Be careful booking hotels - when we got a room for my grandma's funeral, we called the number listed on the Google business page, Turns out Expedia had hijacked the page and pretended to be the hotel's front desk when I called. Charged us a higher rate than we would've paid had we reached the front desk.
I reported the charge as fraud and my bank is getting me a refund, and I've spoken to the actual hotel to pay them the correct amount directly.
@dramypsyd How is that even legal?
Is that even legal?
@me I feel like it shouldn't be legal, but the thing is breaking the law like this typically results in fines, so the business just pays the fine and keeps breaking the law
@dramypsyd Yeah... I really wish things like fines were calculated proportional to the income of the person or entity being fined.
That'll never happen though.
@me The fine should be at least how much profit they made from the scam
