is it called booksi breaks ?
If so it is not a scam but is like a timeshare, they try to sell you a holiday slot
They give you the accommodation free but you need to pay for breakfast in advance
They dont initially mention you need to attend a seminar there , it is supposed to be one hour but usually it can last longer, it is in the terms and conditions and they do tell you this nearer the time
They were offering three nights in a 5 star hotel in scotland or elsewhere in the UK
I was going to go but changed my mind
Do not book it if you don't want pressurised sales as this is what they want you there for
