I found a fake/duplicate advert of our villa on Flat4day, via HomeAway & Owners Direct , having copies of our photos, description etc. I have no contract or contact with this company and was alarmed to see our villa listed with them. I also noted quite a few other kalkan villas being promoted by them - (flat4day) VILLA OWNERS- Please do a search on Homeaway for a villa with same no' of rooms and area/location as yours. I have found 2 fake adverts, one same name as my villa & same photos, another diiferent name - same photos, description copied from my advert..
I have reported it to HomeAway whom flat4day advertise with and asked for it to be removed 3 times over a period of about 5/6 weeks. Shockingly the fake advert is still there just a few clicks away from my own advert!!
I am very concerned about holiday makers paying for a holiday that the owner may know nothing about! I found this article gave really useful advice for potential holiday makers and Villa owners. Hope this information may be of use!
