点评:ATTENTION❗️FRAUD GANG❗️
☝️THEY REFUNDED THE PRICE FOR THE CLIFFORD BEDROOM FROM THE APPLEBY CASTLE HOTEL 20/06.25. Friday
AND
THEN THEY CHARGED MY ACCOUNT AGAIN 23.06.25. Monday ❗️
☝️IF THEY DON'T PAY BACK, I'LL REPORT THEM
TO THE POLICE❗️🚔-This is considered intentional theft!
The receptionist asked for my Visa Debit card for security verification at check-in.
Then he read, recorded and stole my Visa Debit card information, the CVV number.
That's the only way he could steal the money again on Monday, from the bank account! -This is considered intentional theft! ! Crime!
☝️I was the victim of pre-planned deliberate deception and fraud at the Appleby Castle Hotel❗️
☝️🏰This is the 84th castle hotel I've visited, but nothing like this has ever happened to me❗️
☝️On the official website it looks like everything is fine, but it's not👎
I wrote two emails to say I was coming but they didn't respond. (They usually do)
I took the best room, which was the most expensive at the time, on 19.06.
The Clifford Room is bathed in red, with antique furniture and named after the famous Lady Anne Clifford!
The Clifford room is situated along the hallway of the third floor and is the bedroom of choice for newly weds. It is decorated in the medieval style with wall hangings, antique wardrobe and furnishings. The bedroom window overlooks the Inner Bailey. Two steps across the hallway is a large private bathroom with a roll top bath, underfloor heating and a separate walk in shower. There is an adjoining door to the Vipont bedroom if needed.
You can also book lunch and dinner on the website. What's strange is that this is only possible on the day of arrival, not in advance! - Breakfast was included in the room rate.
I'm so happy to be able to visit this famous castle and sleep in this room - I thought, that's why I left Ireland.
You could see right away upon arrival that something was wrong here!
No one at the entrance gate, no movement.
The tourist booth is closed and there are no cars in the main parking lot, despite the fact that there is supposedly a museum here.
Dead silence and tranquility, no one anywhere during the tourist season?
I drove up to the castle where the castle is located, thinking the parking lot was there too.
Passing through the castle gate, I saw only a neatly mowed grass area with abandoned garden tools and tractor.
Nowhere, no one? No guests, no visitors? It's 12 noon, I consoled myself with that.
Then I saw two figures coming up the stairs from the lower level of the castle.
Finally! I thought and was very happy.
As it turned out, the owner woman and the hotel manager - who looked more like a gardener in that outfit, in shorts.
We're closed! They shouted. Opening at 3 pm.
They told me to park outside behind the castle gate and come back later!
I said okay. I introduced myself, told them who I was. They acted like they didn't know I was coming. I said the Clifford room was mine and dinner was booked.
They said that was great because the dinner is truly world class.
They asked me, you have a castle?
Do you want to buy one? I said no, I just visit them.
They promised to take me around the castle later and show me around - which I was very happy about.
(They want to sell me this castle?
Maybe that's why they cut the grass and want to show me everything?)
Then came the slaps, a series of slaps!
I said I would like to have lunch.
They said that was not possible! I said you can make a reservation for lunch. They said the restaurant is closed. Closed? I didn't like that.
I went out of the castle and parked. The manager came up to me and told me not to park like that because there isn't much space here, to park like that because guests are coming and there won't be enough space. Okay, I said and saw a ray of light that maybe everything would be okay later. (As it later turned out, this was just a misleading, distracting text to obscure reality)
I went to have lunch at a cafe and came back to the castle at 3 pm.
When I returned to the castle from the car, I saw a dark-clothed, staggering, unkempt man walking into the castle courtyard. Oh my God! Who could this be? The cook? Then I'm definitely not eating anything here. There's no traffic, no hygiene.
As soon as he disappeared, I headed to the reception, which was closed, so I knocked. Is anyone here? I knocked on the door.
Yes! He answered and who do my eyes see? The stumbling pub figure is the receptionist! His fingertips were yellow and he kept burping and croaking while he talked to me. I told him I was canceling dinner and breakfast and that I had to leave very early. He said no problem, I could leave the key in the door and i can go.
Then he went aside to make a phone call and report to his owners - everything is fine so far, no problem with me.
During this time, I managed to take a few photos around the reception in the castle building.
He came back and said we could go.
(Where? I thought my room was in the castle! Where does this take me?)
We were leaving the castle building and heading to the courtyard when I asked him if my room was in that bastion building?
Not! It is a museum! Ok, then I want to see the museum. That's not allowed! He replied. CLOSED! That either? I asked. Can't do anything here?
The owner promised to show me the castle. That's not possible! He replied. Why? Because everything is closed, including the castle building!
They know this in advance, yet they deliberately deceive guests and sell accommodations in the castle building!
ROOM PRICES MUST BE PAID IN ADVANCE! - To ensure income!
Then he led me to a hut and showed me a room that was much cheaper and of lower quality.
The liar people did not inform me in advance that I would get another, much cheaper room and that it would not be in the castle building - and the price difference will be refunded!
They kept it a secret until the last moment that I had been scammed and that I was getting something completely different than what I paid for in advance!
“Is this my room?” I asked. “This is it!” the cattle replied without blinking.
Where is my room? The castle room the Clifford room? - I asked again.
It's not ready yet! They're cleaning it!
O.K. I'll wait then! I said.
That's impossible! he said.
Why? I asked. Because it's not reachable!
Stop lying to me! I've had enough of you! -I said.
He had memorized the evasive text in advance, so he knew what to say! - but I caught it here!
I want to talk to the owner! That's not possible! He said. They'll only be here in the evening. I don't need this room! This is not the room I paid for!
I didn't travel here from Ireland for this room, this experience!
No lunch, the restaurant is closed!
No guided tour of the castle!
The museum is closed!
My room is not in the castle building as advertised!
This is not the room I was given, because they confirmed the room was fine!
The price difference is not refunded either!
There is no other staff in the castle apart from the receptionist!
Dinner is probably not what is advertised
with the breakfast i am sure,
because the restaurant and the castle are closed!
Enough of the deception, the lies and everything is closed!
I'm going to go and ask for back my room price,
otherwise I'll file a police report on suspicion of fraud!
Should I call the police? I asked. He didn't want the police, instead he called the owner, who didn't want to talk to me but said she would refund the price of the room, I heard her say over the phone.
- which I have since received on Friday 20.06.25 ,
but since then it's been stolen from my bank account again Monday 23.06.25. !
Fortunately, I was able to keep my composure.
Because when a king gets nervous, even the stone walls of the castle tremble!
I left the castle around 4 pm, but I didn't see anyone, not a single arriving guest around the castle!
I do not recommend this castle, everything is closed, you do not get what you pay for. A scam planned in advance!
So in retrospect I know that this is a ruined business,
which they would sell because they don't know how to do it,
is on the verge of bankruptcy and is operates on a low flame!
That's why there's this Hocus Pocus, Abracadabra!
The receptionist is a buffer zone. This unfortunate person is needed so that the deceived guests can hold him accountable for things!
翻译:注意❗️诈骗团伙❗️
☝️他们于2025年6月20日星期五退还了Appleby Castle Hotel克利福德客房的房费
然后
又于2025年6月23日星期一再次从我的账户扣款❗️
☝️如果他们不退还,我就报警❗️🚔——这属于故意盗窃!
前台人员在办理入住时要求我出示Visa借记卡进行安全验证。
然后,他读取、记录并窃取了我的Visa借记卡信息——CVV码。
这就是他周一再次从银行账户中窃取资金的唯一方法!——这属于故意盗窃!!犯罪!
☝️我在阿普尔比城堡酒店遭遇了一场预谋的蓄意欺骗和诈骗❗️
☝️🏰这是我住过的第84家城堡酒店,但从未遇到过这样的事情❗️
☝️官网上看起来一切正常,但事实并非如此👎
我写了两封邮件告诉他们我会入住,但他们没有回复。(他们通常会回复)
我在6月19日订了当时最贵的最好的房间。
克利福德房间沐浴在红色的灯光下,摆放着古董家具,以著名的安妮·克利福德夫人的名字命名!
克利福德房间位于三楼的走廊沿线,是新婚夫妇的首选卧室。房间采用中世纪风格的装饰,配有壁挂、古董衣柜和家具。卧室的窗户可以俯瞰内贝利街。穿过走廊两步,便是一间宽敞的私人浴室,内设卷边浴缸、地暖和独立的步入式淋浴间。如有需要,还有一扇门通往Vipont卧室。
您也可以在网站上预订午餐和晚餐。奇怪的是,预订只在抵达当天有效,不能提前预订!——房费包含早餐。
我很高兴能够参观这座著名的城堡,并在这个房间里过夜——我当时想,这就是我离开爱尔兰的原因。
抵达后,你一眼就能看出这里有些不对劲!
入口处空无一人,没有任何动静。
游客亭关闭了,主停车场里也没有车,尽管据说这里是一座博物馆。
一片死寂,宁静祥和,旅游旺季竟然空无一人?
我开车来到城堡所在地,心想停车场也在那里。
穿过城堡大门,只看到一片修剪整齐的草地,上面放着废弃的园艺工具和拖拉机。
哪儿也没有,也没人?没有客人,没有访客?现在是中午12点,我这样安慰自己。
然后我看到两个人影从城堡底层的楼梯上来。
终于来了!我心想,然后非常高兴。
结果,是女主人和酒店经理——她穿着短裤,看起来更像个园丁。
我们打烊了!他们喊道。下午3点开业。
他们让我把车停在城堡大门后面,晚点再来!
我说好的。我自我介绍,告诉他们我是谁。他们装作不知道我要来。我说克利福德房间是我的,晚餐已经订好了。
他们说这太好了,因为晚餐真的是世界一流的。
他们问我,你们有城堡吗?
你想买吗?我说不,我只是去看看。
他们答应晚点带我参观城堡,带我四处看看——我对此非常高兴。
(他们想把这座城堡卖给我?
也许这就是他们修剪草坪,想让我看所有东西的原因?)
然后就是一阵耳光,一连串的耳光!
我说我想吃午饭。
他们说不行!我说你可以预订午餐。他们说餐厅关门了。关门?我不喜欢这样。
我走出城堡,停好车。经理走过来告诉我不要这样停车,因为这里没有多少空间,要这样停车是因为客人来了,空间不够。好吧,我说,然后我看到一丝希望,也许一切待会儿都会好起来的。(后来证明,这只是一段误导性的、分散注意力的文字,用来掩盖现实。)
我去一家咖啡馆吃午饭,下午3点回到城堡。
当我从车里回到城堡时,看到一个身穿黑衣、步履蹒跚、蓬头垢面的男人走进了城堡的庭院。天哪!这会是谁?厨师?那我肯定不会在这里吃东西。这里交通不便,卫生条件也差。
他一消失,我就去了接待处,接待处关着门,于是我敲了敲门。有人在吗?我敲了敲门。
是的!他开了门,我看到了谁?那个踉踉跄跄的酒吧身影是接待员!他的指尖发黄,一边跟我说话,一边不停地打嗝,嗓子沙哑。我告诉他我取消了晚餐和早餐,而且我必须很早就离开。他说没问题,我可以把钥匙留在门上,然后就可以走了。
然后他走到一旁打电话报告他的主人——到目前为止一切都好,我没有问题。
这段时间,我在城堡接待处附近拍了几张照片。
他回来后说我们可以走了。
(去哪儿?我以为我的房间在城堡里!这会把我带去哪儿?)
我们正要离开城堡建筑,前往庭院,我问他我的房间是不是在堡垒建筑里?
不!这是博物馆!好吧,那我想去参观博物馆。那不可以!他回答说。“关门了!那也不可以?”我问。“这里什么都不能做吗?”
主人答应带我参观城堡。这不可能!他回答说。“为什么?因为所有地方都关门了,包括城堡建筑!”
他们事先就知道这一点,却故意欺骗客人,把城堡建筑里的住宿卖了!
房价必须预付!——为了确保收入!
然后他带我去了一间小屋,给我看了一间便宜得多、质量也差得多的房间。
这些骗子事先没有告诉我,我会得到另一间便宜得多的房间,而且不在城堡建筑里——而且差价会退还!
他们直到最后一刻才告诉我,我被骗了,我得到的和预付的完全不一样!
“这是我的房间吗?”我问。“就是这里!”牛眼睛都不眨地回答。
我的房间在哪里?城堡房间还是克利福德房间?——我又问了一遍。
还没准备好!他们正在打扫!
好的。那我等着!我说。
那不可能!他说。
为什么?我问。因为到不了!
别再骗我了!我受够你了!——我说。
他事先记住了那些含糊其辞的文字,所以他知道该说什么!——但我还是听到了!
我想和房东谈谈!那不可能!他说。他们晚上才来。我不需要这个房间!这不是我付钱住的房间!
我从爱尔兰来这里可不是为了这间房间、这体验!
没有午餐,餐厅关门了!
没有城堡导览!
博物馆关门了!
我的房间不在广告宣传的城堡里!
这可不是我订的房间,因为他们确认房间没问题!
差价也不退!
城堡里除了接待员没有其他工作人员!
晚餐可能和广告宣传的不一样
我敢肯定早餐也不一样,
因为餐厅和城堡都关门了!
受够了欺骗,受够了谎言,所有东西都关门了!
我要去退还房费,
否则我就以涉嫌欺诈为由报警!
我问他要不要报警。他不想报警,而是打电话给了房东,房东不想跟我说话,但我听到她在电话里说,她会退还房费。
- 我于2025年6月20日星期五收到了这笔钱,
但之后我的银行账户又在2025年6月23日星期一被盗了!
幸运的是,我当时还算镇定。
因为国王一紧张,连城堡的石墙都会颤抖!
我下午4点左右离开城堡,但没看到任何人,城堡周围连一个客人都没看到!
我不推荐这座城堡,所有设施都关闭了,一分钱一分货。这是一场早有预谋的骗局!
所以现在回想起来,我知道这家城堡已经破产了,
他们会因为不懂行而卖掉它,
这家城堡濒临破产,而且经营不善!
所以才有了这套“魔法”,阿布拉卡达布拉!
接待员是一个缓冲区。需要这个不幸的人,以便被骗的客人能够追究他的责任!
