scam??

Post scam emails to warn other rental owners, or if you are not sure if an enquiry is genuine, put it up here and see what others think.

If the police can't help you, you may find that your bank is interested. I worked for many years in UK bank and we had a large fraud department who were quite keen on picking up on this sort of thing. It might be worth a try.

You could change the name on the cheque, use it to book a rental which costs much less than that, saying you are a model on assignment, and ask for the difference to be sent to you immediately. :D

You should say you never received the check and make them send a new one!

I would just send the entire check to the Laguna Beach address and as THEM to send you the "extra" to cover your rental. Why can't the other people ever cash the check and then send US the correct amount Tell them that the rental will not be booked until you hear from the other party. 8)
