1st email January 2001:
Hi,
My name is Brian F_gel. My
wife, myself and Dog are looking for a private, secluded
cottage with a sandy beach
Can you help
(for last week in July)
Our reply:
Dear Brian
We do take dogs, however,
because of potential problems we ask for a deposit of $100
dollars and if everything goes fine we fully refund the
deposit. We have done this many times and it works
well.
Please see our full web site at http://www.cottageforrent.com/
The cottage Sawyer's Bluff is
the only cottage that would be suitable that is available.
Regards
Jim and Viv
2nd email:
Jim,
How secluded is your unit. We
are actually looking for something with no close neighbours
(PRIVATE)
Do you have any
pictures to email us? A deposit is fine with us.
Comment: The
first email says two people and a dog but the second wants no
close neighbours (PRIVATE)
I should have seen something
but did not until arrival. Well they book and we meet at the
cottage but now we have the mother in law and two more guests
in their party for a total of five people and the dog. We
explain this was not to our liking and against our original
agreement as email one shows. This is not the end ,oh no,
after about an hour we see someone motion at the dock and we
go and investigate. It is a boat with two people from one bay
over asking us if we know the F_gels because some people
had come to their cottage door minutes earlier and demanded to
know where our cottage was. Now we have upset cottage owners.
We try and calm them just when another vehicle arrives at the
rental cottage. Yes now there are three more for a total of 8
people and a dog. We were quite upset and spoke to the booking
person Brian F_gel .He, of course, blamed it on his wife and
said he was not aware of the situation until it was too late
to tell us. We were told that three of the people would be
staying at a lodge down the bay. We tried to make the best of
a bad situation and charged the other two a nominal fee . It
went downhill from this point and they completely took over
the property with the people staying at the lodge coming by
boat before 7 AM and staying well into the night . What was
supposed to be two people and a dog was completely
misrepresented..
The deposit for the dog was not
fully refunded because of the untidy conditions not cleaned by
the owners of the dog.
As well, our septic systems
overflowed from the partying unwelcome guests. THIS WAS NOT
FUN.
We thought it was over.........
Next email May 2002 :
I am interested in renting in
month of august. Please send details.
Sincerely,
Ben Hacking
Comment: This email had Brian F_gel as the sender but look at his signature name . Our
nightmare has returned.
Brian F_gel's 2nd email May 2002 :
you will get yours you
thieving a..hole, you ripped us off. what comes around ,
goes around
i'm on you
Brian F_gel's 3rd email May 2002 :
This email was a link to a web
site telling us of courage http://home.att.net/~RWfreebird/index.htm
Your guess is a good as ours as
to what this meant.
Brian F_gel's 4th email May 2002 :
Next he is insulting my partner
Vivian Lee for her being of Asian origin. I assume it is
something to do with mail order brides. Viv's family moved to
Canada in the mid 70's. This is the link he sends.

Brian F_gel's 5th email May 2002 :
Comment: He titles this :
lookincrawlspacejack.jpg We think he is threatening us
with possible future damage or something equally demented.
Brian F_gel's 6th email May 2002 :
I'd like to rent this piece
of shit run down sorry
Comment: He puts FU
in the subject line
Brian F_gel's 7th email May 2002 :
Comment: Nothing in it . Did not even fill
in the subject line. This person and others like him are
quite sick and obviously need help. We can only hope others
have better things to do with their time and this one learns
to take responsibility. We have given all this information
to the authorities and will leave it with them to decide on
any course of action.
