Too good to be true Spa weekend?

July 28, 2011 by Tricia

Interesting. I’ve apparently won a trip to a local resort and spa. The only thing is … I wonder how they got my name and email address.

Something smells fishy here and if it’s too good to be true … something probably isn’t right. Too bad though because it sounds great. It’s a real Resort location with a spa, golf course and it even has skiing in the winter, horse back riding in the summer and so on. I’d love to pack my equestrian clothes if I had any and go for the two days they say they’ve booked me for … but considering that I’ve never had any contact with the resort in the past I just know it’s got to be a scam email.

Do you ever get those emails that say you’ve won trips or weekend vacations and you just know that you haven’t won a thing?

      Mia yeah I just deleted the email rather than attempting to reply to it. The odd thing is they knew my name etc. Maybe they got it on an old contest form – like from several years ago. I haven’t entered any contests in years!

    I get an offer like that around once a year. Don’t reply to it – it’s almost always a scam, and to be honest when it comes to spa weekends if you’re not fussy about what weekend you go away then you can wait around and pick up some great deals, often up to around 60% off the normal price.
