Re: UKNM: Scoot

[Allie Symonds]

Just to let you know - I have printed a selection of these e-mails and sent

them to Scoot with a request that they cancel my newly signed agreement on

the grounds that the service has been generally very poor and the sales

process a shambolic 'say anything they will never check' approach.  Which I

unfortunately fell for.


I'll keep you posted with their reaction if you are interested.
