Competition @ Olympia

[slipperyangel]

Did anyone else enter the competition at Olympia?
It was near the Nailympics area and the prize was a holiday to florida.
I did, and got a call today saying I had won a holiday to either Portugal, Spain or the Canarie Islands, which is all well and good, however when speaking to the lady she said there were a couple of charges (£29 per person and airport taxes) she also said I would have to attend an exhibition in London next Friday or Saturday to collect my prize (??) and they would put me up in a 4 star hotel for the night with a 2 course meal included.
I know this seems like a good prize but I must say I am somewhat skeptical (sp?)
Does this seem to good to be true or is it just me?

I entered a comp, not at Olympia tho, same sort of thing...won the prize and it was a time share, my friend actually went to the meeting it lasted about 4 hours and she said you were practically locked in the room where the meeting was held. Very high pressure selling.
Not saying its the same company, but I would be wary xx

isn't there something to do as your personnal data seems to have been used when you don't seem to know what for?
