OD scam floodgates opening again

Post by aussiefrog »

Four stupid enquiries received today from:

Tony Apland, Tony Hasher, Tony Corrington (x 2)

All requesting a reply back to another email address. Sigh.

Add Yasmin/e Bryan to the list.

It's about time Homeaway spent some of the service fee protecting owners from these scams as well as guests!

This latest lot aren't very creative with their first names are they!

Is it co-incidence or what that scam enquiries virtually died off when they changed the website in November. Of course, genuine enquiries also died at the same time. Now that they are grabbing money from virtually anyone that clicks on their site, scams are increasing again. Maybe someone at OD pressed a button to let any old enquiries through again. Who knows, we may start getting genuine ones again.
