Is Trip Advisor paying for bad reviews? Also, if you bought the holiday package in your home country there is probably an organisation you can report travel agents who provide a bad service to.

It was entirely factual and I have witnesses and proof, but guess the cheats who i exposed were the ones who complained about my posting. Seems ironic that i get ripped off, try to warn other travellers and VT delete my account! Especially as the people who i exposed are VT members and approached me - unsolicited - through a post i made and this is how they get their business. | Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #4 390 days ago, October 28th 2008 | Especially as the people who i exposed are VT members and approached me - unsolicited - through a post i made and this is how they get their business.![]() Members of travel sites who approach other members to sell something are spammers. I dont think any site approves of companies who try to sell their services to the site members like that. But sites also dont approve of forum posts launching complaints against individual members, so that is probably why Visual Tourist deleted your account. They likely will delete the accounts of the spammers too if members report them.
