6 yearslike the rest of them, i got a call saying i’d won a holiday with cic world but only if i went to a talk in manchester. they said i had to put down a tiny deposit to hold my spot. i wasted ages chatting to the lady on the phone, then when she tried to pass me to someone else to pay, i just hung up. blocked their number after that.Manchester6 yearsSounds dodgy to me. They said I'd won a trip to Florida and said there's a present waiting if I go to their office to pick it up! All they want is a tiny refundable fee first to get the prize. No thanks.Florida6 yearsWatch out, definitely don’t pick up or say anything!6 yearsSo, I was told I've bagged a holiday just for answering a phone survey last week. Problem is, I’m pretty sure I never did any survey, I've been flat out at work all week! From what I’m seeing down the comments, loads of folks have allegedly won holidays too. Feels dodgy to me, definitely a scam. I've blocked the number already.7 yearsGot a call from some company named clc, saying i won a holiday or something. They had my details too which freaked me out. The number was 01242-353017. Be careful and block this number, it's definitely a scam!CLC7 yearsThis number has rung me a few times but always hangs up as soon as I pick up. I've been getting calls like this from loads of unlisted numbers lately, and the only place I can think they got my details from is my car insurance! I’m pretty sure of this because I only got a new phone recently and haven’t shared my number with anyone apart from the insurers after a car accident. There ought to be some sort of action to stop these companies from handing out phone numbers without permission.7 yearsGot a call from this number on the 21st of Jan, 2020 around 2:44pm, but i just let it ring out.7 yearsWho exactly shared my number with this business? I need it taken off their list immediately. Cheers! - caller: 01242 353017 Cheltenham, EnglandCheltenhamEngland7 yearsJust bagged myself a holiday!7 yearsGot a call from some firm claiming I'd won a trip to Florida, but there’s a catch - you have to go to some presentation in Cheltenham before you can get the prize. Sounds a bit dodgy to me!FloridaCheltenham7 yearskept ringing but every time i picked up they just hung up so I ended up blocking the number7 yearsI’ve had loads of calls from a few different numbers similar to this one over the last week. They kept saying I’d won a holiday but to get it I had to go to some presentation in the Cotswolds. They said a hotel would be sorted for me, but I’d have to put down a deposit first which they promised to refund when I turned up. They sent me a website to check out and it really seems like a timeshare pitch in disguise. Probably not a bad deal if you don’t mind the pushy sales bit, but honestly, I’m not interested and have just blocked them now.Cotswolds7 yearsI've spotted a few versions of this number popping up around Cheltenham. My go-to is just to ignore them and then block right away.Cheltenham7 yearsI picked up and the call just ended straight away. That number's blocked now!7 yearswatch out, it’s a scam!7 yearsGot a call from a woman telling me I’d won some holiday giveaway supposedly from a competition I entered online. Thing is, I don’t remember entering any contests on the internet. The only guess I have is that they might’ve snagged my info while I was just browsing around for holiday deals?7 yearsI've got a private mobile number and yet they've managed to ring me twice in just two days. The strange thing is, each time it’s from a different number but the voice and the questions they ask sound exactly the same. It's a bit odd.7 yearsTotal con, watch out!7 yearsA kind woman called me up saying I’d won a holiday. She mentioned I’d joined some online contest last month, which is why she already had my name, postcode, and number.7 yearsGot a call claiming I'd won some sort of holiday at Seaworld or vouchers from a comp I'd never even joined. There was loads of noise in the background, made me suspicious straight away. They soon started fishing for my bank info - definitely a scammer, so watch out and don't give them anything!SeaWorld7 yearsGot a call claiming I won a holiday, sounded like one of those classic dodgy scams.
