Oooh that sounds like a terrible experience Tracey! My mom had that happen when they rented an AirBNB in Phoenix for 2 months last year. Looked amazing online but when you actually get there the furniture was rock hard and unusable. Sheets for beds had holes in them, and there were other people’s dirty socks under them. The yard was full of weeds, and the patio furniture all had cracks in them so was not comfortable at all. She was so disappointed!
Hubby fell for one of those online scams this year (insert head shake here!). He saw an ad on FB for a 4 burner camping stove for $50 and thought well that’s a good deal and proceeded to buy it. It was a spoof site, looked like the Costco website and claimed to be clearance stuff from Costco. It was too goo to be true - we did actually receive something in the mail from them - a $2 pair of sunglasses from the dollar store. They tried to use the card information (the real scam) but it was flagged and blocked, so we had to do the rigamaroll of getting the charge for the “grill” back and cancelling the card and getting a new one. Bet he won’t do that again! Lol
