Hi Scamwarners, This is my first topic I hope it is in the correct forum.

I was looking for a Holiday accomoddation for two weeks and I found this site: http://www.bloomsbury-flats.co.uk

I think it may be a scam, it's to good to be true.

Just to warn you guys.
Thank you for your hard work!!

Redirect phone number, which means the number can be forwarded to phones anywhere in the world--in this case, probably a cell phone in Benin. A legitimate UK business would not be using a redirect number like this.

Why do I say Benin?
Check out this site:

Look familiar? It should, since the text is identical, down to the exact same mistakes

So searching for more clones or connected sites, I search this line, errors and all:

This two bedrooms apartment is suitable for up to five people and comes equipped with a queen size beds in the bedrooms.

I get these two additional sites.
http://www.russell-flats.co.uk/
www.manson-flats.co.uk
But when I click on them, this is what I get:

Big Clock Vacation Flats
