Recently Booked several room with Otel.com. We found the best prices on their site to book a block of rooms, meaning we wanted several rooms for several nights. 1-day after booking the room, my bank called to verify fraudulent activity.
My bank said, "Activity has been reported on your credit card in Istanbul, Turkey. Apparently there are people attempting to book rooms in Istanbul." Needless to say, we rejected the attempt and changed the card number.
Because I'm an I.T. Tech, I traced the source of the fraud to MetGlobal, the parent company of Otel.com. MetGlobal's main headquarters resides in Istanbul, Turkey.
This is the first time I've ever used an outside website to book rooms. I always use certain sites, because they're secure. There was no possible way that my credit card number was seized in any other reasonable way than an employee of MetGlobal stole it.
This is being reported to the FBI, Interpol, and Internic. Otel.com should be taken down immediately.
