I am submitting this report to notify everyone of a suspected rental scam I encountered through VRBO. I was contacted by an individual who claimed to represent a company called “ERG Travel” and offered a property for rent. The communication raised concerns, so I took steps to verify the legitimacy of the offer. I reached out directly to the verified property owners using the official contact information listed on VRBO. The owners confirmed that they have no connection with “ERG Travel” and are not aware of any person or company renting their property under that name. Based on this confirmation, it appears that the individual who contacted me was misrepresenting themselves and attempting to rent a property they have no authority over. If I had proceeded with the arrangement, I could have been at risk for financial loss through fraudulent deposit or rental payments. I am reporting this situation so BBB can document the incident, investigate any activity associated with “ERG Travel,” and help protect other consumers who may be targeted in a similar way. I am able to provide screenshots of the communication, the VRBO listing, and my correspondence with the verified property owners if needed. This situation appears to be a clear attempt at deception, and I am requesting that BBB review and record this information for consumer awareness and any appropriate follow-up actions.
