212 Suites NYC Daniel Silverman Fraudulent Scheme Manhattan, New York

212 are nothing more than a fraudulent operation. In March 2012 I booked the four bed apartment off Lexington Avenue for October 2012 and around one month before travel a Daniel Silverman e-mailed to say the apartment had been damaged by guests. They offered a three bed in MacDougall Avenue. I immediately could smell a rat and on asking for confirmation recieved nothing. Ten days before travel I tried to contact them however the phone numbers are not valid and they did not reply to
my e mails. Three days before my intended travel they sent me a reservation booking form which had no reference numbers and informed me that my booking was confirmed and that I had to attend an address on the east side of manhattan to collect the keys. By this time i had contacted my credit card company and I am now pursuing a refund of my deposit for 'failure to provude service'.

I did travel to New York as planned but stayed in a hotel but out of curiosity I tried to phone the numbers given to me for my airport collections. Needless to say they were not recognised. i also attended the address on the East Side where i had to collect my keys and found that this was a 'Western Union' Cheque cash shop whose owners had no connection with 212 Suites. Bookingvia my credit card I had a lucky escape and will get my cash back however this is a warning to anyone thinking of using this company.

Hopefully someone from 212 will read this and make contact with me however I won't hold my breath as I've tried e-mails, phone calls and even sent my phone number to them on twelve occassions asking for them to speak to me. BE AWARE
