I was helping my friend from China to book his last night in San Francisco city. I found this website from Craigslist vacation rental. What a disaster I have went through. So, I have to warn everyone and DO NOT fool from this company.
There are two names linked with this fraud. Tyler F, address: 24 Thorncreek CT, Thornton, CO 80241, Another Name ...Dennis D
Address:1475 Lincoln way East , South Bend ,42618
Dennis is the major person who emails back and fourth. I trusted him and mailed him $500 deposit from Western Union. At first, the check haven't even arrival yet(according post office tracking number, the mail was delayed), he told me he did received the mail, but inside was empty, means the check was lost or stolen. So, I quickly sent western Union stop check/refund), During these time, Dennis again told me, I should send $500 through MoneyGram in order to hold the reservation. I tried to call the number of Jav rental, Telephone: 1-866-600-6767
Fax: 1-866-667-1785 Never even one time someone answer the phone, it was always answering machine. I should sense the red flags. Then, I research more online, Found other people mentioned about Dennis D's name and address. I totally realized that I was wasting my time and almost waste my $500 deposit. I called post office in CO, the lady Karen K was very nice and hold my mail in time. And she passed it to the police department to do investigate. During the time, Western Union received my $15 check requested to stop the check and asked for a refund. Everything went smoothly and I have received Western Union sent me a full refund $500 check yesterday and I have deposited into my own account immediately. I only loss $15 and twice posttages.(around $10 roughly)
It would be ruin the vacation of my friend from China the first time in San Francisco. He was laughed at me that I traveled all over the world were fine. But, got scammed at my own country here. Fortunately it is a small damage but learned a big lesson. Be aware and something too good to be true. Make sure think it again.
