It seems to me those people have a distorted sense of what day it is.  Today's Friday, not Saturday.  It might be different over in UK, but I know it's not Saturday night yet. 

These kinds of things are pretty much always "scum."  I just ignore them.

Just scum spam. 

Obamate

Thanks chessmates. I though so. A scam Ad it is. I was tempted to ring their London Nr as I badly need a holiday. But then a scammer would know we all badly need holidays. So next they were gonna ask for my ID and bank details to deposit the money I guess ;-)

If it's a phone number, you can sometimes google it.  

e.g. look at the first couple results in this search:
