Avoiding and Identifying Scams and Fraudulent Inquiries

If the person corresponds with broken English, misspellings, and/or improper use of grammar and word choice, take caution. Be aware that scammers will also try and impress the owner by their financial status - posing as a doctor or an important figure in government - as a form to guarantee payment. If they increasingly become persistent with overpayment or have irrelevant information to tell you, it’s best to avoid any further correspondence with that individual.

Common sense may also be your best tool in avoiding a potential scam. If an inquiry seems too good to be true, it probably is. If the inquiry is irrelevant in regards to booking your place, it probably is. If the inquiry causes too much hesitancy to respond, or seems awkward, save your time for a real inquiry. Remember, there are plenty of eager travelers waiting to book your place.

-There are an incredible amount of misspellings
-There are no spaces in between sentences
-Little or no use of capitalization (or sometimes overcapitalization)
-Vague information about the owners rental
-Mailer poses as a travel agent, wedding planner, relative, or someone other than the actual renter
-Broken English
-Improper usage of grammar
-Attempts to get personal information from the owner
-Many of these emails are sent in large numbers and the same message may be given to the same owner twice, but with different names and email addresses for contact information. This is the easiest indication that the email is a scam
