I feel so stupid. They made it seem like I was being chosen for something special, but it turned out to be completely misleading. It left me feeling tricked and disappointed. I got a call from a very friendly woman who created a sense of urgency and made it hard to say no, putting me on the spot to pay a deposit right then and there. Looking back, I realise I was manipulated into it before I had a chance to think it through and if I'd really won something then I wouldn't have to pay. At the time, it felt like a special opportunity but when I had the chance to look into it, I discovered that hundreds of other women had also 'won' the exact same thing. It became clear that this wasn’t a genuine prize, but more of a marketing strategy. She used a lot of body positivity language, making it seem like this was an empowering opportunity. It now feels like they were using these empowering messages as a tactic rather than being genuine. I'm embarrassed at how excited I was, the lady on the other end of the phone must've been laughing at me. They don't make it clear on the phone that all you get is the experience and if you want your photos you have to pay hundreds of pounds.
