Contacted Mousepads and was informed that the new name of the company was Vacation Rentals of Orlando, Inc. (Formally Mousepads) (please note I have utilized mousepads in the past without any problems. I was interested in a 7-bedroom vacation home and was contaced by Erin Riley, Vacation planner for Vacation Rentals of Orlando. I contacted the same number as in the past and reached (so called) Erin Riley for Mouspads or Vacation Rentals of Orlando I submitted initial payment and then final payment. Checks cashed almos $1000 and no confirmation number and no answered or returned calls. Needless to say when I went to Florida the address was located inside of a UPS express store right next to a vacation planner (Lowrey's) office and they stated that this has happened to several people before.
Currently in the process of contacting my bank and the scammer bank which is Regions Bank and they will investigate. Iwill also contact the postal service for mail fraud as well. This happened on May 13th when I realized it was a scam. So beware and be3 careful... Pay with your credit card.
