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.”

Rebecca Beckett asked:
It’s so easy making purchases online and just waiting until they arrive in the mail. However, with this rise in web business and online credit card processing, people need to be even more diligent in protecting their identity. Make sure you are playing it smart when it comes to using internet transactions to make your life easier.
Credit cards are the most common way people pay for things online. While some options also include paypal, direct from your checking account or e-check, most people tend to rely on credit cards. You should not be afraid to shop online or store your information online. However, you can easily make yourself smarter regarding some of the scams out there and also how to make sure you are shopping from a secure source.
1. Keep your internet browser updated. Browsers have security software capabilities and you need to keep this information up to date. Make sure you are using the latest encryption technology.
2. You can look for digital certificates to validate the identity of the site you visit. Look for the VeriSign logo on the site or other such independent services, which will assure you that the site is legitimate.
3. Read the privacy policy. Make sure that your personal information isn’t being sold or passed around.
4. Use one credit for online purchases rather than several.
5. Every once in awhile you may receive those scam e-mails asking you to verify your personal information, passwords or credit card numbers. Don’t fall for these e-mails. Never give out this kind of information unless you know exactly who is requesting it.
6. Keep receipts and keep track of your credit card statements.
7. You will almost always get an online receipt when you purchase. Make sure you receive one.
8. Keep an eye on the domain. Make sure you are not transferred to an outside site trying to steal your information.
More and more people are using the internet to save costs during this troubled economy. From online subscription services allowing you to get household items at monthly increments to buying gifts for the whole family, there is a reason for everyone to flock to the web. It is a great way to comparison shop. Online banking too is becoming more commonplace. The days of check writing are in the past and the days of bill pay, credit and debit cards are here to stay. In fact, even a lot of media is now online allowing users to purchase downloadable television shows, movie and music. We have not seen the end of the wonders and possibilities available with the internet.
Act smart when you purchase things online, pay your bills or handle other banking matters. You don’t have to shy away from the internet as more and more things are becoming easier to handle online. However, you should stay smart. Protect yourself so those scam artists don’t steal your identity. If you do become afraid that you are a victim of identity theft check your credit report online. Stay on top of your information so that you can make sure it is accurate. If you take some simple steps to keep your information safe you will be able to shop online with peace of mind.

“…They are specialized in finding the best deals for the most varied situations so you can reorganize your life and find the best way out of debt with monthly payments that you can afford.

There are many dangers all over the world but to not find yourself a way to reorganize your life because you are afraid of falling into a bad scheme is just crazy. You must keep your eyes opened and know exactly what you have to look for in order to be protected from bad scams.

All of these are characteristics present in reliable and reputable companies.
