****MERS! BE CAREFULL!

On the 14th December 2024 I had an emergency with my family and urgently needed an accommodation. My sister and I booked accommodation at Paradise Home Guesthouse in Fourways. Paid and everything. After I paid I contacted this number +***9 and unfortunately I cannot see the email address, but I have sent them an email as well via Booking.com where I have booked this place. I could not get hold of the person and decided that we should drive to the guesthouse. We made use of the address on Booking.com, but this address took us directly to Fourways mall. We thought that it might be wrong and drove around the mall for the google maps to recalculate but still ended up at the mall. So we went into the mall, approached the security gentlemen that directed us to an estate to see if this guesthouse might not be inside the estate. Got there and those security guys told us that there are no guesthouses or AirBnBs in the estate. But they have tried to assist us getting to the correct place. They have even contacted the same contact number, but still it went to the voicenote. We eventually found an address and drove to this address, boy oh boy.... we then realised that it was a ****. This guesthouse do not exist. Even still trying to contact this number and still nothing. We have tried to inform Booking.com and the Capitec Bank. Today we are being asked if we are sure that it is a ****. How do we know it is a ****... It is so heart braking that we have lost R7920.00 and being asked if we are sure it is a ****. I hope that God will punish these people so much who took our money for them to have a restless life. As we had our parents that's old, with us driving around to find this place.
