So i entered an online competition to win a flight home to see my mum and i got an email saying they want to talk to me !! but because of the time difference i have to wait until UK office times ARGHH i am freaking out. i had a bit of a cry as my brother died last year around now, so i know my mum will be feeling blue. So i am sooo hoping it is all true. has anyone heard of welcometofrank.com or www.redletterdays.co.uk?

But it’s the story and photoshoot which are the issue here.

This is a year on from the OP’s brother’s death, clearly it’s a significant anniversary for them, and this company are going to want to use that experience for their own gain. To show how wonderful they are by being able to unite this family in rememberence of their grief.

If it was just a “I won a competition” type photoshoot then that would be one thing. But IMO the price to pay here is far too high.

SugarBabes has it. It sounds like they really want their pound of flesh for the 'freebie'

Yeah, getting to London isn't the issue here. They're going to want to pitch your story to every media outlet they can get their hands on and also probably have a video on their website and social media. Remember, this isn't a lovely thing for them to do. It's a PR and marketing tool. Not worth the angst for your mum imo.
