I've booked a villa in spain (directly with the owner who is English) for a fortnight in the summer and am begining to have concerns. I paid a deposit into his bank a/c in spain and am a bit worried about having to pay the full amount 6 weeks before the arrival date. I searched for his company name in the UK and found out that the company was disolved last year. All the correspondance I had up to this was through e mail. I had a mobile number but any time I rang it I got his voicemail. I rang the landline number advertised and could not get him directly but to some woman who would pass on the message. He rang me last week to explain that the company is registered in Spain and not the UK.
How can I find out if this is true?
I don't want to ring him again and confront him without looking stupid, while at the same time I don't want to be taken for a mug and end up in Spain with no where to stay and this guy has scarpered with my money!
On the other hand, he may be totally genuine but this is the first time I've booked holidays directly over the net and am a bit naive to how it works.
Am I worrying un-necessarily?
