Re: Has anyone experienced Fraud and does Redweek have a way to report abusers? (by R P.):

If you do a search you may be able to contact the owner through another avenue that doesn't require you to be a $15 paid member. It really stinks when you pay specifically to contact specific owners only to find out the property that you were interested in is not available anymore. Its not redweek;s fault that the owner hadn't taken the listing down but it isn't user friendly if you are interested in 1 specific rental and have to pay to find out that it is no longer available.
Redweek is a business like any other business ..... they are not mind readers, so if the rental is not available then it's the ad listers fault, not Redweeks. The $15 for membership to contact owners is to protect the ad owner from scams and spam. Scammers and the spammers use free websites like CraigsList .... they won't give up $15 to join a site like Redweek in order to operate their scams.
