Thinking more like advertise as a "shed restaurant" let them book, take the cash and run.... Deposit the cash in a Nigerian bank, because that dude seems legit  ;D

Good scam!

I saw some reviews on Trip Advisor for a resort in Maine that were pretty obviously fake and intended to pump up the rating of the place.  I reported the bogus reviews, but Trip Advisor didn't do anything.

I just really don't trust trip advisor , even without knowing that ...what you just said , that they did nothing when you reported a scam , which is annoying  >:(  But I think , what one person thinks is a rubbish place to stay at , might actually be ok . I think some people want to just find fault with everything , and then other people will say it's fine , and it's an absolute hell hole of a place !  I've stayed in a couple of hotels that haven't had great reviews on trip advisor , and they've been great :)

Maybe it was.  That would explain the creepy old man I saw hanging around the shadows. >:D

That could just as easily have been Star.  They may have been stalking each other.
