My renter was on his honeymoon and wanted to secure my rental so a client that owed him money was going to send it to me. THEN by mistake the client sent the money orders to me in the entire amount owed to him instead of the rental amount. Which was thousands more. So then he began dictating to me how I was to handle the "extra" money that had been sent to me by accident along with a bunch of "I am counting on you to be honorable as I have always dealt with people on there word" It took me twice to read it and I knew it was out of line. He either got my name from TUG, MYRESORTNETWORK.com or REDWEEK. These are the ONLY places I placed an ad. It was only my second time so I am very glad I saw thru this scum scammer. I was demanded to cash and send back immediatly. BEWARE.
Hi Debi,
Glad you saw thru the scam. If the email came from RedWeek.com the message email would say on the bottom unless you included your email address within the posting or RedWish:
"This message was sent through RedWeek.com.
Your privacy is important to us. If you suspect e-mail abuse, please contact us immediately at abuse@redweek.com.

If you feel this scam came from RedWeek.com please email us immediately and let us know the person's name so we can further investigate.
Thanks, Marty
