False adverti*****t

Groupon advertised an accommodation in Cape for R999 on the 6th of November which I was able to purchase. <br> I tried to book a date with the hotel but was told to book through group travel which I've been trying to do since last week. I called them and was sent to pillar and post.<br> Yesterday, on the 9th, I received an email from Groupon stating that Group Travel have mis-represented themselves and therefore the deal will not be valid. <br> Does it take 3 days to realize what you've advertised is a lie?
