You still haven’t confirmed my Costa Linda week. Why not?

You took my 800 and you haven’t confirmed my costa Linda rental. Tou said 24 hours. It’s now 72 hours and I have not hearda word from you after many conversations. I guess I lost my money.

the original poster has been banned due to the reported scam.

I do not believe the user DRILESS is related to BEAR181

however no matter where you see a rental, it is VITAL to follow the verification guidelines that expose red flags to identify scammers before money is sent.

These weeks are still available. I don't know or care who BEAR181 is, except that I care when someone is being scammed. My statement "if that doesn't work for you" was directed at the TUG membership at large and not at pvbenny1.

Just curious Brian. For my own education what are the verification guidelines before sending money?

 

[TUGBrian]

are linked in 2 of the 3 stickies at the top of the LMR forum

are also linked on the "contact member" page when sending any message for a rental in the TUG marketplace

Sticky - Please read this before you send money for a rental

While there is no 100% way to eliminate scammers, there are some very simple and easy steps you can take to minimize the risk to you and expose a rental scam before money is sent. This is taken directly from the existing sticky thread here on this very forum, but it deserves more attention...

I have successfully traded with DRlIess and also met in person, everything went smoothly.

Why do we even let people who can’t even support tug with a lousy $15 a year rent to people as guests?

 

[TUGBrian]

one of the big red flags is a brand new member offering a great rental deal, unfortunately that gets ignored quite a bit!

certainly not the worst idea to limit last minute rentals OFFERED to members only, my only fear of that will be that people see someone has joined and they STILL wont look at the join date but assume that since they have paid $15 for a new membership and have the TUG MEMBER tag, they cant be a scammer.

Maybe color code new members member label bright green, lol.
