This is the bird show. Look, if First Big Adventure was a company, you guys would be the shareholder. So we try to keep you guys up to date with what's going on with the quote unquote company, even though it's a family. And we've got a Birch Big Adventure kit that's ringing the bell today. I know. It's so excited for chance. You got to have a lovely steak dinner with, didn't you? That's his comfort food whenever he was feeling really, really bad. his go-to was always

his go-to was always steak. So, yeah, we sat down one night and had an amazing steak. From chef Kevin Gillespie. Yes. So, yeah, Chance is going to be at the hospital today, the bell signifying the end of treatment.

That's great news. Really great news. All right. So tell us about this scam on your trip. Oh my God. I really thought I was getting scammed by the one tour that I decided to organize on my big girl's trip to Crete that we just went on last week. I already missed it. I don't want to go back. there's nothing worse than waking up at 5m and being like,

I was just eating Tizaki on a beach three days ago.

But anyway, I organized this big girls trip. This is my second year doing it. Last year we went to Ireland. And I do it through this tour group that basically just like helps big groups do these big trips where you can take 25 people. And, you know, they handle all the things like the tours and the transportation and some of the meals.

And it just kind of streamlines everything and you know they're really great about about picking great tours but there was one day where I was like you know I know some of the girls that are coming on this trip and I know there's one day they're going to want freaking party. So I started going to Google and I was like,

let me find us a beach club for us to go and hang out at and have a good time out.

Like I know that's something that they're going to want to do one day.

And so I go to Google,

find the top beach club in the city called Tanya.

And I'm like,

this will be the perfect day for us to go.

We have a couple of hours. We'll lay out on the beach. We'll drink champagne. It'll be amazing. So I go to the website, submit my request. And I'm like, hey, I have 15 girls I want to come out. Blah, blah, blah. Tell me what I need to do to make this reservation. And I get an email back from not the email I had sent it to. So let's say it was beach club at gmail.com. I got an email back from like reservations for beach club at gmail.com. And I'm like, that's not the email that I sent it to. And I'm like, this is a little suspicious. And because it was months in advance, I was like, oh my God, like, am I about to get scanned? Like,

what, what's happening? Like, they're giving me, you know, the list and of how much it's going to cost. And honestly, I thought it was a pretty good deal. So I'm like, but they're saying they need a 50% deposit for these 15 girls. And I'm like, okay, let me sit on it. Let me like look at the trust pilot reviews and see if everything's okay. Couldn't find anything online about the reservation

system. Just a lot of really great trip advisor reviews and so I'm like okay

well let me try and send it send another email in like a month and let me see if you know when

they're in season I get an email back from the one that I sent it to so I go back to beach club

at gmail.com and I go, hey, I have 15 girls.

Anita Cabana, six sunshairs, blah, blah, blah, blah, let me know. And then I get an email back. Again, the same sketchy email that wasn't the one I sent it to. And I'm like, okay, at this point, I'm just going to have to put the deposit down. So I ask, what's the scenario for me putting down my money? like what do I have to do?

Do I have to give you a credit card?

And they go, well do I have to do?

Do I have to give you a credit card? And they go, well, you have to wire us 50% of the money. Wire. They have to do a wire transfer for 15%. And I immediately go, this is suspicious. Because over in the States, we don't do wiring money unless you're like in Adelvie. and you're trying to like, you know, spend thousands and thousands of dollars on a hotel that you can't afford.
