Funny, I saw a bunch of "I'm coming back" posts in my RSS reader, but they are gone. I read TA last and VIOL is picking up as the Fall shoulder season approached. Anything I should know?

A STJ villa owner was pretending to be a tourist and posted that they were getting a last minute deal on a villa....it was their villa. slightly shady!

At this point, I'd guess Mr. I'm Coming Back!! is relieved it was deleted.

Rick - it was too funny - he said he was getting a deal, the owners were offering hurricane insurance in case the trip was cancelled, the owners had installed a cappuccino machine, he would try to post a trip report if his wife would let him use his laptop as the villa had wifi, and he asked if anyone had pictures of the villa and all along he was the owner........BUSTED 
He does post here but only when it is to his advantage - ie: someone is looking for a villa - and then he posts his link but never joins in any other topics.
I got my kicks out of that one and as I responded he is soooo not on my villa recommendation list anymore - anyone who is an owner but pretends to be a tourist to get business is soooooo not on my good list

Darn it, I missed that one. I remember something similar a while back, I wonder if it is the same person.

Anyone want to "out" this guy so we can keep an eye open for him?
As Jim Carrey says...
Leeeehewsehherrrrrrrrr!

That would be helpful, the "outing". I have always wondered about these impostor types!
I recall a month or so back, there were a couple of different new posters on here asking for villa advise, and they both received the same villa recommendation from the same person, even though they were each looking for different things in a villa!
I wanted to post something like - looking for a villa, that has an elevator to the moon, with a spaceship captained by Desdemona - and wait for the person to respond with "such and such villa is just the ticket"!

He is SOOOO busted (good catch pjayer)!!!
Pia - I was cracking up after you told him you hoped he enjoyed his new cappuccino maker - at his OWN villa!
I think we would have forgiven him if he had simply admitted what he did, explained that times are hard, bookings are down, etc. and then apologized - instead of removing the post!

Pia, I replied to you over there, that post made me laugh! I'd seriously thought about that villa for a future trip since we loved the location so much, but hated Sol's driveway! Oh well! I agree that the owner is likely glad it's removed!

Inquiring minds want to know...which villa are we talking about? Spill, please! PM me if you don't want to put it on the board. I am so very curious.

I had been lurking on TA, but apparently I missed this.Posted: Mon Aug 25, 2008 2:47 pm
Ha!
There are a couple of pseudonyms out there with only one person behind them. Shills rather piss me off, but the real influencers like sweet Pia always know who's playing games.
If this was who I think it is they can rest on their own merits and don't need to pump.
