Scamed in Katowice airport by, ACE rent operated by OSEK rent

Hello friends,

I was a victim of a premeditated fraudulent scheme in Katowice by a car rental company, ACE rent operated by OSEK rent -

It has now been three weeks since I returned the car, and to this day I have received no proper explanation as to why my €1,000 deposit has not been returned. I have tried contacting the company several times by phone and email, but received no response.

The car was booked through Booking.com. After I contacted Booking.com, they informed me that the rental company was claiming that the windshield had been damaged.

If you take some time to search for this company online, you will find that many customers report the same pattern that the deposit is allegedly withheld because of minor scratches or other damage.

There are newspaper articles about their business practices, Facebook groups with people reporting similar experiences, and if you dig deeper, you will find many more complaints.

It's sad that a company like that can legally exist in the EU in 2026.

caut pantaloni scurți pentru ciclism

Salutare! Am nevoie de puțin ajutor să aleg o pereche de pantaloni scurți pentru ciclism. Aș vrea ceva de calitate, dar fără să fie foarte scumpi. Sunt la nivel de entry-level, așa că nu caut ceva foarte performant. MS

While returning to Europe from Vietnam (Saigon), we had a flight with China Eastern. On the day of departure, when we went to check in, we were informed that our flight had been canceled several days earlier. However, we did not receive any notification by email or SMS. In a way, we feel fortunate because the staff member at the desk did everything in her power to assist us. She managed to place us on another flight departing shortly from SGN to Shanghai, followed by a connecting flight to Europe the next day, with a 20-hour layover.No extra charges !Only we paid for accomodation and food ! How is it possible that we were not informed about this cancellation in advance? Is there any possibility of receiving compensation for the inconvenience and disruption to our travel plans?
