    iStay SCAM. Accommodation providors are going to be duped to subscribe to this and at £50.00 a go that could mean millions of pound being poured straight into the pocket of these scumbags.

    Received an e mail today 01.02.2010

    iStay for iPhone email SCAM
    They call themselves iStay Systems com and purport to offer a new mode of advertising by having developed an application for the i phone, their email sounds convincing and they even give a 100% satisfaction guarantee or your get your money back! You know the type of thing. The concept sounds good to the uninitiated but DONT do it. Their website domain name was only registered on Jan 28th 2010, 3 DAYS AGO! And the company they registered with www directi com is based in India, do you really want to send your hard earned money to India like this? Accommodation owners are easy targets as they endevour to compete in a difficult market. Pass this on though any medium available to you please.
    Thanks.

    Why would a spammer bother to relate their crap to an existing thread ?

    Sorry, Im a bit of novice in this game. I searched for a frauduent websites post and this came up. It does relate to the same issue of fraudsters setting up websites in order to scam the unwitting. At least now theres a chance that people suspicious enough of the email comms may find this message?
    Thanks for your tolerance.
