<h1>It&#8217;s Vacation Rental Scam Season</h1>
<h3>Feds offer tips to avoid having your vacation spoiled</h3>

With the beginning of spring, consumers start turning their  attention to vacation time and rental properties.</p>
<p>The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) and the FBI receive  numerous complaints from individuals who have fallen victim to scams  involving rentals of apartments and houses, as well as online real  estate postings.  ConsumerAffairs.com hears from people who say they got  burned, too.</p>
<p>Jewels of Cornville, AZ, tells us that her and her husband had got a  vacation rental in San Diego, CA, on Craigslist from Jennifer P. G. &#8220;She  told me the place was clean and the pictures showed a nice view of the  bay. She told me that was the view from the living room in the  apartment. So we paid 1800.00 in deposits to her.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jewels says after a seven-hour drive, &#8220;we were appalled at what we  saw. It was in the back of a hotel where there was garbage and huge  rusted cargo crates right there next to the building. The steps going up  to the condo were cracked and the railing was broke and there was a big  drop down.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ways consumers can protect themselves from rental schemes include:</p>
<p>• Do not wire funds to people you do not know.</p>
<p>• Check with your county recorder to learn who owns the property  you&#8217;re seeking to rent.</p>
<p>• Call the property manager or association, if applicable, and ask  about the landlord.</p>
<p>• Ask the landlord for a rental application. It&#8217;s a red flag if one  is not available; most managed properties require an application.</p>
<p>• Find out how much of a security deposit may be requested in your  state. Scammers will often ask for extra money in the form of a deposit.<br />
