Hi Everyone,

Smart Rentals has just come to our attention as property owners. We (thankfully) have had two astute potential renters contact us first when they saw a \'too good to be true\' deal on our own property in Islamorada, Florida Keys.

We have never given authorization to any companies outside of VRBO, Homeaway, Vacation Rentals, Flipkey and the Official Florida Keys Tourism Board site to list our property. Smart Rentals Inc. has effectively illegally listed our property and appears to be phishing off the Homeaway site with unsolicited offers to potential renters with ridiculous discounts including airport transfers, daily housekeeping and free laundry service to name a few of the perks. Of course some major alarms bells should be the 100% deposit due within 10 days, unsolicited contact and overseas company for a US based rental.

My advice to anyone is NOT to use Smart Rentals Inc.


Here is a link to the Trip Advisor warning also. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g28953-i4-k6724797-Has_anyone_ever_heard_about_Smart_Rentals_Inc-New_York.html

Our personal site for our property is www.floridathelastresort.com and just to be clear we are in NO WAY associated with Smart Rentals Inc.

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.
