Please be aware of fraudulent activity FRBO.com has had measures in place to try and identify fraudulent listings. However, we have recently (May 2012) been notified of several scams that have occured. These involve con artists representing themselves as home owners renting their vacation home. The send contracts and ask for a security deposit sent as a cashiers check or money order. Please report these to us. They are scams. If you have been scammed or believe there is a scam, please contact your local authorities and let us know. Please also submit your case with The Internet Crime Compliant Center (IC3). Here is there website: The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), funded in part by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Since notified of the first scam in mid May 2012, we have taken additional measures to verify property ownership. We now require owners to submit two of the following: Driver's license, Property Tax Bill, water bill or any other utility bill with the address of the property and the owner's name. We have deactivated all of our individual listings until we recieve the verification documents. Thanks. FRBO.com |
