VillagePRESS Tourist scams...
warning 
saved my butt" says owner of South American Retreat                     

In an email to VillagePRESS, Lee Christie wrote:

 

I just received a request for reservation from "Michael Davidson". I noticed the weird grammar and Googled his "Pedro Consults", then his name.

Sure enough, his name brought me to your information, which saved my butt. Thanks for putting it on line.

I have also been contacted several times in a similar way by someone whose letters read Bluebird Travel on the bottom. I checked to see if this company had a website, but it did not.

Thanks for your posting.

Tourist accommodation scams in South Africa too

Tourist accommodation provider in South Africa almost caught by "Michael Davidson" too.

In Cape Town, South Africa, "Nelsons Guesthouse" owner, Barry Jones, found VillagePRESS information to warn him before it cost him other than time.

Writing to thank VillagePRESS, Barry wrote....

    *******************************************************************************
 
Good evening,
 
Just replied to the Michael Davidson scam and then thought I would check the name of the business on the website as the English in the initial enquiry was a little off and I became suspicious.
 
Saw that "Michael Davidson" had been busy in other places and I thank you for alerting me to it.  I will now terminate all dealings with him
 
Best Regards,
