Homeless in New Orleans: BookInHotels.com are fraudsters

I have just received an email from the Internet-based booking agency that I used to book my hotel for New Orleans. They have cancelled my booking. I am now homeless for SBL, and have only a week or so to try to find somewhere else. I was stupid I should have checked that the agency was honest :(

All I can do not is warn anyone considering using BookInHotels.com that they are a bunch of fraudsters! They have had the use of my money for months, multiply that by hundreds of other suckers and they are onto a really good deal.

Tim,

I am sorry for what happened to you. It is disgusting that some people take advantage of other people and defraud them the way they did to you.

I hope you will be able to find another place to stay in New Orleans.

Did they refund your money?

I can help you. I have a room at the Marriott and can't attend the conference. Tell me how to contact you or mail me in Facebook.

Thanks, just a bit too late though as I found a place through a different agency, this time one that I googled first ;)
