Groupon Mount Errigal Scam... is it another April Fools Joke?

Today's Groupon Scam comes to us from Belfast... again...

This deal is pretty straight forward:

'One Night Stay Including Full Use of Spa Facilities and Breakfast for Two People for £79 at the Mounth Errigal Hotel (Worth up to £206)'

So we went to the Mount Errigal website to search for prices for a room for 2 adults and breakfast.

Suprisingly, we found prices from €74 for a weekend stay for 2 adults including breakfast! That's £65! £14 less than the Groupon deal price!!!

So where did Groupon get the original price of £206 from? We searched many other weekend dates through the summer and fall and the highest price we found for a room with breakfast was €129 (£113).

That's still just HALF of the Groupon value of £206!

Lots of Facebook users are asking where the original price came from, but still no response from Groupon.

I'd like to think its another April Fool's Joke, like the Groupon National Deal today offering tickets to the Royal Wedding..... but sadly, I think people are actually buying this deal.

Groupon has explained that the original price is based on the €240/night Master Suite. The Master Suite has 2 Plasma screen TVs and an in-room jacuzzi. So if you have booked this deal and do not get the Master Suite contact the Advertising Standard's Authority at: http://www.asa.org.uk/.
