    I thought it was a tad suspect that they had rooms still. But both Best westerns in the area had rooms too. One of which I checked into on no notice

    I got the weekend off on a few days notice. It was a risk I was willing to take. I don't get enough weekends off.

    I don't know how to break this to you, but Expedia owns everyone of all those companies.

    Expedia Group, Inc. is an American online travel shopping company for consumer and small business travel. Its websites, which are primarily travel fare aggregators and travel metasearch engines, include Expedia.com, Vrbo (previously HomeAway), Hotels.com, Hotwire.com, Orbitz, Travelocity, trivago and CarRentals.com

    Its the first time I dabbled in the Airbnb style horseshit ONLY because the place was vetted by the actual hotel business.

    Its pissing distance from Crecent Beach and Whiterock. So yeah. It looks like a house in the middle of a suburb but its in a good location. I would have had it made. Close to the beach and an outdoor pool

    I tried PM'ing Dirk Diggler. Just wanted to ask where he found that story he put in the thread. But his PM box is full so my message never went through

    Hi yea everybody!

    That post came from me I'm the friendly neigbhour.. AMA..


    Il check back here every now and then, Also Sorry bud this happened to you.. the two guys that ran that place are fucking scammers and look like they are about to open up a new airbnb in Vancouver..

    I also got confirmation, They did not have a permit from the city, The letters they gave the city from the "owners" where forged, the property manager DID NOT approve it, and the owners did not approve it.

    I also can tell you that they would constantly double or tipple book on busy weekends and tell the people that got there later in the day to "get bent" I can also tell you that the bedroom they said they where living in smelled like death. I've been in horders houses and you will never forget the smell of rotting flesh / vomit and feces combined. That is exactly what it smelled like. You could smell it all the way to the kitchen when the door was open. I've got a strong stomach from a previous job and it was hard not to hurl.

    Hey man. Sorry I totally missed your reply.

    This whole story is unreal. I just can't believe how long it's taking for Expedia to react.

    And like all scammers , of course they are setting up another venture in the same business. Airbnb of course. Where all the scams are at. I wonder if anyone that lost a lot of money is gonna track them down and get something back from it. I'm only out $175 so it's not worth my while. But it would be nice to get some revenge.

    I just wonder how such fuckwits could keep it together as long as they did. They are clearly scatter brained mental cases.

    BTW thanks for helping out on this

    I googled something at work one night and when I clicked a link it took me to a message board and said I had to register to view it. So I did, then forgot about it.

    then that board sent me an email listing some new threads or highlights or whatever.

    The title of the thread was practically the same as this.

    Voila, small interweb.
    Lang may yer lum reek...
