Re: Membership requirements for potential renters ($9.99 fee) (by Scott M.):
Darlene- I agree with your sentiments. I joined Redweek thinking it would offer some protection from scams. I tried to do my homework before sending someone money. Redweeks TOS specifies: "we do take special precautions to ensure our users are who they say they are", but when I was scammed the response I got from Redweek was as follows:
"Chances are, this person used a stolen credit card and address to pay for the RedWeek membership. I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance. Best regards, Alisa"
Thanks a lot. If Redweek is such a den of thieves, I'm better off at Craigslist where at least I expect this much and don't have to pay for it. Scott
