Fake Rental Website -perfectresortapartmentrentals.com

Split topic - Michelle

I have a website of a rental company that looked suspicious. I googled parts of the info on the website and the phone number +447012967127 referred me here. The site is http://perfectresortapartmentrentals.com/. I really don't think they are legit.

Good day,

I am looking accommodation for 3 people (4 for two days) for about 10 days. I saw that a deposit is required. How do I make payment? Please note that I don't live in the UK and the people in question will be arriving from other countries.

Regards

How do I do this? I live in Nigeria. Last time I came to the UK, I was allowed to pay cash because of the difficulty of international funds transfer from here.

But you are a registered company. How can you not have a traceable way of accepting payments? I thought all rental companies are supposed to offer options that allow for buyer's protection?
