Hola, escribo en Español puesto que esta denuncia ya está puesta por varias personas en inglés.
Esto es un timo, estafa!! Yo he tenido suerte y me he salvado en el último momento.
El intento de estafa de Pro Best Holidays ha consistido en lo siguiente:

He estado buscando apartamentos en Nueva York a través de homeaway.com.
Contacté con un propietario que me dijo que el apartamento seleccionado no estaba disponible. Me escrbió desde inquiry@vrotels.com un tal DAVID preguntándome que es lo que buscaba, y al contestarle con mis preferencias me llegó un mail de ANTONIO MORTAV de probestholidays@gmail.com ofreciendome el siguinete apartamento http://probestholidays.com/property-h71099-in-new-york-63.html, además me incluian traslado al aeropuerto.

Tras aceptar las condiciones me mandó un contrato en el que me reclamaba un pago unico en una cuenta de barclays en Londres

Total Booking Charges: $ 675.00
Receiver: Antonio Mortav
Receiver address: Flat 1, Sunset House, Grand Road, Harrow, HA3 7SA, United Kingdom
Sort Code: 209179
Account #: 13971546
SWIFT/BIC: BARCGB22
IBAN: GB23 BARC 2091 7913 9715 46
Bank Name: Barclays Bank UK
Bank Address: 62-64 High Street, Watford, WD17 2BT, United Kingdom

Me he salvado gracias a investigar un poco por internet.

ES UNA ESTAFA!!

Por cierto, si llamais al número intentan simular que es una agencia y posteriormente te lo coge una persona. Utiliza el mismo telefono para todas las estafas.

SCAM PRO BEST HOLIDAYS!!





Follow Ups/Extra Information. Most recent is listed first.
They offered deals that were too good to be true - 30% off, including round trip airport transfers. When the form came via email to "seal the deal", they wanted a wire transfer. I wasn't comfortable with that payment manner and began to "google" the company - there's nothing about them online. When I attempted to phone the number listed on their website, it is a non working number. I replied to the email form they sent to me for payment asking then to provide a good number so that I can call and discuss my concerns, they responded with "If you feel this a non legit company, thank you for your time." When something sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
