    Rent My Vacation Home Stops Scams in 2012

    Orlando,Florida (PRWEB) December 27, 2011

    Rent My Vacation Home dot com offers tips on how to keep a family from the type of scams below that are now commonplace in the USA. Two men are accused of scamming at least 15 vacation home renters out of more than $ 50,000, police said Wednesday.

    These men allegedly posed as vacation rental agents on the top 3 major internet vacation home rental sites showing clients online photographs of properties they claimed were for rent.

    They received down-payments from clients, who would arrive to find that the residence they thought they had reserved but had never been available for rent, according to police. The 2 were also charged with theft as well as allegedly renting the same homes to people. They were not allowed to do business on Rent My Vacation Home as they tried to stay listed but were removed.

    How does a honest family guard against this type of fraud?

    1. Use sites like Rent My Vacation Home that offer guarantees to you against fraud or your money back.

    2. Never send a check to anyone ever your routing number to your bank and the account number is on the bottom.

    3. Insist they take a credit card for payment

    4. Never send security deposits and payments for damage in advance

    5. Always make sure you can cancel in case of emergency

    6. Always be wary of a key in the mail.

    CEO of Rent My Vacation Home, Mr. Jay Kalin, said, “On our site http://www.rentmyvacationhome.com unlike the other holiday rental netting sites. We check every listing and tell our vacationing customers that they will be given a warranty against fraud if the vacation renter gets travel guard insurance and uses the e-online data credit card check out system built into every listing.”

    “If the customer uses the Rent My Vacation Home dot com website and the home is a fraud the warranty policy protects them,” Kalin said. “That is one less worry the vacationer has this summer season and if they have any doubt about the vacation home they are about to rent from any other site ask if the owner if he can list on Rent My Vacation Home site for free and the stay will have a guarantee the stay policy in place.”

    Renting from a vacation home owner can and should be a great experience for the entire family this New year 2012. Please use the rules above and be careful and never assume that the vacation homeowner is the only home available.

    Shop around and do not take chances with your vacation. Always remember if it looks too good to be true it is. Try to use quality web sites like http://www.rentmyvacationhome.com that have all the above safeguards in place already. Make the New Year of 2012 the best family trip ever.

  • Q&A: On a credit card application, should I put my apartment rent total, or just my third?

    Question by cschuson: On a credit card application, should I put my apartment rent total, or just my third?
    Applying for my first credit card and on the application it asks for your monthly housing payment. I live in an apartment with two roommates. I’m wondering if I should put mastered the full rent payment, or only my third of the rent?

    Best answer:

    Answer by sheloves_dablues
    If the lease is in your name, and you’d have to cover the whole amount if there were no room-mates, indicate the whole amount. If you are not on the lease, bespeak only what you pay on a monthly basis.

    Joe asked:


    I applied online yesteray for my first credit card and they said I would get a response within 30 days. Why does it take so long? Is it because I have no credit and it was a student credit card? Also, I said I had both savings and a checking account but right now I only have a savings but will be getting a checking account on Saturday. Is it ok that I said I had both a checkings and a saving? Will it make them reject my application? Are they eager to give a credit card to someone like me, a young person likely to give them money for interest? I am just anxious about the whole thing. I am going to be responsible with it because I am careful with all my money.
    also I didn’t know what they meant by residence when they asked rent or own? do they seriously expect me to pay for rent at this age? So I selected “Other” and put zero paid month;y for my residence because that is what I pay, I mean I help my mom out sometimes but thats it.
    lol iceman, I said I made 6K a year because that is what I made in 2005
    well it was labled a student credit card….being wary should be expected of them if they think this.
    yeah it was CHASE
    what is the purpose of advertising student credit cards then?? they are designed for people like me who have no creidt. thanks for not answering my question.
