Message left early January "Someone in your household
has won one of our major prizes" - phone for Claim Code and prize won. Prizes included a BMW. Told the call would
cost €2.40/min. Fool - I phoned. The prize
Advised to phone Reg Tel 1850 741 741. Immagine my surprize when told it was genuine!! Does everyone know all
premium line calls have to be approved by Reg Tel?
Then queried the stamp issue and was advised to contact "Phonovation" the service provider here. They said yes, go ahead. The sae's are collected and sent back in a bundle and posted here. Presumably they send a voucher for the BMW. Still don't believe it but worth two stamps to see it through. If
Ramada is a five page link now which is a pity because they are as active as ever here and elsewhere. Maybe everyone using this site is unlikely to be taken in? A public confession - I was in March 04. Normal antennae were disabled. Consumer Affairs is now helping. A legally qualified woman has dictated a letter for me to send. Apparently under legislation there is a "cooling off period of seven days" and I cancelled within that time. The letter is very strong quoting U.S. legislation under various Acts and laws. I can't write it here in case of libel.
Something else. Since I cancelled my credit card immediately
after the call from Ramada, Consumer Affairs suggested phoning Visa. Did that today but got nowhere. Doesn't apply to Ramada but if it had been "a charge back issue" e.g.
goods purchased over the net and not delivered, there would
have been redress if reported within six months.
Sorry this is so long but I would hate to see anyone else
taken in by Ramada. A link posted here indicated Ramada/
their impersonators are very clever. It is a holdiay but far from how they described it. A horror holiday but one man in the U.S. got his money back after three years. The Attorney General's office in Florida has been involved. Only opened this embarrassing can of worms because of reading about it on this site.

. Got claim code and P.O. Box address in UK. Asked to send name, address, phone no., claim code and sae. Couldn't see how an Irish stamp could be used from the UK. (Didn't know about euro stamps then). Did nothing - certain I had fallen for another scam. Was on to Consumers Affairs about Ramada and casually mentioned that call.a two week holiday in Canaries for two
