| +1 bestholidayrentals@gmail.com VRBO/Homeaway http://www.vrbo.com/137445ha 205 State Road Chilmark, MA 02535 This fraud took place with respect to the rental property 205 State Rd, Chilmark, Martha Vineyard, MA, 02535. My wife contacted the property owner through the online rental agency VRBO.com. (1011 W. Fifth, Suite 300, Austin, TX, 78703.) My wife then came to terms with the person she thought was the property owner and wired money. Property owner, Margaret Penicaud, claims to have no record of transactions, receiving money, etc. She and VRBO claim that their email/system were hacked. I of course have no idea what actually happened here. Money was wired to Barclays Bank Acct, V Calin, Flat8, 45-47 Leinster Square, Paddington, London, W2 4PU. |

I own a vacation home and someone claiming to be me responded to an inquiry. They tried to work out a price but the women looking to book called me directly and we figured out this was a scam. Please stay away from bestholidayrentals@gmail.com
Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
