We've exposed many a scam here on CBF and it has affected those trying to rip our members off greatly in some cases. This operation is the exception, we've been writing about it for years, and still they are there, still ripping people off.
This was the main reason I set CBF up, so us trusting Brits/Europeans can pool information on the good - and the bad. I sugeest we "redouble our efforts" on this one - post in any Facebook group that may be relevant, make it a sentence in every Fethiye reply on Tripadvisor, use it when a lull in a conversation comes when talking to newly found folk when over there.
The reason I suspect they have ridden this since what...2006...is that falling popularity is being compensated for with incredible profit levels from those still falling victim. It's bad for tourists, it's bad for our area and it's bad for all the honest good guys in Turkey.
