Hi Tim

I have received an email from a company called four.bgb who say they work with Just You on publicity, They ask if I would like to talk about my recent holiday for an article in the Mail on Sunday.

Could you let me know whether this is for real or not...?!

Many thanks

Sylvia

Hi Sylvia - yes, this is genuine. Four bgb are a PR agency we are working with for an article in the Mail on Sunday. If you have any further questions about this, please let me know.

Thanks,

Tim

Slyvia, make sure you charge a fee and retain copyright. It could end up being syndicated around the world!!

Hi Sylvia,

I've got the same email and considering whether to reply and was going to ask the same question.

Given all the problems on my recent National Parks trip, it could make interesting reading.

On a similar note have also got a email from "feefo" asking for a review of my recent holiday, Is this also legitimate ?

Hi Tim

I have had an email from FeeFo asking for a customer review for Just You. Is this a valid company endorsed by Just You?

Kind regards.

Hi Mick and Melanie - yes, Feefo is legitimate. It's an independent customer review and feedback system.

Thanks,

Tim

Tim -Thanks for your reply to my (and others') queries. I must admit to being slightly surprised that JY is giving out personal details of its customers to third parties what with data protection and all that....

Mick - I'm still pondering the four.bgb email. What about you? Shall we go for it?

I got that too but I was surprised you use them. There is no indication on your web page, and that is what feefo is all about. You have a 95% customer satisfaction rating on your service, you should scream about it.

Hi Sylvia, we are not passing customer details on to Feefo, we are using the Feefo system to gather customer feedback and reviews - all of which remain completely anonymous.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi, we are currently working on integrating Feefo reviews on to our website - we just wanted to gather a sufficient number of reviews first.

Thanks,

Tim - when I referred to personal details earlier, I meant my email address which I consider to be personal details. Where did four.bgb get this from if not JY? I'm not being difficult, just looking for clarity...

Mick - I've signed up too.
