| +1 I was on Homeaway.com website looking for a place to rent in October in New York City. I found this apartment located in Green Rented an apartment in Greenwich Villages for October 12 - 16. Wired $1043 to account # 50980692 Barclays Bank UK. July 22, 2013 received an email saying my reservation is cancelled. I used Homeaway.com and found the apartment on the website. You are instructed to email the property manager or the owner. I did and got a response and then instruction to wire funds and a residential guest rental form which I filled out, signed and returned. I have used Homeaway.com several times and have been quite happy. They investigated and can\'t find the property or where my money is. If anyone has any suggestion as to who I need to approach to get my money back, I would really appreciate it. |
