We made the first payment and got an email back from the 'owner' saying he'd gotten the payment and could we fix the rest up asap.

We were asked to pay via MoneyGram, no biggie and no alarm bells started to ring - we've not done this before and all seemed normal. The other half made contact with the 'owner' via the web-site and made arrangements to pay. Great location, it does exist, great photos - the lot.

So we started looking on the proper web-sites for places until we found one. The key, for us anyway, is booking some decent accommodation, so we decided that, as we're going to be in New York for three weeks solid, that we'd go for a serviced apartment over a hotel room. Three weeks in New York, one week in San Fransisco. Be warned - read this, take note and learn the easy way - we've learnt this lesson the hard way.Īs people who read this stuff on some form of a regular basis might be aware we're off to New York in just over a month.
