Call the FTC and ask them to check it out for you, or see if they have any complaints about that company/web page.

gotta love these timeshare things... a friend of mine's parents got scammed into signing up for one once because it was such a *great deal* of course, they barely speak english and their great deal ended up costing them much more than anticipated, i wonder whatever ended up happening with that...

Whenever you get a call saying you won a vacation, it's either a timeshare or a more blatant scam. The "vacation" is usually a trip someplace where you have to go to some real estate seminar that just happens to be in a nice place like sunny Florida or Las Vegas.

I used to get these calls often, and they were just recordings.
