Vacation Rental News – Good and Bad!

First the good news:

Beautiful-Places.com is the first vacation rental company to ever receive a Travel Weekly Magellan Award. BRAVO! This opens the door to Vacation Rental Industry Recognition and Standards (they say in the article - click here.)

Now the bad news:

'Nigerian fraud' hits vacation rental firm – read the article here in the Newburyport Daily News, my hometown paper.

The Vacation Rental Industry is gaining strength, power and huge popularity. That fact will attract the good like Beautiful-Places.com as well as the bad/ugly like the scammers in the second article.

As a professional Vacation Rental Manager, you may want to blog about or publish these Fraud Prevention Tips on your website:

> Pay with a credit card > Avoid wire transfers and money orders > Speak to the owners or managers on the phone if suspicous > Ask for references if suspicious > Request the street address of the property > Ask where else the property is advertised and for how long > Never give out personal financial information

Want to chat about both the good and bad news?
