Email Address:
rental@boutique-rntl.com
Scam Website:
Will wait for owner to contact renter stating the property is not available. Then will email renter claiming to represent multiple vacation rentals on VRBO that are available, asking for a Swiss wire transfer to pay for property. Will use owner\'s real name in the reply and link to other sites that they are listed on (TripAdvisor etc) in the email. Beware wire transfers that are sent to countries outside that listed on the owner\'s address and ALWAYS verify the owner\'s identity with a phone call rather than VRBO account messages prior to wire transfer.

Boutique-rntl.com was registered 10/25/13 so I am hoping the bad publicity will make the scammer deactivate this site.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
