Type of a scam Rental
IN THE MONTH OF 10/18 MR.DAVIS HAD A VACATION RENTAL PROPERTY LISTED ON EXPEDIA FOR 1332 BOURBON STREET. I BOOKED A RESERVATION THROUGH EXPEDIA FOR THIS PROPERTY. 2 WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM EXPEDIA SAYING THE RESERVATION WAS CANCELLED AND THEY PROVIDED ME A PHONE NUMBER TO CONTACT THE OWNER . I CALLED THE NUMBER AND THIS IS WHEN ME AND MR.DAVIS CONTACT BEGAN. MR.DAVIS EXPLAINED EXPEDIA HAD NOT PAID HIM IN 3 MONTHS AND HE CUT TIES WITH THEM BUT WAS STILL WILLING TO RENT THE VACATION HOME TO ME. I TYPED A CONTRACT AND PROVIDED A DEPOSIT OF $450 TO SECURE MY DATE. 3 WEEKS AGO I BEGAN CALLING HIM TO TOUCH BASIS SINCE THE RESERVATION IS 3 WEEKS AWAY AND GOT NO RESPONSE FROM HIM. I HAVE EMAILED, TEXTED AND CALLED AND STILL NO RESPONSE. I CALLED FROM A NEW ORLEANS NUMBER AND HE ANSWERED, AT THAT MOMENT I REALIZED I WAS SCAMMED.
