See, thats funny because last month we went to Sears Point for the last race in the series. I like to do vacation rentals- renting a house for a week- instead of doing hotels. It saves a little bit of money and is generically just a nicer environment.

So we find the perfect rental- 6br, pool, deck, walk to the beach, etc. Get to the point of making a deposit and the person doesnt answer when my wife calls to ask about some additional payment details. She does a little digging and finds another number for the house in a different listing, figures ones probably the office and the other a cell- oops wrong! Turns out the second call was to the owner of the house. The first contact was a fake ad done up by a scammer who had taken the pictures, description, etc from the owners ad. The house was already rented, so we would have shown up and not had anywhere to stay, not to mention being out a couple grand. There are scum out there in the world, so stay sharp and watch your money!
