    So they tell me, only thing is I have used the same company before without a problem.The problem is those fuckers villasindonesia.
    From what I've discovered so far, not too much damage caused in Thailand but truckloads in Bali.

    Bit of an update. Talked to faceless people from GrabOne today about my predicament and got the usual insincere apologies and empty promises to do all they can and get back to me A.S.A.P. Then it was the turn of my travel insurance company to tell me that they are extremely confident that my policy contains several exclusion clauses which exempts them from accepting any claims in this instance.
    They have no idea how happy I was about their abundant fucking confidence.
    Next it was on to blessed and dear lady at my credit card provider,the only one so far who seems willing to chase down these evil bastards and regain my hard earned. She has set the wheels in motion and if she gets a result I may consider taking her on holiday in place of the dragon lady.

    Crocman, can you get into liaison with other people who've been scammed, to share information ?
    And to save time, I wonder if you could create a website for updates ? Hell, you could even get them to post current info on this thread.

    A great idea and thank you for the suggestion, my problem is I am not that tech savvy.I can manage TD
    ,hotmail and the odd porn site or so but that is about it.
    Trip advisor and facebook seem to be handling most of the traffic but the news seems to be a couple of months old with the odd recent event like mine popping up as well.
    Good news is the Fire Breather and I have forged on and made a new booking for Samui through Agoda so all should be well.Luckily the Phuket leg of the trip remains unaffected.
    Our kiwi friends that we are meeting up with in Phuket also bought their accommodation from GrabOne but their booking is safe as GrabOne were selling for a different agent not villasindonesia.

    O.K good news I have secured a full refund from GrabOne after many terse emails and phone calls. It may have been mentioning that their competitors were already refunding their customers who had been scammed,so why weren't GrabOne.Or it could have been telling them the next step was chasing them through Mastercard.Doesn't matter really,I'm getting my hard earned back and it wasn't because of my wit or charm.Fuck em I got a result.

    You could have always just come on here and asked ? You could have rented mine I always favour getting a personal recommendation rather than getting something off the internet. With the internet you never know exactly what you are going to get, or not as in this case

    As a Samui villa agent, I am sorry about your loss - but there are some very helpful agencies on Koh Samui. Booking through tripaadvisor, agoda etc can also be problematic as there are some villa listings out there by 'bogus owners'.

    Best way is to go by personal reccommendation. If anyone want an opinion on a booking agency here on Samui, please let me know.
