They are known Credit Card Phishing sites so going to be a hassle to get cards cancelled and new one issued. I'm sure Tom is on the game here and has the chargebacks already in train. One of the problems is you've given your pin to them so may not be too easy to prove it wasn't you who used it |

Just a bit more info on this. I e mailed this company to cancel the bookings and they said they are cancelling them and my card will be refunded in 5-7 days. If this does not happen my bank will then be treating it as fraud, as it is in writing them I am to be refunded. |

Even using the regular sites such as booking.com hotels.com try not to book a hotel with zero feedback. All too easy to setup a fake site with stolen photos. There are plenty out there. I'd actually recommend booking a hotel with bad reviews rather than no reviews as at least you know it exists and can improve. |

The hotels are legit G Spain. They do exist. Its the site that looks like its a scam. However they have come back to me and said that they will refund the transaction after I cancelled the rooms, so we will see in 5-7 if they are 100% dodgy. |

How could it be legit? It's registered by same person/person in Turkey who have used many similar scam site with the same so called US toll free number.

I am glad you find its so funny for people to have to cancel their credit card and face the possibility of losing up to 750 euro and many of these you would.be friendly with.

Fair enough soccerc, but thats how it read to me.

I am sure somebody will come along and say I have been patronosing on other threads, but I would like to think that when its actually something real and not just waffle on the site. |

I think Ha ha , sounds like a laugh to me. I only found your match ticket situation funny to be honest, when you got it sorted. I would have been gutted for you if they did not turn up as nobody would deserve that even for a silly error. I think these thins are funny in hindsight, but they are not funny when at least 5 memembers on here run the risk of being down about 750 each. |

I tried to make light of it as i know No one runs the risk of being down a cent. All online credit card fraud is covered, i knew this as i work in e commerce.

You said no one was laughing and in a previous post soccerc posted a simple "ha ha" and nothing else. So I am saying that sounded like a laugh to me. Fair enough that you work in that area and you have the confidence of it. Not all 5 of us have that knowledge or that confident that we will be refunded. The banks have given us mixed messages on it, and some have been told that it may not be sorted until June. |

Soccerc, you dont get it. Nobody likes to be lectured or have someone being a smart arse, when they have just had their credit card phished or whatever you call it, resulting in the possibility of down 750 euro and without their credit card before x mas. We have all made mistakes and I and 4 others thought the site looked legit. I posted that I thought it looked legit which was ridiculed by you, and then followed up by you simply posting "ha ha". so to say it was not your fault that iI misinterpreted your post is disengenous. Also for it to come from someone who I respect and like on the site is rather dissappointing to say the least. |

You know damn well I wasn't ridiculing or patronising you. You also know exactly what part of your post the Hahaha was directed at, but refuse to acknowledge same. it's not the first time you've aimed that phrase at me both here and elsewhere, therefore IMHO you misinterpreted the meaning, so I'm far from being disengenuos.

honestly soccerc, I read it that you were ridiculing me. I am being honest. Maybe I am being oversensitive as I was annoyed at myself for making the mistake, thats how I read it and I am not being diengenous. Thats honestly how I read it. I still do not know what part of the post ha ha h was directed. i am still none the wiser. Anyway we won't fall out over it and maybe I am just annoyed at myself and taking it out on you.

The guy on the phone said I was misinformed by his colleague on Monday evening. When Charge back proceedings are initiated, the payment is frozen and no interest is acculmulated.

Anyone try http://www.hotelsinpoland.co.uk - www.hotelsinpoland.co.uk ?
I almost booked on it but then noticed that some of the Paypal and Card payments Logos were not clickable, only Visa nad something else. Rates were too good to be true so I got paranoid and didnt finish the booking. On doing some checking it was only set up in August this year. Probabaly with the .co.uk address to scam all the English Fans and possibly ourselves.
So just be wary of this one as well lads. ------------- I used to be a schizophrenic.......and so was I |

If the money has been swindled from your credit card then just don't pay the bill. Technically, under the banking code, you might be liable for the first €150 but more often than not this is not the case. It happened me before a couple of years back, I waited for the result of their investigations and the funds were reimbursed to my account meaning that I lost nothing.

http://www.outlet-hotels.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.outlet-hotels.com/
the layout is the exact same as bookingscheap.com. could be another dodgy site. ------------- cup champions |

Good to hear, took their time though didn't they? I'm looking at booking an apartment in Gdansk, it's on both booking.com and hotels.com but there is about a €1500 difference in the price on the 2 sites for the 5 nights. The pics of it look too good to be true as well, do you reckon you could get done by these legitimate sites? ------------- Co-Founder of The Paul McShane Fan Club, Portmarnock Branch |

If it is good value book the apartment at the cheaper price. While the draw was being made on 02 Dec I booked a nice apartment for 4 people in the centre of Poznan for less than €550 for 10 days on booking.com. The apartment company contacted me and told me the price was a mistake in their system and they couldn't stand over it. I contacted booking.com and they said it was a condition of their contract with the apartment owners that they honour the published price and the apartment had to accept this. They subsequently confirmed everything to me in writing including the price. ------------- Football is all very well a good game for rough girls, but not for delicate boys. |
