08009889900 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number βοΈ 08009889900 π is reported as a timeshare con where callers claim you've won free holidays to places like Spain, Turkey or the Canaries. The prizes usually come with strict conditions like age, income, or homeownership, and the βfreeβ trips often involve pressured sales pitches. Many report repeated calls, vague or withheld numbers, and demands to call quickly to claim vouchers or prizes. Despite promises of holiday wins, users warn itβs a marketing ploy, not a genuine prize, with no one confirming they actually received what was promised. Most regard it as a scam or promotion to lead people into costly presentations, so scepticism is common among those contacted.

10 yearsI ended up with the same ring as Linda (31. 10. 07) too! My appointment was in Birmingham back in November, but I do wish these folks would send out our vouchers ahead of time before the meeting, ha! Honestly, stay away from this; it's a complete scam!LindaBirmingham10 yearsI’ve just received a call informing me that I’ve supposedly won a holiday along with several other prizes for answering swiftly! The odd thing is, I’ve never even entered any competition!10 yearsWe just received our third call from these chaps a moment ago. Now they’re insisting that we have a mere thirty seconds to dial the freephone number. As if anyone would actually do that!10 yearsHonestly, popping round to see if your place was empty seemed a bit of a daft idea, didn't it?10 yearsEarlier today, our father received a call claiming, "Congratulations! You’ve won a holiday for four to Spain, Portugal, or Tenerife!" Naturally, we were pretty curious, so we looked up Giraffe Promotions and stumbled upon this site. Let me just say, steer well clear of Giraffe Promotions! It’s nothing but a scam, in my opinion.SpainPortugalTenerifeGiraffe Promotions10 yearsI just received a call claiming I've bagged a weeklong holiday in Turkey! How splendid, just what we were after! I pressed the lady on what expenses we might incur and she assured me it wouldn’t cost a penny. Apparently, this is all part of a promotional gig for their business, with the hope that we'll consider them for our future travels. And to top it off, they mentioned that if we call back within the hour, we could snag some complimentary vouchers. How amazing is that?!Turkey10 yearsI've just had another call! We tried ringing earlier, before half past seven, but with a different reference number, and guess what? We’re still in the running for that prize and also have a chance to grab £50 in vouchers for high street shops! How fortunate we are!10 yearsA company just called me from CLC, and it seems to be a total sham related to timeshares. What a disgrace!CLC11 yearsWe've never participated in any contests, so how on earth could we claim a victory?11 yearsI just found out that I’ve snagged a complimentary holiday with Euro Travel, which I can redeem any time over the next 18 weeks!11 yearsI recently received a call from someone claiming we’ve snagged a competition prize, although it isn’t the grand prize. It’s supposedly a week-long holiday for four to one of four destinations, like the Canaries or Turkey. We’ve participated in a few competitions here and there, but I can’t quite recall entering this one online. They provided us with a reference number and mentioned that the call was meant to be complimentary, but I’m feeling a bit sceptical about the whole thing!CanariesTurkey11 yearsI’ve just received a call from the same dubious outfit claiming I’ve won a holiday, but here’s the kicker: I’ve never even entered a draw! They mention some lovely getaway, like Tenerife or Turkey, but it certainly isn’t the Caribbean holiday they’re bragging about. What's even more alarming is that they seem to have my email and name exactly right. Rest assured, I won't be dialling their supposed freephone number any time soon!TenerifeTurkeyCaribbean11 yearsI’ve just had a cheeky phone call claiming I’ve bagged a complimentary week's holiday in Turkey! Absolutely brilliant, just what the doctor ordered! When I probed the lady about any hidden costs, she assured me it wouldn't cost a penny. Apparently, the whole thing is just part of their marketing ploy to get us to consider them in the future. She mentioned that if we ring back within an hour, we might snag some free vouchers as well. How incredible is that?Turkey11 yearsTo qualify for the promotional holiday, you really need to tick a few boxes. For starters, they’re looking for individuals aged between 28 and 64, preferably homeowners, and with a joint annual income exceeding £25,000. The reasoning behind this seems to be that these folks might have a better opportunity to take advantage of the offer. However, if you don’t quite match this specific demographic, it seems like the chance to claim this “reward” vanishes into thin air.11 yearsI had the impression that I'd entered a competition via Sainsbury's online and supposedly won a holiday. The caller's name was RyanACXPL, but I’m a bit sceptical about the whole thing. Sounds a bit dodgy to me!Sainsbury11 yearsI received a call from someone claiming that my name had been picked for a complimentary holiday in Spain, along with three others. All I needed to cough up was £29.50. They were quite insistent that I dial 08009889900 right away to learn more details. It all appears rather dodgy, if you ask me. Plus, the caller ID wasn’t visible, which adds to my suspicions.Spain11 yearsNot long after I finished a survey, I received a call claiming I'd won a prize. However, I couldn't recall the details of any such entry. The caller had their identity hidden, and when I picked up, they told me it was just a promotional offer, not an actual win. I decided to hang up promptly.11 yearsI received a couple of calls from them just to let us know we’d supposedly won a holiday for four. They insisted I needed to ring back before the end of today, and they also mentioned something about high street vouchers being part of the prize. Yet, as soon as they learned my income was below 25K a year, suddenly it was as if the win vanished into thin air. It all felt rather fishy and seemed more like a marketing gimmick than anything legitimate.11 yearsLike many others here, we’re still waiting to get our hands on a ring. We’ve signed up for a fair few competitions, but I'm curious-has anyone actually followed through with that so-called “ring scam”? It appears no one has progressed beyond the initial phase. What on earth should we expect from that two-hour presentation we’d be attending, especially after forking out £29.50?11 yearsThose who make those first calls are often the most blatant deceivers. I know it sounds harsh, but there's something infuriating about how they try to claim it was a genuine moment of triumph! As soon as they declare that it wasn't, they're just spinning a yarn!11 yearsI’ve encountered this as well - it’s clearly a timeshare scam, so I’d advise avoiding it unless you have a penchant for sitting through dull, monotonous presentations while someone relentlessly pushes you to shell out for a timeshare. Just save yourself the hassle!12 yearsAbsolutely the same situation! Just received a call about a complimentary luxury holiday in Europe for a party of four. They wanted me to ring 0800 988 9900 and mention a long reference number. Blimey, aren’t we the fortunate ones? While it sounds tempting, we won’t be taking that up. I’d rather shell out for my own getaway instead! At least we’re wise enough to see through it!Europe12 yearsWe recently encountered the same ring as Alan's. It happened to be a timeshare pitch, but I’m planning to attend the presentation for a bit of fun.Alan12 yearsI’ve come to the realisation that this was nothing more than a time share scam. It’s quite baffling, really, as I’ve yet to encounter anyone who has actually claimed one of the so-called prizes they promised. It’s interesting to note that these sorts of schemes pop up on Watchdog quite frequently.WatchdogSubmit Your Own Report (0800 988 9900)
