Ever wonder why a stranger keeps calling you with a "free holiday" promise? It’s usually a classic timeshare scam that pretends you won a prize after a bogus survey. The caller will pressure you for personal details or a small payment for flights, then disappear. Never share banking or identity information, and don’t agree to meet in person unless you’ve independently verified the company’s address and registration. Hang up, block the number and report the call to the Information Commissioner’s Office or Action Fraud. Keep a log of the calls – it helps authorities spot patterns and protect others.
My experience mirrors the comments from earlier, where ignoring and blocking the number seems to be the best course of action.
This number is linked to a scam involving holiday homes
After missing a call from this number and finding negative reviews, the decision was made to block the number to avoid potential issues
This number appears to be related to a holiday home.
These scammers are extremely annoying, constantly making harassing cold calls and switching numbers to evade blocks
This number is claimed to be associated with CLC world, which attempts to recruit individuals for their holiday club
I recieved a call from this number, claiming I had won a prize after completing an online survey, but it seemed like a timeshare scam, and I have yet to recieve any informations by post
Did not pick up. I continue to receive calls from various numbers.
This number has been a nuisance, calling me multiple times today and disrupting my day.
Someone called me today but i didnt answer, then another number called me, very suspicious
Repeated calls have been made regarding a survey from last year, with the caller using different numbers each time, making it difficult to avoid them
A call came in regarding a survey about me and my partner, claiming I could receive a discount on a holiday. When I mentioned I didn’t have a partner, they insisted it was fine and told me to use a code for the discount. Everything was rushed and inaudible, and then the call ended abruptly. Very odd!
A reward was offered for supposedly entering an online prize draw, which I highly doubt
This caller knew my name and asked for details about a supposed prize, a clear scam.
Initially, I was contacted about a supposed prize of a 7-day holiday, and after a lengthy discussion, I requested written confirmation and an in-person meeting at their office to finalize the details; I will provide updates if anything progresses
Following a brief pause, a hello was uttered before the line went dead, proving to be another unnecessary interruption.
Extremely irritating
A caller reached out about a lifestyle survey I supposedly completed, claiming I won a week-long holiday. They said I'd only need to cover the flight costs. I don't recall taking such a survey? They couldn't send me any email information and told me they'd call back later. I won't be booking flights directly with them or providing any bank details. Is this a known scam? They called from 0203 813 6942.
To me, this appears to be a recently created scam
