Alpine Heath Groupon deal - Be Careful!


I've bought a few deals on Groupon in the last year, without any problems, magazine subscriptions, restaurant deals, etc. The last one however turned out to be a disaster because of Fineprint which means more than it says. When purchasing an Alpine Heath deal, be aware that 'subject to availability' means subject to availability of 'groupon allocated chales'. I bought the deal last year after phoning and confirming that there were available chalets during the period I was looking for. When I called back to confirm the booking and mentioned the Groupon code, the Chalet suddenly became unavailable. Instead of explaining the situation, the staff at Alpine Heath kept trying to hide the fact that they only made a few chalets available to Groupon and refused to let me talk to anyone with authority. Bad customer experience combined with Fineprint make for a bad experience. Be careful!

And it hits "mainstream" media 6 hours later...

Reshared post from +Reuters
The Google-Kenya scandal

Mocality is an African startup that has a Kenya-wide business directory. There is no Kenyan yellow pages, so the directory was crowdsourced, paying thousands of Kenyans to help create and validate its database.

When the businesses in Mocality's database started asking them about the premium service they were offering with Google, Mocality was puzzled. They had no joint venture with Google, and they had never charged any business for inclusion in their database. When they examined their server logs, they saw a large number of hits to the records for the businesses that had been cold-called from the same IP range.

So Mocality laid a trap: when that IP range next visited the Mocality site, they fed it fake phone numbers that went to Mocality's own call center, where a Mocality operator pretended to be a business-owner and recorded the conversation. In that conversation, the caller identified himself as a Google employee, calling about a joint Google-Mocality venture, and asking the business to pay Google for a Kenya Business Online website with its own domain on that basis. This was, of course, absolutely fraudulent. There was and is no Google-Mocality joint venture.

Reshared post from +Nelson Mattos
We were mortified to learn that a team of people working on a Google project improperly used Mocality’s data and misrepresented our relationship with Mocality to encourage customers to create new websites. We’ve already unreservedly apologised to Mocality. We’re still investigating exactly how this happened, and as soon as we have all the facts, we’ll be taking the appropriate action with the people involved.

Thank you, friends, yes, losses continue unabated. At current trends, predictions for end 2012 is that we will lose, through non-natural deaths, more than 1 000 Rhino. According to ethical SA conservationists, this represents probably in the region of 12% of the world's Rhino population. This is why Rhino Ultimatum is so critical and time is not on our or Rhino's side. Pls help to support this Rhino Ultimatum wherever you can. SA Govt MUST be taken to task for this atrocity against the natural world. Thank you for your care.
