BEWARE, they walk amongst us

We booked and paid for 2 nights accommodation for 8 people on the 14/09/2021, the manager confirmed telephonically that they had received the POP and all was in order. Book in date was for the long weekend of the 24th September. We drove 6hrs from Ellisras to Kroonstad where we were confronted with a locked gate and all staff hiding inside, the police were called and a case of fraud has been opened. They alleged that the payment was made into a wrong account, however the POP they showed us and the police officer was clearly forged with another bank account number. The invoice they emailed us for the payment had the bank account number that we paid into yet their forged POP had another number superimposed onto it!! Don’t get caught like us, DO NOT book and pay for accommodation at The Elizabeth Guest house in Kroonstad, you will be scammed!!
