Houses (and indeed many people dream of holidays in Tuscany hills), which can be rented through the Internet, without a bad conscience deliveries to several customers, and happened to be already, that the four families at the same time be confronted with a house. It is often not carried away no better for the Italians - in Milan is about a one hundred people have paid five hundred euros for the flight ticket to the Philippines. And left even without a ticket, because the travel agency which sold the ticket, from today - tomorrow close the door, the unidentified owners are gone, the door is disappointed awaits only the word "Closed!"
