Is this for real??? (well ..... doubt it!)

Post by teba18 »

After a plethora of e-mails over the last 6 months, sometimes asking some ridiculous questions (eg 'can you guarantee the weather in April?', 'Is your apartment near my aunty's?' or 'I've now booked flights for a week from 16 September so what is your availability from October 8th?') one enquirer has now decided that because we ask for payment before she goes, we must be scammers ......... so she'll probably 'try us again next year'!! Somehow I hope not! And think I've probably been had!

Oh dear... you really sound like you've had your fair share! :?

If you can't guarantee the weather in April... then how about May? ;)

my response would of been, "Yes I can guarantee there will be some weather going on in April" :)
