Hi Steve,
We had virtually the same experience with Martin ** EDITED - Against forum rules ** in Feb 2012. We payed 950 euros as a deposit through holiday lettings. As in your circumstances Martin was the middle man and accepted the deposit. The villa also in Cabo Roig was a luxury villa for 10 people. The reference number for the villa was 131902. We lost the deposit also. I had no joy with holiday letting and or the villa owner. I went down the lines of reporting him to the UK fraud prevention police. All my details are registered with them, but as such they have had no luck in tracing him. The address we had for him was 119, calor bador. Cabo Roig. Orihuela Costa 03189.
I hope i have been of use and i will continue to attempt to trace this person. Please let me know how you have got on with everything.
Regards Gary
