I received a grammatically incorrect text and email from VRBO saying they suspected someone was trying to use my VRBO account fraudulently and I was to log in , enter my ID and password, etc.   This seemed very odd to me, and I was not able to get through to customer support.  mitch lucker Has anyone else received a note like this? 412 Views Tags: none ( add )

Oh my, that has scam written all over it and I find it scary.  I've received texts asking for my email address, but never anything as blatant as that.  I assume they are trying mitch lucker to duplicate something close to our legitimate email addresses in order to respond to inquiries on their fraudulent ads.  But to come right out and ask for log-in information is gutsy.  If you check that phone number out - I'm sure it will be bogus.  Like Show 0 Likes ( 0 ) Actions

In every case one should always examine URLs carefully for the actual domain name.
