Brexit-loving Julia Hartley-Brewer was worried about her holiday and everyone made the same joke
Julia Hartley-Brewer is many things – Express columnist, Talk Radio presenter and Brexit cheerleader.
And it was the last of these three that people had in mind when she shared this urgent holiday query on Twitter.
Advice please!! Just booked a hotel through @Agoda & got a website msg & email from their fraud dept requiring scanned copies of my payment card & passport/ID to confirm. It *looks* legit but surely this is a fraud? No one answering their customer line. Any thoughts?

And the replies were very satisfying indeed. See if you can spot what they’re getting at …

Just do it and with enough belief that it’ll turn out fine, I’m sure it will.

You lost! (Possibly) Get behind the Agoda!

Agoda means Agoda and we’re going to make a success of it.

I’m all for a hard Agoda.

There is no downside, only considerable upsides to hard Agoda.

Go for it Julia. It sounds legit to me.

Totally legit and trustworthy and to be on the safe side you should send the original passport and credit card rather than photocopies

You’ve taken the decision, Julia. You have to stick with it.

Let’s have an advisory Vote on this & then treat the result as legally binding:
Should Julie send her personal details on an email ?
