Update.
we are now on the cusp of either (a) a mega-apartment in Courchevel if some friends can get their shit together and say yes or
Well, well. Every time I looked at the
apartment I thought to myself, that's the expensive end of Courchevel, innit? and, even at the other end, £9k for the Christmas week for a 7 bed apartment is too little. And it was showing as 100% available. Fishy. And there were zero reviews about this chalet. Pescatorial again. I bunged in an enquiry to ask if it was still available, thinking maybe availability just hadn't been updated, back it came swiftly, my booking request had been accepted (oh, and could I please hand over the full rental amount now to secure the rental).
Time to delve.
The renter was declared as the owner of
this business renting on behalf of owners, which added a little credibility. Until I discovered that none of the properties on the website had any reviews. Using reverse image search I found the REAL chalet renters. Chalet Gentiane, not Belvedere.
Have a guess how much the weekly rent for it is - and of course it is unavailable having been rented for the peak weeks - before you click. Go on, the rent on the scam site is £9,000.
You have guessed, haven't you? Go on, play along
I found alternative sources for some other of the photos on the Bellgold Holiday website and I reported the dirty scammer to the site I found it on, but it still seems up.
Bullet dodged.
Saas Fee, here we come, wheeeeeeee!
