Whoops.... this'll cost 'em

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

These dodgy posts must all be the work of the naughty, fake kessa, because we already know that Discovery Villas
have *never* performed anything like this as is suggested by some members on your forum

You mean a holiday rental website owner pretending to be a competitors holiday rental website owner pretending to be a happy customer recommending a website knowing he would get found out by forum readers as a holiday rental owner promoting his holiday rental website thus calling his or her honesty and integrity into question as someone holiday rental owners would want to advertise with :)

Yes, pja, a very succinct summing up: it's all much clearer to me now! :D

pja Yeah - right. Probably a couple of double negatives would have made it clearer.

By the way is your springer wearing lipstick - I keep meaning to ask :?: :?:

Ronnie Barker would have worded it better.

He's not wearing lipstick, he had a chew in his mouth and the flash made the patch under his nose look red. Reminded me to change it.

Had a call from Mr Kieron Thomas of Discovery Villas last night, in the middle of my dinner.

He was very keen to sort this all out and establish the truth which is that some person unknown has been plugging his listing site with the intention of being mistaken for the owner posing as a satisfied customer.

I said to him, what about the fact that there is a page on the internet linking to his website, with his contact name and the same hotmail address as was used to register on Lay My Hat? Here is the page: http://www.caingram.info/Accommodation_ ... tional.htm

"We don't use any hotmail addresses" he said.

How amazing then that this morning the hotmail address on that page has changed to his standard company email (although a Google search for the address still brings up that page).

The fake 'kessa' must have tapped my phone, or perhaps he was in the room, hiding under the Christmas tree, heard what we were talking about, and quickly changed it himself to make Kieron look bad.

There is a certain irony to the topic of this thread.

How best to screw up in front of your most likely target audience...

...post and email as if they're little children not the UK's most vocal property owners seeking the best ways to advertise.

I'm starting to get a bit alarmed by this thread. Now 'Kessa' has been outed as up to monkey business, can the LMH dragnet be far behind for the shadowy 'Jim'?
